Vector capacity after cloning.

[green jack]

After cloning a vector of default capacity , how is the capacity of Vector u decided ?? Also capacity after adding 40 is still 4.



import java.util.*;
import java.util.Enumeration;

class st {

public static void main(String args[]) {

Vector v=new Vector();
Vector u=(Vector)v.clone();

System.out.println("v capacity "+v.capacity()); //prints 10
System.out.println("u capacity "+u.capacity()); //prints 0

u.add(10);
System.out.println("u capacity "+u.capacity()); //prints 1

u.add(20);
System.out.println("u capacity "+u.capacity()); //prints 2

u.add(30);
System.out.println("u capacity "+u.capacity()); //prints 4

u.add(40);
System.out.println("u capacity "+u.capacity()); //prints 4

u.add(50);
System.out.println("u capacity "+u.capacity()); //prints 8

}
}

Welcome to the Ranch

Please indent your code and use the code button, and take note of what Rob told you. The documentation for Vector says the default it capacity 10, increment 0, but what you have there is initial capacity 0, increases by 1 or doubles whichever is the greater, when capacity is exceeded. It must be something to do with cloning; have you read what the clone() method in Vector does? You will find all the details in the src.zip file in your Java™ installation folder. Go through your code with a pencil and paper and count how many elements there are in the Vector and what its capacity are at each stage.
Why are you using Vector and Enumeration in the first place?

Hi,

where can i found src.zip.

[Stephan van Hulst]

Hi Mahi, like Campbell said, it's in your installation folder.

The typical location a Windows system would be something like: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_20\src.zip

You really need to update your JDK

Pfff I'm only 4 releases behind

You mean you have got round to using JDK1.2?
