ArrayList methods are not working

I am learning about Java and I'm stuck with this ArrayList problem: the compiler give me error when I try to use simple methods, like add. Here is the code:

public class ArrayList {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        ArrayList list = new ArrayList();
        list.add("Value A");
        list.add("Value B");
        list.add("Value C");
    }
}

The method is defined in the Javadoc.

It should be really simple to do it, but I really don't know what I'm doing wrong here.

Solution

  • You have created your own ArrayList class and aren't using the built-in Java class. You haven't defined add.
