Ah i see. I wish my teacher was able to explain it like this. He just seems to take my questions as a personal attack.

Thanks heaps guys

Hey Everyone,

I hope this is technical enough for the Techoff part off the forum.

I just had an exam on OOP which is based on Java. The exam had a question as follows:

char input = (char)System.in.read();
Why is the (char) required before the System.in.read()?

my answer is: To encapsulate the object that is returned by System.in.read() into a type that the program can understand.

I got this question wrong. He couldn't tell me why i got it wrong but i did.

Am i wrong? This teacher seems so uncertain about his subject i would really like a second opinion.

Thanks for any input,

I have done as you have suggested Raj, i have tried to make a synchronized IList<T>. Can someone read this over for me?
