so now i have



public int findContactIndex(String firstName, String secondName)
{
int index = 0;
boolean found = false;
while(index<contactList.size() && !found)...

Im trying to work on the finding contact first. Also I dont know how to return an array list, ive been trying to understand it forages now but cant get my head around it. What annoys me about this is...

private int findAccount(String accountNumber)
{
int index = 0;
boolean found = false;
while(index < accounts.size()...

for (Contact contact : contactList) {

or
2. Searching through the array list only for...

Ok, so im struggling to find a 'contact' and also deleting a 'contact' in my array list. Can anyone tell me how i can do this? Thanks
