I want to set the number of values in an arraylist to a variable

Use a counter starting at zero and add one to it every time you add a value to the arraylist.

The ArrayList class has a method that will tell you the size/number of values in the ArrayList.

it says the bag is full,

Where is the message: "bag is full"? I can not find it.

Add some println statements to the code to show the value of bagSpace every time it changes so you will know what the program is doing.

My mistake. I meant to say that the message is "can hold more" which can be found in my addingCandyTest() method. I am really just having a lot of trouble with the CantHoldAnyMore() Method. How would I set the bagspace to reflect the amount of candy added to the bad in the addingCandyTest()?

Did you look at using the ArrayList method that gives the number of objects it contains?

Start it at 0 and add one to it every time something was added.

Are you sure that is the correct usage of the bagSpace variable?
Why would its value be passed in the constructor?
