lastItem = a.length -2;

}

public void insertItem(int newItem, int location){
int i;
System.out.println("the last item "+lastItem);
for(i = lastItem; i < a.length; i--){
a[i + 1] = a[i];
}

a[location] = newItem;

Please first help us by
1) asking an answerable question -- what is the matter with your current code for instance? Are you getting errors? Wrong output? Don't assume that we know anything about the results you're getting, and
2) using code tags: when posting code here, please use code tags so that your code will retain its formatting and thus will be readable -- after all, your goal is to get as many people to read your post and understand your code as possible, right?

To do this, highlight your pasted code (please be sure that it is already formatted when you paste it into the forum; the code tags don't magically format unformatted code) and then press the code button, and your code will have tags.

Another way to do this is to manually place the tags into your code by placing the tag [cod&#101;] above your pasted code and the tag [/cod&#101;] below your pasted code like so:

[code]
  // your code goes here
  // notice how the top and bottom tags are different
[/code]

Luck.
