Generic array casting java?
I have an assignment where we are to create a LinkedList class from scratch, implementing a given interface. This interface gives us the method public E[] toArray()
I cannot get the casting to work, when I test in JUnit using Integer objects the cast fails.
I initialize my array as E[] array = (E[]) new Object[howManyINeed]
How do I get this to work?
3 AnswersProgramming & Design4 years agoHandgun laws under 21 in Virginia?
As far as I can tell, by Virginia law it is totally legal for someone over 18 but under 21 (myself) to purchase a handgun as long as it is through a private party and not a licensed dealer. I just would like confirmation before I actually do it.

5 AnswersDesktops10 years agoHow can I get 10k a year in student loans with no credit and no cosigner? Or can I?
Well, I was all set to go to college til at the last minute my dad decided it wasn't his responsibility to chip in a dime, and, on top of that, he said he won't cosign ANYTHING. My aid letter gives me a few low level federal loans, but I still have a 10k gap to fill, which makes sense because my EFC is 10k. Plus, he makes way too much money for me to qualify for any "need" based assistance. Any ideas?
1 AnswerFinancial Aid1 decade agoIs there a way I can join the Army, go to college, get my bachelor's degree, and then serve, that's not ROTC?
I am expecting to attend Benedictine University in the fall, and play football for them. However, I also want to join the Army. Is there a way to join the Army, get my bachelor's degree and then serve, that isn't ROTC? I want to join the Army anyways, and them paying for college doesn't hurt either!

1 AnswerSoftware1 decade agoHow to get NEC Versa M100 to recognize hard drive?
I have an NEC Versa M100 and when I turn it on, it tells me there is no boot device and to press F1 to go to "Auto Start". I do so and It brings me to a sort of modified BIOS. It says "Hard Drive 1 Not Installed" The options are "BIOS Defined Type", "Custom Defined Type", and "Not Installed". I pulled the hard drive and it gives me the number of heads, cylinders and sectors per track, but not Precomp or Landing Zone, which are two other numbers that it needs. Without them it still won't boot. Plus, if I change it from "Not Installed" to anything and restart it and go back into the Auto Start it tells me that the settings in Auto Start and the settings detected by POST are different and it marks the ones that are different and it is Hard Drive 1 and it says it should be "Not Installed". I looked at the BIOS Defined types and there are 44 of them, and only 2 with 16 heads like my HD, and the Precomp and Landing Zone on both of them was -1. I tried it and it still doesn't work. So, does anyone know how to fix this, or is there an Autodetect somewhere? I have another HD I could use, but I couldn't get it to pick it up either. I can boot off of the floppy drive though. I got into DOS from the DOS 6.0 Upgrade floppy but it said it didn't detect any HD. So, any ideas?

1 AnswerVideo & Online Games1 decade agoWhich is mathematically more random?
I am creating a password generator program and was wondering which was more random, or if they're the same.
I randomly choose 1 or 0, if 1 it randomly picks a number between 1 and 26, that corresponds with a letter, if 0 it randomly picks a number between 1 and 10 that corresponds with a number 0-9.
Or I randomly choose a number between 1 and 36, with 1-26 being letters and 27-36 being a number.

I've heard all of the "If you're making a zoo simulation, Zoo would be the class and Monkey would be an object of the class". That doesn't explain how you would practically use a class. How many people actually make zoo simulations? I would like a practical example of a class.
8 AnswersProgramming & Design1 decade agoIf you don't like Obama does that make you racist?
My friends and I were having a discussion about why we don't like Obama. These African American girls who were behind us turned around and said "You don't like Obama? You racist!" We then got into a heated argument. It seemed that the only reason they liked him was for his color. We, being my friends and I, started talking about his ill planned out political policies and such, with myself spearheading the argument. Then, one of the girls said "You don't like Obama? I'm gonna shoot your family!", to which I replied "But wait, you can't, because Obama's going to ban guns!" My friends got a laugh out of that and the girls eventually left. So I pose this question: if you don't like Obama, does that mean you are racist?
