hi all, i'm new to this forum and java
i'm working on my thesis with "market basket analysis" topic
and my lecturer told me to use java (while i'm new to it)
i have a set of item like this (example)

id|transaction| item
1 1 a
2 1 b
3 1 d
4 2 c
4 2 a
...
etc

where each transaction have many item to buy from market
from that itemset i need that item to be shown like this

[A]
item | count
c 4
f 4
a 3
m 3
p 3
b 3

[A] table is an item that is frequently bought from the store
and from [A] table i need to make a tree
in this case i don't know how to use tree in java so i use array


id pid count
f ~ 4
c f 3
a c 3
m a 2
p m 2
b a 1
m b 1
b f 1
c ~ 1
b c 1
p b 1

i've reached [A] and is almost
but i keep getting this array out of bounds...
any help is really appreciated
here is my code

        System.out.println("ID | PID | Count");

            System.out.println(" " + fptree_id[c] + " |  " + fptree_pid[c] +

    } catch (ClassNotFoundException cE) {
        System.out.println("Class Not Found Exception: "+ cE.toString());
    }
}
}

and here is the result

run:
f : 4
c : 4
p : 3
b : 3
a : 3
m : 3

if((fptree_id[b].equals(item)) && (fptree_pid[b].equals(temp_pid))){

I assume your error happens here.
Check your logic to see what that the value of b is valid. Use some println() to show the value of b and the value of any other variable that could effect how the loop works.

The for loop allows b to be equal to the length of the array. The index of last item in an array is one less.

thanx NormR1
it seems that i tried to access an array with index more than it's array length
now i'm getting a new error "null pointer exception"
it still on the same line
i've tried to print some variable
at this point i added some code

for(b = 0; b < fptree_id.length; b++){
                                System.out.print(b);
                                System.out.print(fptree_id[b]);
                                System.out.println(fptree_pid[b]);
                                //System.out.println(temp_pid + item);
                                
                                if((fptree_id[b].equals(item)) && (fptree_pid[b].equals(temp_pid))){
                                    //fptree_id[b] = item;
                                    //fptree_pid[b] = temp_pid;
                                    count2[b]++;
                                    b = fptree_id.length;
                                    System.out.println(b);
                                }else{
                                    c++;
                                }
                            }

and it's result is

0 f null
1 null null

where

fptree_id[1] = null
item = c
fptree_pid[1] = null
temp_pid = f

i wonder why it isn't break on the first loop where

fptree_id[0] = f
item = c
fptree_pid[0] = null
temp_pid = f

still trying to find how to handle this error though X_X

If the contents of the array is null at the index location, then you have a design or coding error.
Is it possible that some elements in the array can be empty? Then the code must test for it.
If there should NOT be any empty slots then check your logic to see why your leaving the empty slot.

yeah at first the array is empty (or null if u see mine)
and then the array is filled with some value (in this case is item from database and temp_id from fptree_id before)
and it break on the second loop where

(null == c) && (null == f)

when i googling i found many people find null pointer exception and but the case is different...
i'll check my logic again
and thanx for fast reply :)

fptree_pid[a] = null;

What does this line of code at line 115 do?

ah that one is for nothing
fptree_pid stands for parent id in fp-tree
parent id is a node before reaching the item
in my attachment example is
to reach node A it must traverse through C and F
so it's parent id is F while F's parent id is C

i've been searching how to use tree in java for these but i think my knowledge still not there yet
so i plan to make an array like in table


id pid count
c ~ 4
f c 3
a f 3
m a 2
p m 2
b a 1
m b 1
b c 1
p b 1
f ~ 1
b f 1

the code before this has been successful to print like this

[C]
id pid count
c ~ 1
f c 1
a f 1
m a 1
p m 1
c ~ 1
f c 1
a f 1
m a 1
p m 1
b a 1
m b 1
b f 1
c ~ 1
b c 1
p b 1
...
etc

i need [C] table to convert to table so i add some logic so i could mine easier for later...
but the logic when comparing item in database with array that has null value is error in

if((fptree_id.equals(item)) && (fptree_pid.equals(temp_pid))){

i've still got to print it into xml and parse it into html while using a large dataset
it's still a long way to go for my thesis to complete but it stuck here :(

the problem has been solved :)
my problem is still at this logic

if((fptree_id.equals(item)) && (fptree_pid.equals(temp_pid))){

we can't compare null but we can if it isn't the first object
in example

String a = "Thanx God";
String b = null;

if(b.equals(a)){ // return NullPointerException
// some logic here
}
if(a.equals(b)){ // return false or do logic in else
// some logic here
}

thanx to NormR1 as well for keeping up with my task :)
i like this forum and will post something again in the future :D
