Let me rephrase

#

So I run a loop where it calls the same method, but it is implemented by two different classes

#

The method is called 'maakOp'

#

1 Class that implemented it, is supposed to make the String Capitalized. The Second Class that implemented it, is supposed to replace a certain word in the giving String.

Here you can see, I have an ArrayList of 'processes' where the method needs to be called on.

#

On Line 11 it gives me an correct answer (it replaced 'hij' with 'hij/zij')

set resultaat to input and just use that

#

you want the string to be passed through the 2 methods, so the result of the first method needs to be passed to the second method

#

you have resultaat there that's used to recieve the result of the methods, so use that to operate

#

Second iteration (now it capitalizes the string, but the action of the first method is not executed)

yeah that's because you're using input separately each time, so it basically just resets the result from the previous operation

autumn gyro
#

So completely remove the String resultaat variable?

timid salmon
#

no, it's bad practice to reassign to your parameters, so you should be using resultaat

autumn gyro
# 
    public String verwerk (String input){
        String resultaat = input;
        for (OpmaakProces proces : processen){
            resultaat = proces.maakOp(input);
        } return resultaat;
    };

(alternate approach to the same solution)
imagine doing it without the loop

String result1 = processen.get(0).maakOp(input);
String result2 = processen.get(1).maakOp(result1);
String resultaat = result2;
```now we want to make those 2 first lines basically the same except the index, so we can put it in the loop
so change them to reuse the same variable:
```java
String resultaat = processen.get(0).maakOp(input);
resultaat = processen.get(1).maakOp(resultaat);
resultaat = resultaat; // now unnecessary
```separate the declaration
```java
String resultaat;
resultaat = processen.get(0).maakOp(input);
resultaat = processen.get(1).maakOp(resultaat);
```make `resultaat` use `input`:
```java
String resultaat = input;
resultaat = processen.get(0).maakOp(resultaat);
resultaat = processen.get(1).maakOp(resultaat);
```now you can put those near identical lines in the loop

That makes a bunch of sense!

Took a bit but the quarter fell

Appreciate it bud! Thanks a lot @timid salmon
