Hello, need help programming a blackjack game for my computer science class. I have used a cirularlinkedlist to create this game. I have received a null pointer exception error. I think it has to do with my circularlinkedlist class.

import java.util.NoSuchElementException;

public class CircularLinkedList {
    private ListNode last;

    public CircularLinkedList(){
        last = null;
    }

    public boolean isEmpty(){return last==null;}

    public void add(Card c){
        if(isEmpty()){
            last = new ListNode(c,null);
            last.setNext(last); //MUST be an individual statement
        }
        else{
            last.setNext(new ListNode(c,last.getNext()));
            last = last.getNext();//point to the new last
        }
    }
    /*
     * preconditions: integer i (first ListNode is number 1) is where
     *                object o will be added

        if(isEmpty()){//i does not matter
            last = new ListNode(o,null);
            last.setNext(last); 
        }
        if(i==1){// add to beginning
            last.setNext(new ListNode(o,last.getNext()));

Could you give us the error message? The java compiler usually tells you what line a NullPointerException is on, and that could help with debugging.

Also, you should use [code] tags to make your post more readable.

So, your deal method uses Graphics g, which I don't think has been initialized, which I think is why you're getting the NullPointerException.

Besides that, I don't think you're drawing things to the screen correctly. Usually, when you want to draw to the screen, you override the public void paint(Graphics g) method, and the graphics object is passed into the method on it's own, and you don't have to create your own Graphics variable like you do with those draw methods.

how do you initialize Graphics?

mellowmike 9 Light Poster · Answer 3 · 2009-12-17T10:49:18+00:00

I don't even think you can initialize Graphics (not sure on this though). You want to change your draw methods to paint methods. That way they're invoked automatically like in the link that I showed you. All of your painting to the screen should be done in that method, and then you can update it with the repaint() function.
