ArrayLists > arrays

Before attending class on Thursday I had read the ArrayLists document the night before and I quickly realized that ArrayLists are a lot more convenient than arrays. Arrays do not have the ease of modification that ArrayLists do plus one does not have to define a size of the ArrayList once it is created. By learning these ArrayLists and having Dr. Poplawski show us some ArrayLists in loops it will definitely make writing the code for our next homework assignment a lot easier. It will still take quite some time to think about the problem and develop a general idea for how to code it, but with the ability to work with a partner it will make the assignment easier because I have another mind to consult with to try and solve the problem.
