ArrayList - What?

[krejar]

This is the code:

public void testPopulate (int num)
	{
	   ArrayList<String> great = new ArrayList<String>();
		
		for (int i = 0; i < num; i++)
		{
		   Random gen = new Random();
			int b = 0;
		   b = gen.nextInt(100) + 1;
			great.add("Account: " + (BASE_ACC_NUM + i));
			great.add("Balance: " + b);
			System.out.println(great);
			 
		}
	} // testPopulate

This is the solution:

[Account: 10000, Balance: 6]
[Account: 10000, Balance: 6, Account: 10001, Balance: 83]
[Account: 10000, Balance: 6, Account: 10001, Balance: 83, Account: 10002, Balance: 31]
[Account: 10000, Balance: 6, Account: 10001, Balance: 83, Account: 10002, Balance: 31, Account: 10003, Balance: 74]
[Account: 10000, Balance: 6, Account: 10001, Balance: 83, Account: 10002, Balance: 31, Account: 10003, Balance: 74, Account: 10004, Balance: 72]
[Account: 10000, Balance: 6, Account: 10001, Balance: 83, Account: 10002, Balance: 31, Account: 10003, Balance: 74, Account: 10004, Balance: 72, Account: 10005, Balance: 18]
[Account: 10000, Balance: 6, Account: 10001, Balance: 83, Account: 10002, Balance: 31, Account: 10003, Balance: 74, Account: 10004, Balance: 72, Account: 10005, Balance: 18, Account: 10006, Balance: 39]
[Account: 10000, Balance: 6, Account: 10001, Balance: 83, Account: 10002, Balance: 31, Account: 10003, Balance: 74, Account: 10004, Balance: 72, Account: 10005, Balance: 18, Account: 10006, Balance: 39, Account: 10007, Balance: 4]
[Account: 10000, Balance: 6, Account: 10001, Balance: 83, Account: 10002, Balance: 31, Account: 10003, Balance: 74, Account: 10004, Balance: 72, Account: 10005, Balance: 18, Account: 10006, Balance: 39, Account: 10007, Balance: 4, Account: 10008, Balance: 18]
[Account: 10000, Balance: 6, Account: 10001, Balance: 83, Account: 10002, Balance: 31, Account: 10003, Balance: 74, Account: 10004, Balance: 72, Account: 10005, Balance: 18, Account: 10006, Balance: 39, Account: 10007, Balance: 4, Account: 10008, Balance: 18, Account: 10009, Balance: 31]
Acc#	Name		Balance

[Account: 10000, Balance: 100]
[Account: 10000, Balance: 100, Account: 10001, Balance: 27]
[Account: 10000, Balance: 100, Account: 10001, Balance: 27, Account: 10002, Balance: 4]
[Account: 10000, Balance: 100, Account: 10001, Balance: 27, Account: 10002, Balance: 4, Account: 10003, Balance: 37]
[Account: 10000, Balance: 100, Account: 10001, Balance: 27, Account: 10002, Balance: 4, Account: 10003, Balance: 37, Account: 10004, Balance: 73]
Acc#	Name		Balance

How does that work? I have it doing what I want it to do which is, generate an account number which is incremented and then create a random balance. However, I don't need all of those darn repeats.

Updated not more than 1 minute later:

public void testPopulate (int num)
	{
	   ArrayList<String> great = new ArrayList<String>();
		
		for (int i = 0; i < num; i++)
		{
		   Random gen = new Random();
			int a = 0;
		   a = gen.nextInt(100) + 1;
			great.add("Account: " + (BASE_ACC_NUM + i));
			great.add("Balance: " + a);
		}
		System.out.print(great);
	} // testPopulate

Which gives:

[Account: 10000, Balance: 8, Account: 10001, Balance: 36, Account: 10002, Balance: 59, Account: 10003, Balance: 57, Account: 10004, Balance: 25, Account: 10005, Balance: 70, Account: 10006, Balance: 69, Account: 10007, Balance: 50, Account: 10008, Balance: 85, Account: 10009, Balance: 6]Acc#	Name		Balance

[Account: 10000, Balance: 90, Account: 10001, Balance: 25, Account: 10002, Balance: 95, Account: 10003, Balance: 71, Account: 10004, Balance: 44]Acc#	Name		Balance

System.out.print(great);

is calling my toString()

I just now realized that. Please disregard that.

How does that work?

How does what work? What are you asking?
