Character
As a game designer, we have created the following class for a character:
class Character {
public:
Character(string newName, int newLevel, int newExp);
void drawCharacter();
private:
string name; // character’s name
int level; // current level
int experience; // current experience };

CharacterList
We want to store all of the users that are in the game in a CharacterList so that we could run the following code:
CharacterList players1, players2;
players.addPlayer(“Jeff”, 50, 50000);
players2 = players1;
CharacterList players3 = players1;
List as many useful functions as you can to make this CharacterList as efficient as possible.

CharacterList
class CharacterList {
public:
CharacterList(); // default constructor
CharacterList(const CharacterList&); // copy constructor
CharacterList& CharacterList::operator=(CharacterList& other); // controls assignment of CharacterLists
~CharacterList(); // destructor
void copy(CharacterList& other); // copy’s other’s values to this instance
void cleanup(); // cleans up this instance of the class
bool isEmpty(); // is list empty?
int length(); // how big is list?
void addPlayer(string newName, int newLevel, int newExp); // insert a new character
Character listDelete(int position); // deletes character at this location
Character listRetrieve(int position); // returns character at this location
private:
Character* characters; // characters[0…capacity-1] is space allocated for this vector
int size; // characters are store in characters[0…size-1]
int capacity; // current maximum array size
void ensureCapacity(int n); // ensure the list can hold at least n elements
void growArray(int n); // set size of the list to n elements };

6. CharacterList Implemented…
Go ahead, implement it ;)… I don’t have slides to implement it for ya this time 
Each of the top six functions is extremely important… make sure you understand how they work and why they’re there!

What About operator+…
Once again, no slide prepared to give you the answer… 
Try implementing operator+ so that it will return a CharacterList that includes all of the elements in BOTH of the CharacterLists that are being added. You can assume that all characters are unique.

That’s sorta up to you… ask me anything… the only question I have received in the last four or five days was a question about the const keyword:
