Hi, I am having some major problems with a piece of work involving Java.
We have been giving the following:

Code:

static int add(int chain, int value)
// here you need to provide the code that adds a new element to the front of the chain
// my solution has four lines ...
  {
	 
    return NULL; // this line is only here so you can compile and run the code as is.
  } // end of method "add"

We are supposed to simulating the "Heap".

Then later we have this:

Code:

static public void main(String args[])
          {
			
            System.out.println("start of program");
            int myChain = NULL;	// initialise the chain ...
            int values [] = {76, 42, 33, 29, 50};	

            for (int i = 0; i < HEAP_SIZE; i++)
             {
               heapArray[i] = new HeapElement();
             };

			

            for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
				System.out.println(myChain = add(myChain,values[i]));
				
			}


            System.out.println("end of program");
          }

I need to add the values in the "values" Array into specific random points allocated earlier in the program.

But the bit I am confused about is the "add" method, and the way it is used, specifically, what does this mean?

Code:

myChain = add(myChain,values[i]

Thanks.
