Hey guys! :D

My program implements the vector class however it only shows I know how to use the Vector Class, and not how to develop a code for a linked list :( My teacher says I can just do a copy paste job, which is precisely what I did. But for some strange reason it still doesn't work. Does anyone know whats wrong?

Here are the java classes that make the program run.

Here's the main

/**
 * The <code>LinkedList</code> class implements a growable array of 
 * objects. Like an array, it contains components that can be 
 * accessed using an integer index. However, the size of a 
 * <code>LinkedList</code> can grow or shrink as needed to accommodate 
 * adding and removing items after the <code>LinkedList</code> has been created.<p>
 *
 * Each LinkedList tries to optimize storage management by maintaining a 
 * <code>capacity</code> and a <code>capacityIncrement</code>. The 
 * <code>capacity</code> is always at least as large as the LinkedList 
 * size; it is usually larger because as components are added to the 
 * LinkedList, the LinkedList's storage increases in chunks the size of 
 * <code>capacityIncrement</code>. An application can increase the 
 * capacity of a LinkedList before inserting a large number of 
 * components; this reduces the amount of incremental reallocation. <p>
 *
 * As of the Java 2 platform v1.2, this class has been retrofitted to
 * implement List, so that it becomes a part of Java's collection framework.
 * Unlike the new collection implementations, LinkedList is synchronized.<p>
 *
 * The Iterators returned by LinkedList's iterator and listIterator
 * methods are <em>fail-fast</em>: if the LinkedList is structurally modified
 * at any time after the Iterator is created, in any way except through the
 * Iterator's own remove or add methods, the Iterator will throw a
 * ConcurrentModificationException.  Thus, in the face of concurrent
 * modification, the Iterator fails quickly and cleanly, rather than risking
 * arbitrary, non-deterministic behavior at an undetermined time in the future.
 * The Enumerations returned by LinkedList's elements method are <em>not</em>
 * fail-fast.
 *
 * <p>Note that the fail-fast behavior of an iterator cannot be guaranteed
 * as it is, generally speaking, impossible to make any hard guarantees in the
 * presence of unsynchronized concurrent modification.  Fail-fast iterators
 * throw <tt>ConcurrentModificationException</tt> on a best-effort basis. 
 * Therefore, it would be wrong to write a program that depended on this
 * exception for its correctness:  <i>the fail-fast behavior of iterators
 * should be used only to detect bugs.</i><p>

Sorry for double posting. I'm just going to give a more in depth thing explanation of what I said before.

1. My program works fine now. In Orderlist i originally wrote
public class OrderList extends Vector<TreeData>
However using vectors doesn't show me using mastery. I need to have the code for the vectors and just change the variables and such. What I did was I took the source code of vectors and created a new class called "LinkedList".

So I replaced extends Vector<TreeData> with extends LinkedList and it doesn't work anymore. I changed the variables around but still. no can do :(

I hope that cleared things up abit. Thanks for your time.
