Question

I am trying to call an overloaded method in my client but it continues to produce an error.

methods:

    public boolean contains(E e) { // begin boolean contains method
        Node temp = head;
        for (int i = 0; i < size; i++) {
            if (e.equals(temp.element)) {
                return true;
            }
            temp = temp.next;
        }
        return false;
    } // end boolean contains method
  
        public int[] contains(E e, int[] b) { // begin boolean overloaded contains method
        Node temp = head;
        int count = 0;
        for (int i = 0; i < size; i++) {
            count = i;
            if (e.equals(temp.element)) {
                b[0] += count;
                return b;
            }
            temp = temp.next;
        }
        b[0] += count;
        return b;
    } // end boolean contains method

Here is the implementation with the errors pointed out:

public static void main(String[] args) {
    int[] array = new int[0];
    MyLinkedList[] list = new MyLinkedList[26];
  
        for(int i = 0 ; i< list.length; i++) {
               list[i] = new MyLinkedList<>();
        }
           int count = 0;
         
        try {
            // Open the file that is the first
            // command line parameter
            FileInputStream fstream = new FileInputStream("random_dictionary.txt");
            // Get the object of DataInputStream
            DataInputStream in = new DataInputStream(fstream);
            BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(in));
            String strLine;
            while ((strLine = br.readLine()) != null) {             
                for (int i = 97; i < 123; i++) {
                    if (strLine.charAt(0) == i) {
                        list[count].add(strLine.toLowerCase());
                        }
                    count ++;
                    }
                }
            }
        catch (Exception e){//Catch exception if any
            System.err.println("Error: " + e.getMessage());
            } // end catch

        try {
            // Open the file that is the first
            // command line parameter
            FileInputStream fstream = new FileInputStream("oliver.txt");
            // Get the object of DataInputStream
            DataInputStream in = new DataInputStream(fstream);
            BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(in));
            String strLine;
            while ((strLine = br.readLine()) != null) {
                 for (int i = 97; i < 123; i++) {
                    if (strLine.charAt(0) == i) {
                        if (list[i - 97].contains(strLine) == true) {
                            wordsFound ++;
                            compsFound += list[i - 97].contains(strLine, array); //ERROR
                        }
                        else {
                            wordsNotFound ++;
                            compsNotFound += list[i - 97].contains(strLine, array); //ERROR
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
        }
      
        catch (Exception e){//Catch exception if any
            System.err.println("Error: " + e.getMessage());
            } // end catch

Any help would be appreciated, Thanks!

Explanation / Answer

The error is: return type of contains(E e, int[] b) is int[] and in the main function you are performing
                         compsFound += list[i - 97].contains(strLine, array); //ERROR

In java you cannot add integer arrays :(

I dont know your need, so cannot help you mare than this

If the error is still there, please let me know. Since I dont have the complete code, debugging the code and having the exacerror is not possible.

Let me know in the comment section what do you observe.
