size of vector

[Puneet N Vyas]

what defines the size of the vector,i get two conflicting o/p by the following code,can any one tell me.
thanks for support

  
String items[] = {"a","b","c","d","e","f"};
Vector Candidate3=new Vector();
 for(int ii=0,kk=0; ii<6; ii++)
{
for(int jj=0;jj<6;jj++,kk++)
{
 
 for(int ll=0;ll<6;kk++,ll++)
 {
 Candidate3.add(items[ii]+" "+items[jj]+items[ll]);
 }
    
    }
    
   }
//displaying vector contents
for (int i = 0; i < len1; ++i) 
{
  
  String s1=(String)Candidate3.get(i);
  
   System.out.println(s1);
 int ij=  Candidate3.indexOf(s1);
  System.out.println(ij);
}
//this gives size of vector as 216,where as it should give 72 as there are //72 index in the vector
System.out.println("length of  vector Candidate 3 is"+Candidate3.size());
 
Vector v11=new Vector();
 v11.add("pfg");
 v11.add("dfg");
//this gives size of vector as 2
System.out.println("length of  vector v11:"+v11.size());

Why should it return 72? You're adding 216 elements to the vector.

[Gavin Tranter]

In total agreement with Ulf, 216 elements should be added.

You could try to count the number of times you loop :

int total = 0;
for(int ii=0,kk=0; ii<6; ii++)
{
for(int jj=0;jj<6;jj++,kk++)
{
for(int ll=0;ll<6;kk++,ll++,total++)
{
Candidate3.add(items[ii]+" "+items[jj]+items[ll]);
}
}
}
System.out.println("Looped " + total + " times");
