Hey everybody,
i wanna use the array "intArray" in the class eightPuzzleAStarDemo() as initial state but i get a cannot use it.
Does anybody has a hint for me?
Is it because it is not in the same package?
Thank you

        InputStreamReader inputStream = new InputStreamReader(System.in);
        BufferedReader keyboard = new BufferedReader(inputStream);

        System.out.println("Enter eight numbers from 0 to 9");

        String initialstate = keyboard.readLine();
        String delimiter = ",";
        temp = initialstate.split(delimiter);
        int[] intArray = new int[temp.length];

        for (int i = 0; i < temp.length; i++) {

            for (int x = 0; x < temp.length; x++) {

Class EightPuzzleDemo is only an example of use. Make all what you need.

Class EightPuzzleDemo is only an example of use. Make all what you need.

Well,
but I want to have an console conversation, so in my view, there are some additional things I've to add

Place this code in your class Info.
Add needed imports
From your main invoke method eightPuzzleAStarDemo with proper parameter.

static void eightPuzzleAStarDemo(EightPuzzleBoard random1) {// little change
        System.out.println("\nEightPuzzleDemo AStar Search (MisplacedTileHeursitic)-->");
        try {
            Problem problem = new Problem(random1, EightPuzzleFunctionFactory.getActionsFunction(), EightPuzzleFunctionFactory.getResultFunction(), new EightPuzzleGoalTest());
            Search search = new AStarSearch(new GraphSearch(),
                    new MisplacedTilleHeuristicFunction());
            SearchAgent agent = new SearchAgent(problem, search);
            printActions(agent.getActions());
            printInstrumentation(agent.getInstrumentation());
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

    }

    private static void printInstrumentation(Properties properties) {
        Iterator<Object> keys = properties.keySet().iterator();
        while (keys.hasNext()) {
            String key = (String) keys.next();
            String property = properties.getProperty(key);
            System.out.println(key + " : " + property);
        }

    }

    private static void printActions(List<Action> actions) {
        for (int i = 0; i < actions.size(); i++) {
            String action = actions.get(i).toString();
            System.out.println(action);
        }
    }

How to construct random1?
Look at example:

EightPuzzleBoard random1 = new EightPuzzleBoard(new int[]{1, 4, 2, 7, 5, 8, 3, 0, 6});

where you need only put your

int[] intArray

where you need only put your

hey, that doesn't work
I want to have a conversation in the console like:
"but now your arraylist (which should be intArray at the end)
and if I try to do that, I got an error message.
so using the different arrays from the class EightPuzzleDemo is not the problem.
The problem is how to use the intArray from Class input.

Use your

intArray

as a parameter of constructor of class

EightPuzzleBoard

From keybord input same values as in example:

1, 4, 2, 7, 5, 8, 3, 0, 6

Use your as a parameter of constructor of class
From keybord input same values as in example:

mh,
what I did now is the following:
in class EightPuzzleDemo:

static EightPuzzleBoard Input = new EightPuzzleBoard(new int[]{ intArray});
private static void eightPuzzleAStarDemo(EightPuzzleBoard intArray) {
		System.out
				.println("\nEightPuzzleDemo AStar Search (MisplacedTileHeursitic)-->");
		try {
			Problem problem = new Problem(intArray,
					new EightPuzzleSuccessorFunction(),
					new EightPuzzleGoalTest(),
					new MisplacedTilleHeuristicFunction());
			Search search = new AStarSearch(new GraphSearch());
			SearchAgent agent = new SearchAgent(problem, search);
			printActions(agent.getActions());
			printInstrumentation(agent.getInstrumentation());
		} catch (Exception e) {
			e.printStackTrace();
		}
