My latest assignment in my java class is to write 2 class files the Set.class and the TestSet.class. In the TestSet, we are to make 2 instances of Set one with a default constructor and the other with a constructor that accepts the max value of the set. The problem i am having is naming each instance of Set. The problem is that the first set gets named corectly (Set1) but then the second gets named Set3. It looks to me that each time i create a instance of Set it exucutes both constructors not just the one it needs. Or atleast this is the only explination i can think of.
On kind of a seperate note, one way around this i thought of is that each of two sets are named Set1 and Set2 in TestSet. So if there was a way to reference the name of the instance in the class that would be perfect. ( i was thinking something like this.Set but the compiler did not like that :)
The reason i need the name is for in the AddElement and DeleteElement methods, i print that the element was added/deleted from wich ever set. Also note that according to the specifacation the only argument i can pass is the max value, so i cant just pass it the name when i create it.
Any ideas or thoughts would help me a lot, i am relitivly new to java, and to programing in general.
