Issue using methods and an array
My problem here is displaying the data using another method. I tried both of the methods but there was no output.
I think that objects in the ArrayList are gone when I made them as parameters on both methods or maybe not.
Please kindly help me with this problem of mine. There are still more options to be filled, I also need some help for it.
public class Student {
private String IDNumber;
private String firstName;
private String middleName;
private String lastName;
private String degree;
private int yearLevel;
public Student() {
this.IDNumber = IDNum;
this.firstName = fName;
this.middleName = mName;
this.lastName = lName;
this.degree = deg;
this.yearLevel = level;
}
public void setIdNumber(String IDNumber) {
this.IDNumber = IDNumber;
}
public String getIdNumber() {
return IDNumber;
}
public void setFirstName(String firstName) {
this.firstName = firstName;
}
public String getFirstName() {
return firstName;
}
public void setMiddleName(String middleName) {
this.middleName = middleName;
}
public String getMiddleName()
{
return middleName;
}
public void setLastName(String lastName) {
this.lastName = lastName;
}
public String getLastName() {
return lastName;
}
public void setDegree(String degree) {
this.degree = degree;
}
public String getDegree() {
return degree;
}
public void setYearLevel(int yearLevel) {
this.yearLevel = yearLevel;
}
public int getYearLevel() {
return yearLevel;
}
/* @Override
public String toString(){
return ("ID Number: "+this.getIdNumber()+
"\nName: "+ this.getFirstName()+
" "+ this.getMiddleName()+
" "+ this.getLastName()+
"\nDegree and YearLevel: "+ this.getDegree() +
" - " + this.getYearLevel());
} */

Move
ArrayList <Student> studentList = new ArrayList <Student>();
from options method to class field.
EDIT:
As you can see, now studentList is not a local variable of
public static void options()
but of the class.
Anyway i edited the args of some methods because you don't need to pass students as argument since now it's a field of the class.
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Scanner;
public class test {
static ArrayList<Student> studentList = new ArrayList<Student>();
public static void main(String[] args) {
menu();
}
public static void menu() {
Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);
int choice = 0;
System.out.print("****STUDENT RECORD SYSTEM****\n\n");
System.out.println("\t MENU ");
System.out.println("[1]ADD STUDENT");
System.out.println("[2]DISPLAY ALL");
System.out.println("[3]DISPLAY SPECIFIC");
System.out.println("[4]UPDATE");
System.out.println("[5]AVERAGE");
System.out.println("[6]EXIT");
System.out.println("?");
choice = in.nextInt();
if (choice == 1) {
options();
}
else if (choice == 2) {
displayAll();
}
else if (choice == 3) {
displaySpecific(student);// here you should ask to the user what studend he want to show - here it continues to give you error
}
}
public static void options() {
Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);
char ans;
String temp;
int total;
do {
System.out.println("TOTAL: ");
total = in.nextInt();
Student[] student = new Student[total];
for (int index = 0; index < student.length; index++) {
student[index] = new Student();
System.out.print("*********STUDENT INFORMATION*********\n\n");
System.out.println("PRESS ENTER");
