Hi I am trying to implement a class that inherits from AbstractCollection, the abstract class, but I don't know how to "add" to the collection. There is no actual container like array or vector provided in AbstractCollection class, so how do I implement an "add" or "remove" to a class that extends from AbstractCollection?
Thanks!

public abstract class AbstractCollection{
//constructor
AbstractCollection(){

}
//you can override methods here
}
public class Collection extends AbstractCollection{

//constructor
blah, blah
//you want to change base class method here
...

//your class's own method like add(), remove()
void add(...){
}
void remove(...){

}
}
Is this answer your question?
read "thinking in java", very good book.

Hi, I was thinking more of the physical implementation of a class that overrides the add/remove methods in AbstractCollection. For instance, a queue that goes like a, b, d, e, f, and you wish to "add" a c so that as a whole the queue becomes a, b, c, d, e, f. How do you access the inner container within AbstractCollection to add/remove?
Thanks!
