Number of comparisons

Ok, can anyone point out the exact location(s) of my errors. I'm getting the appropriate common elements, but the right number of comparisons.


public class Test {


public static void main(String[] args) {

Integer[] collection1 = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 16};
Integer[] collection2 = {1, 2, 3, 4, 16, 21};
Integer[] collection3 = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8};
Integer[] collection4 = {1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 21};
Object[] storeAllArray = {collection1, collection2, collection3};
System.out.println(CommonElements.findCommonElements(storeAllArray));
System.out.println("Comparison: " + CommonElements.getComparisons());



}
}

import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.HashSet;
import java.util.Set;


public class CommonElements {

public static int comparisons = 0;
public static Object[] collections;
public static Object[] common = new Comparable[20];
public int count = 0;

public static int getComparisons()
{
return comparisons;
}
public void setComparisons(int comparisons)
{
CommonElements.comparisons = comparisons;
}
public static Comparable<?> getNumber()
{
return getNumber();
}

public static int getIndexOfLowest(Object[] collections)
{
int indexOfLowest = 0;
int size = 0;
for(int i = 0; i < collections.length; i++)
{
Arrays.sort((Comparable[])collections[i]);
size = ((Comparable[])collections[i]).length - 1;
if(size < ((Comparable[])collections[indexOfLowest]).length)
{
indexOfLowest = i;
}
}
System.out.println("The common elements in the arrays are: " );
return indexOfLowest;
}


public static Comparable[] findCommonElements(Object[] collections)
{
int number = getIndexOfLowest(collections);
Set<Object> commonElements = new HashSet<Object>();
for(int i = 0; i < collections.length; i++)
{
Set<Object> hashSet = new HashSet<Object>(Arrays.asList(collections[number]));
comparisons++;
if(hashSet.contains(collections[i]))
{
commonElements.add(collections[i]);
}
}
Object[] collection = commonElements.toArray(new Object[0]);
System.out.println(Arrays.deepToString(collection));
return (Comparable[]) common;
}


}

Not the right number of comparisons

Sorry for the formatting, posting from my phone.

Please edit the post and wrap the code in code tags.

Can you explain what the problem is? Post the program's output and add some comments saying what is wrong with it and show what it should be,
