JavaScript - Arraylist Help

I just have a question regarding Array Lists;

I have this array list
(Holding is a class)

ArrayList<Holding> hold = new ArrayList<Holding>();

and in the holding class there is a method that has status;

if status says 'L' I have to print information about that item.

As far as array List is concerned I know how to do that.

But the difficult part is

i need to return it through a specific method()

public Holding[] getCurrentHolding()

Can some one please give me some pointers on how to go about this?

Hey Everybody,

It has been a few years since I have dealt with coding in JavaScript. I will admit up-front that this is for a part of homework that I have been stuck on for about 2 weeks. I will apologize in advance for the length of this. The first portion is showing what I'm going for. The second portion is what I'm currently wanting help with. Here is what is happening:

I'm in a Human Computer Interaction class and my group is developing a "Group Randomizer" web page. I figured using an ArrayList would be easiest rather than coding a database. My group is using Weebly.com to do our site.

Things that the site will do (trying to keep this aspect to a single web page):
1) Add/Remove names to/from an ArrayList that is hidden in the background
2) Click a button to generate a randomized order of the ArrayList
3) Be able to split the list with line-breaks based on a number for "group size".

Example:

(adding names)
name[0]=student1
name[1]=student2
name[2]=student3
...
...
...

Number of Groups: [User Input] ----> 3
(press generate button)

(resulting random output)
Group1:
student2
student5

Group2:
student1
student4

Group3:
student3
student6


Then being able to remove the names as needed too. Now, I AM NOT looking for somebody to do all of this for me. What I am wanting at this time is help figuring out how to produce a randomized order output from an ArrayList such as follows:

(temporary ArrayList)
student[0]=student1
student[1]=student2
student[2]=student3
...
...
...

(generate output)
student4
student2
student7
student1
student5
...
...
...


Any help with that portion would be helpful.

Here are my Two classes and a tester. I need help outputting a sub-list of all the Highly Paid employees.


public class Pay2
{

private String name;
private char gender;
private double hours;
private double payRate;


/**
* Constructor for objects of class Pay
*/
public Pay2(String n, char g, double h, double r)
{
// initialise instance variables
name = n;
gender = g;
hours = h;
payRate = r;
}

/**
* An example of a method - replace this comment with your own
*
* @param y a sample parameter for a method
* @return the sum of x and y
*/
public double computeGrossPay ()
{
return hours * payRate;
}

public char getGender ()
{
return gender;
}

public double getRate ()
{
return payRate;
}


}

Any feedback will help.
