Good Afternoon,

Can someone help me with this program which is an assignment for a class. I'm new to C++ its my fist course in computer science. The assignment details are:

1. The function removeAt of the class arrayListType removes an element from the list by shifting the elements of the list. However, if the element to be removed is at the beginning of the list and the list is fairly large it could take a lot of computer time. Because the list elements are in no particular order, you could simply remove the element by swapping the last element of the list with the item to be removed and reducing the length of the list. Rewrite the definition of the function removeAt using this techniue. Use the class unorderedArrayListType to test your function.

2. The function remove of the class arrayListType removes only the first occurence of an element. Add the function removeAll, as an abstract function, to the class arrayListType that would remove all occurence of a given element. Also, write the definition of the function removeAll, in the class unorderedArrayListType, and a program to test this function.

3. Add the function min, as an abstract function, to the class arrayListType to return the smallest element of the list. Also, write the definition of the function min, in the class unorderedArrayListType, and a program to test this function.

4. Add the function max, as an abstract function, to the class arrayListType to return the largest element of the list. Also, write the definition of the function max, in the class unorderedArrayListType, and a program to test this function.

Thanks in advance for the support and guidelines to make the program run

I hate to tell you this, but you're going to have to narrow the code down dramatically and present questions about specific sections because someone is not going to go through and check all those steps for you.

Did you figure it out?

Thank you everyone for the help, I already solved the problem.
