| Hi,
I'm going crazy with the proper syntax of Collections.binarySearch():
http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/a...ml#binarySearch(java.util.List,%20T,%20java.util.Comparator)
I've been searching Google and Google Groups for similar questions,
but, while this question has been asked before, the answers don't seem
to apply to my case. This is my code:
import java.util.Collections;
public class Glossary {
final private List<GlossaryTerm> gList;
public Glossary() {
this.gList = new ArrayList<GlossaryTerm>();
}
public void addGlossaryTerm(String original, String comment) {
GlossaryTerm gt = new GlossaryTerm(original, comment);
if (Collections.binarySearch(gList, gt) < 0) {
gList.add(gt);
}
}
}
On compiling, I get this error:
....Glossary.java:107: cannot find symbol
symbol : method
binarySearch(java.util.List<net.localizethat.datamodel.GlossaryTerm>,net.localizethat.datamodel.GlossaryTerm)
location: class java.util.Collections
if (Collections.binarySearch(gList, gt) < 0) {
and I fail to see where is the error. During search, I've visited:
http://mindprod.com/jgloss/binarysearch.html
and I can't see the difference between the example Roedy put there
(BTW, thanks, Roedy!) and my code. Can anyone help me, please?
TIA
