title: Error: "ArrayList has private access in Arrays" when trying to declare an ArrayList in a class
body: <p>Can't figure out what's going on here. I'm trying to make an ArrayList of "chore" objects. Here's the line of code that is having issues:</p>
  
  <pre><code>static ArrayList&lt;chore&gt; list = new ArrayList&lt;chore&gt;();
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And yes, I have tried taking static off of it and it still doesn't make any difference, as that is the only thing I could think of that could possibly solve the problem. The error is making me think that I'm trying to access a private method but all I'm trying to do is initialize an ArrayList. Am I even using the correct syntax?</p>
