Vector element nulls

[timmbo]

Hi All,

How would I check a vector that has (some) null elements. My vector is returning the information I need. If the element is null, I have to do some specific coding. My current code is returning "Invalid left hand side of assignment." error.
So, how would I check this?

My current code is:

...
for(int i = 0;accounts.size()>1;i++) {
   String acct = (String)accounts.elementAt(i);
   System.out.println("One");
   System.out.println("acct... " + acct);
   Vector tmpRecs = (Vector)wires.get(acct);
   System.out.println("Two");
   System.out.println(tmpRecs);	
   System.out.println("Three");
   if(tmpRecs.elementAt(i) = null) {<----- error...
      System.out.println(&quot;Four (null)...&quot;);
   }
}
...

If you need to see a bigger picture of my code, please let me know.

TIA,
Tim

You need to use == (double equal sign) when comparing an object to null.

Thanks for the quick reply. I totally missed that...
