Vector help
Hi,
I'm working on an international relations simulation project and having trouble getting information into vectors.
I've pasted a function below. The function goes through a Vector one element at a time, grabs the object at the index and returns that info (this is working).
Then there is an if statement, which is irrelevent for right now.
Then I try to add the element I just got into a different vector. I check by display the last element in the Vector and I appears to be going into the Vector correctly.
However, when I am finished adding to the second Vector, I display the contents of it and I get the first element (which is added in a different part of the code) and then the last element I added over and over again (The Vector size seems to be correct).
This may be a case of things somehow being overwritting?
I can't figure it out.
I pasted the function below.
Thanks for any help,
Andy
public static War callAllies(State[][] world, War activeWar,
Coordinates state, boolean init) {
Ally tempAl;
Coordinates tempCo = new Coordinates( -1, -1);
for (int counter = 0; counter < world[state.i][state.j].allies.size(); counter++) {
// this is working
tempAl = (Ally) world[state.i][state.j].allies.elementAt(counter);
tempCo.i = tempAl.allyI;
tempCo.j = tempAl.allyJ;
world[tempCo.i][tempCo.j].atWar++;
// check whether to add to the initiators vector or the targets
if (init) {
System.out.println("Adding to A");
activeWar.belligerentsA.addElement(tempCo);
} else {
System.out.println("Adding to B " + tempCo.i + "," + tempCo.j);
// I tried add and addElement and got the same results
//activeWar.belligerentsB.addElement(tempCo);
activeWar.belligerentsB.add(tempCo);
// this displays the correct info
System.out.println("Added " + ((Coordinates) activeWar.belligerentsB.lastElement()).i + "," +
((Coordinates) activeWar.belligerentsB.lastElement()).j);
}
}
// this loop is for debugging, checks to see whats in the Vector - right now it outputs the first element, and then the last element over and over again
for (int k = 0; k < activeWar.belligerentsB.size(); k++) {
tempCo = (Coordinates) activeWar.belligerentsB.elementAt(k);
System.out.println("In B: " +((Coordinates) activeWar.belligerentsB.elementAt(k)).i + "," +
((Coordinates) activeWar.belligerentsB.elementAt(k)).j);
}
return activeWar;
} // end call Allies
