Assuming your Car class has a getter method for price  you can simply use  System out println  car get i  getPrice       where i is the index of the element   You can also use  Car c   car get i   System out println  c getPrice       You also need to return totalprice from your function if you need to store it  main  public static void processCar ArrayList lt Car gt  cars       int totalAmount 0      for  int i 0  i lt cars size    i             int totalprice  cars get i  computeCars             totalAmount   totalprice             And change the return type of your function  public int computeCars         int  totalprice  price tax      System out println  name     t   totalprice   t  year        return  totalprice

You should name your list cars instead of car  so that its name matches its content   Then you can simply say cars get 0  getPrice    And if your Car class doesn t have this method yet  you need to create it

You haven t shown your Car type  but assuming you d want the price of the first car  you could use   public static void processCars ArrayList lt Car gt  cars        Car car   cars get 0       System out println car getPrice         Note that I ve changed the name of the list from car to cars - this is a list of cars  not a single car   I ve changed the method name in a similar way    If you only want the method to process a single car  you should change the parameter to be of type Car   public static void processCar Car car    and then call it like this      In the main method processCar cars get 0      If you do leave it as processing the whole list  it would be worth generalizing the parameter to List lt Car gt  - it s unlikely that you ll really require that it s an ArrayList lt Car gt

If you want to get the price of all cars you have to iterate through the array list   public static void processCars ArrayList lt Cars gt  cars       for  Car c   cars           System out println  c getPrice

The list may contain several elements  so the get method takes an argument   the index of the element you want to retrieve  If you want the first one  then it s 0   The list contains Car instances  so you just have to do  Car firstCar   car get 0   String price   firstCar getPrice      or just  String price   car get 0  getPrice      The car variable should be named cars  since it s a list and thus contains several cars   Read the tutorial about collections  And learn to use the javadoc  all the classes and methods are documented
