DynamicArray

Ein Array bietet die Möglichkeit, Daten temporär zu speichern. Da jedoch ein Array immer eine feste Grösse hat, können wir keine Elemente nachträglich hinzufügen. Der Code unten bietet eine mögliche Lösung, ein Array dynamisch zu erweitern. Der Code ist jedoch nur als didaktisches Beispiel gedacht, da Java schon genug dynamische Collection-Klassen anbietet. <code=java>public class DynamicArray {

   private Object[] list;
   private int size;
   private int increase;
   public DynamicArray(){
       this(10, 10);
   }
   public DynamicArray(final int initialCapacity){
       this(initialCapacity, 10);
   }
   public DynamicArray(final int initialCapacity, final int expand){
       setList(new Object[initialCapacity]);
       setIncrease(expand);
   }

       if (getSize() == list.length) {
           expand();

   }
