Hey again. Trying to add elements to a DList, this happens when I try to add the second car (500, Porsche). The whole insert algorithm sucks and am strongly considering trying to figure out a better one.

This is what shows up in the console:

This is contents of the file called "list" that I am putting in after the prompt

600 Ferarri Italia
100 Porsche Cayman RS
200 Lamborghini Gallardo TT

150 Ford Mustang GT

this might help :

public void addAfter(DNode v, DNode z) 
	{
		DNode w = getNext(v);	// may throw an IllegalArgumentException
		z.setPrev(v);
		z.setNext(w);
//		w.setPrev(z); //comment this here
	  	v.setNext(z);
	  	size++;
	}

my guess as to why that corrects the error is most likely due to code here in your insert(DNode v) method:

DNode w = v.getNext();
			v.setElement(vehic);
			v.setNext(null);
			v.setPrev(w);
			list.addAfter(v, v);
			count++;

Thanks for the speedy reply. We must not make any changes to anything but OrderedList and TestOrderedList, unfortunately. So commenting that out would not be acceptable and would lead to a deduction on my points. Here is my updated error code:

This is contents of the file called "list" that I am putting in after the prompt

1000 BMW M
300 Mercedes CLS
600 Ferarri Italia
100 Porsche Cayman RS
200 Lamborghini Gallardo TT
2500 Mazda Miata
50 Chevrolet Camaro SS
150 Ford Mustang GT

Also, I can't get my display() method to work correctly and it needs a re-code. What information would help get me going on that?

try this in the dlist class:

public void addAfter(DNode v, DNode z) 
	{
		DNode w = getNext(v);	// may throw an IllegalArgumentException
		z.setPrev(v);
		z.setNext(w);
		//w.setPrev(z);
	  	v.setNext(z);
	  	size++;
	}

Check out my post above ;)

Can't modify DList or DNode classes. I'll try it just to see what happens though.


This may help, let w be the node following v

Here is the result in the console. How do I get them to display strings and not memory locations? Do I need a toString() method? I tried to make some in various places but to no avail.

oops sorry read like an idiot :)

well you could try this:

public void display()
	{
		if(count==1) {
                      System.out.println(dlist.getFirst().element);//this count ==1 checks if its the first time if we dont do this null will be shown for the first input from file which is the BMW
                 } else {
		System.out.println(dlist.getNext(dnode).element);
                 }
	}

Check out what I did as you must have been posting that above.

public void display()
	{
		System.out.println(dlist.toString());
	}

And in DList, I added the toString() method:

public String toString()
	{
		String s = "";
		DNode v = header.getNext();
		while (v != trailer)
		{
			s += v.getElement();
			v = v.getNext();
			if (v != trailer)
				s += ",";
		}
		s += "";
		return s;
	}
