Templates and small error

Gldnbr (99)
I have this code where I add 5 numbers to an array.
I have a problem with removing.

I'm supposed to remove the first value in the array, but it's not doing that. Also, I have to add a char variable to the array as well, that threw me off since I don't know how to make that work and it's giving definition errors. I have to use templates too.

	numList.add(100);
	numList.add(90);
	numList.add(80);
	numList.add(70);
	numList.add(60);
        numList.add("k");
	numList.remove();
	numList.display();
	system("pause");
	return 0;
}



Can anyone help me here? :O

Thanks!

1) Your remove function as it stands removes the last element of the array. To remove the first you would have to shift everything over.

2) You aren't adding a char variable there, you are adding a string literal. Characters use single quotes: ' ' and string literals use " ".

Do you know how I can shift everything over?

Also, I still don't get k showing up.

	numList.add(60);
	charList.add('k');
	numList.remove();
	numList.display();
	system("pause");
	return 0;
}

Erm, that's because you add it to charList, which you never print out, I think.

Okay, I see that now.
Does anyone know how to delete the first value in an array and shift everything over?
