[Bluej-discuss] Excercise 4.24

[Marko Bajic]

Thnakyou. This my first program. The close method works but I am having 
trouble getting the name of the bidder to work. This is what I have:

  public void close()
    {
        Iterator it = lots.iterator();
        while(it.hasNext()) {
            Lot lot = (Lot) it.next();
             Bid bid = (Bid)it.next();
            if(lot.getHighestBid() == null){
          System.out.println(lot.toString() + "unsold");
        }else{System.out.println(lot.toString()+ "sold" + bid.getBidder());


        }
    }
    }

Please help.

Thankyou
