For those who are reading this message.I'm a beginners at this java assignment.I'm struggling at understanding it.If anyones willing to solve the code and to explain how you solved it.Im all ears and eyes.I looked all over websites and it is hard to find someone who is willing to teach me how to solve this code.I made a ArrayListExample and a Boxclass.I get some errors in the code.Someone taught me at the college and they were too in hurry to explain.If you have the time i have the time to look this over and to learn it.

Please put your code in the code brackets so that we can see it better.

Please place code between code tags (see BBcodes below for more info). And you didn't explain what problems you were having and whether they were, compiler problems, exceptions being thrown, or logic problems.

And do provide attachments or images. We won't look at them.

Regards,
Jim
