I am currently taking a computer science class that uses Java as the language of choice. I have no prior experience with Java. We have a homework assignment in which we are supposed to use a boolean array to implement set operations. We have to create a method that inserts an integer into the array, another that deletes an integer element, and several others. I am confused as how to do this with integers, as it is a boolean array. The datr for this class is:
private boolean base[];
The constructor is:
public largeset(int size){ }
We then have to create a method that inserts an integer into the array:
public void insert(int i){ }
And one that deletes the element:
public void delete(int i) { }
I am unsure how to do this using a boolean array. If it were an integer array I would not have any trouble, but I get an error when trying to insert/delete an integer from the boolean array. Can anyone help point me in the right direction? I would prefer advice only, not the actual code, as this is a homework assignment, and I would like to create the code myself so I actually know what I am doing. Thanks.
