Data type for ArrayList get() function (class, OOP)

Processing Coding Questions

this method is inside the class! (Which is debatable!)

you need

Class_B dummy= new Class_B(BX+100, BY+100, 30, 35, 125, “5”); //
Class_B refClass_B = dummy.getClass_B(i);

But there are other errors

but there are other errors; missing function draw(), one { too much…

Initialize() doesn’t exist

the elements are not added to the ArrayList…

Here is a version that works




// INITIALIZE SHEET : see below: Initialize()
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
ArrayList<Class_B> class_b_elements = new ArrayList<Class_B>();
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

// CLASS B SHEET :
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
class Class_B {
  float x;
  float y;
  float w;
  float h;
  int couleur;
  String Blabel;
  int tStatus=1; // specifies current status (0=off/not visible, 1=on/visible)
  int hStatus=0; // specifies if current is highlighted (1) or normal (0)

  //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

  //constr
  Class_B(float x, float y, float w, float h, int couleur, String Blabel) { // rectangle
    this.x=x;
    this.y=y;
    this.w=w;
    this.h=h;
    this.couleur=couleur;
    this.Blabel=Blabel;
  }//constr

  String toString() {
    return
      Blabel
      +": "
