Below uses a List of objects of class Route. Class Route has public member =
variables (such as locationid) and public methods (such as get_locationid()=
). The below code is a first attempt at a way to obtain the value of locati=
onid using casting. Question: What is the code to do it a better way.

((Route)objList.get(0)).locationid;
((Route)objList.get(1)).locationid;

The below start of replacement code fails because it skips through the list=
. There wasn't a good reason for me to finish the code! The loop can't even=
 iterate the required number of loops.

        Iterator <Route> it =3D objList.iterator();
=20
        int size =3D objList.size();

        for (int i =3D 0;i < size; i++)
        {
           it.next();
        }

Thank you,
