POSearching through an ArrayList of Strings to find text

Body
copied!<p>This is what I have so far but I don't now what to do next. The question is as follows (sorry the coding is not all appearing in one box): Implement a method</p> <pre><code>public void search (String searchString) { } </code></pre> <p>to iterate through the notes ArrayList until it finds a note that contains the searchString. It should then print either the item found or the message "String not found". When testing check for a String that is in the list and for one that isn't.</p> <p>Code:</p> <pre><code>import java.util.ArrayList; import java.util.Iterator; /** * A class to maintain an arbitrarily long list of notes. * Notes are numbered for external reference by a human user. * In this version, note numbers start at 0. * * @author David J. Barnes and Michael Kolling. * @version 2008.03.30 */ public class Notebook { // Storage for an arbitrary number of notes. private ArrayList<String> notes; /** * Perform any initialization that is required for the * notebook. */ public Notebook() { notes = new ArrayList<String>(); } /** * Store a new note into the notebook. * @param note The note to be stored. */ public void storeNote(String note) { notes.add(note); } /** * @return The number of notes currently in the notebook. */ public int numberOfNotes() { return notes.size(); } /** * Show a note. * @param noteNumber The number of the note to be shown. */ public void showNote(int noteNumber) { if(noteNumber < 0) { // This is not a valid note number, so do nothing. System.out.println("invalid index given"); } else if(noteNumber < numberOfNotes()) { // This is a valid note number, so we can print it. System.out.println(notes.get(noteNumber)); } else { System.out.println("there are fewer items in the notebook than that"); // This is not a valid note number, so do nothing. } } public void removeNote(int noteNumber) { if(noteNumber < 0) { // This is not a valid note number, so do nothing. System.out.println("invalid index given"); } else if(noteNumber < numberOfNotes()) { // This is a valid note number. notes.remove(noteNumber); } else { System.out.println("there are fewer items in the notebook than that"); // This is not a valid note number, so do nothing. } } public void multiplesOfFive() { int i = 10; while(i < 100) { System.out.println(i); i = i + 5; } } public int sum(int a, int b) { int index = a; int result = 0; while(index <= b) { result = result + index; index = index + 1; } return result; } public int product(int a, int b) { int index = a; int result = 1; while(index <= b) { result = result * index; index = index + 1; } return result; } public boolean isPrime (int n) { if (n<=1)return false; if (n==2) return true; for (int i = 2;i<=n-1;i++) { if (n%i==0)return false; } return true; } } </code></pre>
