Original Post
Everything here is in the context of package M.
Suppose I have a class M, with a member variable of instance ArrayList called C.
So
class M {
ArrayList C;
}
This is legal and will compile.
Now say my class C has a static method called i whose header is
public static void i(C a,C b,ArrayList c);
Naturally, the way I would call this method in the M class is the following line
C.i(this.C.get(i),this.C.get(j),this.C);
Where the first C is a reference to the static class C, and the other C's refer to the member variable ArrayList C. Unfortunately, this will not compile, because the compiler thinks that the first C is also a reference to the member C variable.
So typically, when I want to access something from a package without importing it, I'll do this:
(M.C).i(this.C.get(i),this.C.get(j),this.C);
This doesn't work either, because now I'm referring to a non-static variable in a static context (it thinks the M is the class M, rather than the package M).
So is there any way to call the static i method from class C, and not the missing i method from the ArrayList class that the compiler thinks I'm trying to do? I know this is rather ambiguous, hence the title, so I'll be happy if anyone even understands my problem let alone knows how to fix it (when I say "fix", I mean without requiring me to change variable names). The entirety of the two classes are below.
Pretty much my problem is I know how to distinguish between global class variables and local method variables (this.x vs. x), but I don't know how to distinguish between packages and classes, or classes and member variables. Thanks in advance!
P.S. And yes, I am using only single letter everythings in my code and no documentation. Long story behind the dare.

P.S. And yes, I am using only single letter everythings in my code and no documentation. Long story behind the dare.
