Array list of Objects

[doyer]

  for(int i=0;i<TERMS.size();i++)
  {
      if(TERMS[i].operator.equals("*"))
      {  
         TERMS[i-1].value*= TERMS[i].value;
         TERMS[i].value = 0;
         TERMS[i].operator = "+";
         
         if(TERMS[i].Type.equals("x")) TERMS[i-1].Type = "x";
         
         i = 0;
       }
  }

TERMS is an array list filled with "Term" objects. i don't understand why this doesn't work...this is my first time using arrayList and i don't really know much about it
