Greeting!!

Can anyone gave me some few pointer about replacing the array implementation? thanks

JAVA doesn't have pointer. You need to use List or ArrayList

Or you could make your own. Thats the beautiful thing about programming: there is no limit (usually) to what you can do. I use my own custom designed DynamicArray called CArray. But creating your own array type is a bit complex, and, in most cases, unecessary. I posted a tutorial on making a basic custom array object, you can find it here. It's not generic, and so it is limited in some aspects, but if you want, I can provide you with the source for the one I use. It's generic, and relatively good at what it does. I also created documentation for it, so when using an IDE like Eclipse, it will tell you what the methods do.

Source (You need both classes, and they need to be inside the package util):
 CArray.java   9.93KB   210 downloads
 CArrayObject.java   1.8KB   220 downloads

He didn't ask for pointers as in programming pointers. He probably meant it as in he wanted some directions, hints, help about replacing the array implementation.

Where Chall's solution is ok for replacing the dynamic arrays in Java (ArrayList, LinkedList, ..), you will always fall back on Java's own arrays [ ], you can't go without.

Sorry for the late reply guys! I was busy with my Data structure assignment, which was dealing with replacing Array implementation.Anyways, thanks for clarifying me.
