Comparing integer with array list

[frozenade]

Hello..

I need to compare an integer value with array list.
Code:

        if (year > 1986) {
            Integer[] twelve = {1975, 1976, 1977, 1978, 1979, 1980, 1981, 1982, 1983, 1984, 1985, 1986};
            while (year != twelve) {
                year -= 12;
            }            
        }

The code is very bad.

Would somebody please help me?

Thank you.

Thank you.

An arraylist is a container that holds other objects. Comparing it with an integer does not really make logical sense. You also don't happen to have an arraylist in that code you have there. What you have is an Integer array.
Perhaps you want to test if an integer is present in an array?

oh, I got it.

I could compare it by made a loop to retrieve each of array index then compare with the integer.

Yes, it's true, comparing an integer with arrays is really ridiculous. Forgive me for my bad. :)

Thank you very much for helps.

Best regards.
