is there a way to have values added to a vector using obj.add(i,random.nextInt(MAX_RAND

I have the following code and for the Vector section, there is no number being added to the Vector array when using 'obj.add(i,random.nextInt(MAX_RAND_NUM));'. This is confirmed by the output of '[]' at the end. The problem seems to start with 'System.out.println("" i ": " obj.get(i));' not printing the value of 'obj.get(i)'.

Output:

FEC - Arrays
==> Using Java Array
0: 12
1: 24
2: 93
3: 52
4: 43
5: 2 <== smallest

7: 19
8: 39
9: 64

The body of the loop below never execute because obj.size is 0.

      {
          smallest = obj.get(i);
        }
    }

Instead, use ARRAY_SIZE.


    for(int i = 0; i < ARRAY_SIZE; i  )
    {
      obj.add(i,random.nextInt(MAX_RAND_NUM));
      if (obj.get(i) < smallest) 
      {
          smallest = obj.get(i);
        }
    }

The size of the Vector is 0 after you initialize it since there are no elements; your loop condition should compare with ARRAY_SIZE instead of obj.size().

for(int i = 0; i < ARRAY_SIZE; i  ){
    // add elements
}
