I have a program which requires me to calculate a total price for a flight booking and I need to multiply that total by the number of passengers in an array list..
How do I do this if the array list that is being created is empty?
Or do I need to set a number on the number of elements in the array list?
Hope someone can help thanks.

ArrayList
is a collection in Java that will automatically expand as you add elements to it.
Here's a simple example of how to compute the total revenue from a set ticket price:
BigDecimal ticketPrice = new BigDecimal("500.00");
List<Passenger> list = new ArrayList<>();
list.add(new Passenger(...);
list.add(new Passenger(...);
...
BigDecimal totalPrice = ticketPrice.multiply(new BigDecimal(list.size()));
