Can you describe your approach to solving the problem?
What techniques are you using to keep the user from editing the objects a second time?

Can you more clearly explain your question. Are you referring on another thread?

I'm supposed to use Deep and Shallow cloning to accomplish this. I am not supposed to edit Main() and I don't see any effect after putting my deep cloning method. Am I going about this the wrong way or missing something?

How can I say anything without knowing what you have done.

Ok. But why are you start another thread is you don't have a new question to ask. Please don't do that next time, don't ask the same question in multiple sub-forums. Choose the correct one and stick with that.
