I am having trouble creating an arraylist that either stores another arraylist or multiple objects in the same position.
The program's main is provided and asks me to rely on three classes I created, passing into them (Person(string name, int weight), Elevator(int capacity), ElevatorCollection(int [caps]).
The driver program calls a getElevator(int pos) method from ElevatorCollectioion. I seem to having problems creating an arrayList or something to hold multiple Person objects at each position.
I tried:
ArrayList<Person> building = new ArrayList<Person>
ArrayList<building> elevColl = new ArrayList<Person>
Obviously doesn't work because building is not a type.
The task is to add people with a .add method which automatically adds them into a proper elevator based on person's weight >= capacity: updating NumPeople, the capacity of each elevator, and adding them into some type of collection which holds multiple objects of Person at each pos. The main then s.o.println a variable which stores this collection, asking me I think to overload a toString method so it prints each elevator with every person in said elevator on different lines.
I have figured out the majority of everything besides the above.
Am I going about this wrong?
I am grateful for any help, I've been working on this for days
