Hi! I'm a newbie at java and I need help with an inventory program for a school project. I planned the inventory program for the user to keep track of their inventory in MMORPGs. I want the user to be able to add, delete, update, sort the items, also be able to view the items that's currently in the program, and a log of whenever an item has been added, deleted, or updated. I understand my program is extremely messy, so any tips on making it more efficient would be appreciated. I'm having trouble figuring out how to update the price and amount sold for an item in the arraylist. Also every time I try to add an item, it always skips over adding notes, and when I try to sort, it always stops working, how can I fix these problems? Lastly, how can I log all the actions done to the items? Thank you in advance! If you could refer me to any references I should read up to understand java better, I would really appreciate it. I haven't started on working on the output yet, the teacher has given us a template but I have yet to work with it since I wanted to figure how to log the actions done first.
