Hey guys, im new to java and im working on a lil project here trying to make my code more clean. So im trying to make a vehicle asigned to a station. Right now i just have an class Vehicle and a class Van that extends vehicle. I also have created Station A-E with a builder. Im sure its super easy for you pros but i just cant seem to get it to work. I want to be able to assign my van to station A, whats the code to do that? I have a addvehicle(Vehicle vehicle){vehicles.add(vehicle) !! now and i've also tried to get stationA.addvehicle(Van) to work but im guessing its not the correct way to do it? Any tips appreciated ! Thanks

Hey, @fierce sail!
Please remember to /close this post once your question has been answered!

Your idea with addVehicle and getVehicle is correct
If you try to assign Vehicle to Station, you have to say that Station is some Vehicle. What's, of course, very strange and incorrect.
Station has to store vehicles, not be vehicle.

Thats a more correct to say it, my bad. Thats what im trying to do, but i cant figure out the correct what to store a vehicle in a station
dusty scarab
You can use List, or Set, or whatever other Collection, I guess
It depends on your needs

Okay i will try some more, i've been trying to add but its clear to me now that ofc i need to store and not assign. Thanks

Hmmm im still stuck. I have
Station stationA = new StationBuilder() .stationNumber("A") .isFree(true) .build();
But how do i store my Vehicle in stationA ?
I have Vehicle van = new Van();
Before i just had Vehicle.addVehicle(van); And it stored it in the List<Vehicle>, but i want one vehicle in each station, and not all vehicles in a list if you get me

Just replace List with common Vehicle variable and add setVehicle method I guess.
Or just add check to your addVehicle method, if there's already a vehicle at the station
