Can't add to an ArrayList “misplaced construct(s)”

Question

I have a simple arraylist set up, but I can\'t seem to add objects to it.

import java.util.ArrayList;


public class Inventory {

ArrayList inventory = new A         


        

Answer 1

Your "adding" statements are just "in the air": not inside one method or constructor.

Wrap in inside one like for instance:

public class Inventory {

   private List inventory = new ArrayList();  //prefer interface here ;)

   public Inventory(){   //statements wrap into this constructor
      inventory.add("Sword");
      inventory.add("Potion");
      inventory.add("Shield");
   }
}
