newArray

public void newArray(int size)

Description copied from class: DynamicArray

Allocates a new, empty array of the given size and assign it to the arrayObject property. It is assumed that subclasses will also set it to a variable of the correct class (e.g. char[]) for ease of access as well. Copying of existing contents is Dynamic by this superclass. Your code should look something like this:

 public abstract void newArray(int size) {
     arrayObject = array = new Foo[size];
 }
