ok here are the two warnings i'm getting


C:\**********>javac -Xlint:unchecked Lab12.java
Lab12.java:34: warning: [unchecked] unchecked call to add(E) as a member of the
raw type java.util.ArrayList
Box.add(obj);
^
Lab12.java:72: warning: [unchecked] unchecked cast
found : java.lang.Object
required: T
T obj = (T)Box.get(i);
^
2 warnings


How am i able to stop these annoying warnings, any help would be great thanks!

The collections classes in Java 5.0 and later are parameterized types. Read more about Java Generics: http://java.sun.com/...rics/index.html. If you don't want to deal with this, change your Java version to 1.4.2. I recommend learning about generics, however, as they are not going to go away in future versions.
