public List coursesToSelec;

/* public ListTest(){
this.coursesToSelect = new ArrayList();
}

coursesToSelect = new ArrayList(); //把上面的内容注释掉，换成这段代码为什么不行？

public void addCourse(){
    Course cr1 = new Course("离散数学",1);
    coursesToSelect.add(cr1);
    Course temp = (Course) coursesToSelect.get(0);
    System.out.println(temp.name+" "+temp.number);

Answer 1

/* public ListTest(){
this.coursesToSelect = new ArrayList();
}

换成这样子么？如果是下面这样子，是可以的啊
public List coursesToSelec = = new ArrayList();
