Question
Chapter 13, Problem 5AW
Program Plan Intro
Retrieving the selected item:
- The user can retrieve the selected item either by “getSelectedValue” method or “getSelectedIndex” method.
- The “getSelectedValue” method is used to return a reference to the item that is currently selected.
- The “getSelectedIndex” method is used to determine which item in a list is currently selected.
Example:
The example for “getSelectedIndex” method:
//create an array "fruit" and add the items
String[] fruit = {"Apple", "Orange", "Bananas", "Grape"};
//create a " JComboBox " named "fruitList".
JComboBox fruitList = new JComboBox (fruit);
//declare the integer variable
int x;
//determine the item in a list
x = fruitList.getSelectedIndex ();
- Initially declare an array “fruit” and add the items to the list.
- The “fruitList” is a “JComboBox” object and pass an array of “String” objects to the “JComboBox” constructor.
- Declare the “x” variable and determine the item in a list by calling “getSelectedIndex” method.

We will display their names to them on the screen, but in the background, we will keep track of them based on their number. This function should take 1 argument, an integer (either 0 or 1) representing the player and should return the opposite integer (1 if 0 is entered and 0 if 1 is entered). This is a simple function, but it will make our code cleaner later. Use your constants! Using Thonnyarrow_forward
