...i gave others as a parameter like.....object and string .....but none worked......I see. You were trying blind shoots. "Try object, try string, try boolean..."
Blind shoots are good strategy. I use it myself and it often works.
But sometimes, this way just stucks. My favorite way to get out in that case is to change blind shoots to another strategy, known as RTFM.
what should be the parameter to pass on here???If you re-read my previous reply, you'll find that words List API make a clickable link.
- If you click this link, it will bring you to documentation page.
-- If you read this documentation, you can find a section called Constructor Summary.
--- If you read this section, you'll see that two words List make clickable links.
---- If you click these links, they will bring you to detailed descriptions on what parameters you can pass on here.
Hope this helps. {color:lightgray} // And if it doesn't, then maybe programming is just not for you? {color}
