Objects in a set

Question

Hi im writing a program that holds names in a a class like
public class UserInfo
   private Set<String> Names= new HashSet<String>();
    * Constructor for objects of class UserInfo
   public UserInfo(String text)
      Names = text;
    * returns the values of Names to the receiver.
   public Set<String> getNames()
      return Names;
}really basic im having the problems with a second class that holds the instances of this class.
the second class has
public class seach
   Set<objects> nameshold;
   public seach()
       nameshold= new HashSet<object>();     
    * adds the arument to the nameshold Set.
   public void addSite(Object Names)
      nameshold.add(Names);
   public void Seach(String aArument)
      for (object eachObject : nameshold)
         eachObject.contains(aArument);
}it all works but i can not access the objects held by nameshold i guess its because its held in an object so i can't access it like a set
but how would i access the sets in the nameshold object.
this code i just write to show my problem so it may be full of bugs

Answer 1

sorry this is the code i have its for college so no telling me how to but and im using bluej
First class
import java.util.*;
public class Names
   private Set<String> groupNames = new HashSet<String>();
   public Names(String text)
      groupNames = Names.breakWords(text); 
   public Set<String> getgroupNames()
      return groupNames;
   public static Set<String> breakWords(String text)
      String[] Array;
      Set<String> brokenWords = new HashSet<String>();
      Array = text.split(" ");
      for (String eachWord : Array)
         brokenWords.add(eachWord);
      return brokenWords;
}second class
import java.util.*;
public class seacher
   Set<Object> scannedNames;
   public seacher()
       scannedNames = new HashSet<Object>();     
   public void addGroup(Object groupNames)
      scannedNames.add(groupNames);
   public void searchFor(String aArument)
      for ( Object eachGroup : scannedNames)
         //eachGroup.contains("dan");                 
}and i am using Object here i could use names instead but im not shore if that would make a differance
this part is where im having problems //eachGroup.contains("Luke"); im trying to break down the group objects of names so i can test it
one at a time so each object i can check if it holds the name "dan"
when i run this code i have 2 instances of names called test1 and test 2 an instace of seacher called seach that hold both test1 and test2
i what to check the value that are held in test1 and test2 to so see if it holds the value dan or any value. both test1 and 2 hold "pual", "dan", "mark"
i do not know what they will hold in the end but for testing i use them.
