}
so this is the code i am working on for a project. i am supposed to do this for the following method:
method "public boolean equals(Object aThat){": returns true if the int elements in list equal the int elements in the dynamic array. Note that if the size of the list and the size of the dynamic array are not the same, this method can return false without checking the equality of the elements.
the question i have is how to use the Object aThat. what exactly is it, and what am i supposed to do to compare it to an array? if it was an array I assume i could just do array.length and compare the two.
