Need help with a java project! Library check out/in system

[getshum]

The project is about a library system where we can check in/check out items..... right now I am stuck at returning the book back. So this is what I have so far:

void add(String itemBorrowed)
{
history.add(itemBorrowed);
}

I was just wondering that.. we have a .add method, is there a method that is like .clear or .remove.
I don't think we do .. so any theories and advice would help.
thanks

What sort of thing is history? Its API documentation will tell you what methods it has which you can call.

Well, I forgot to mention this, sorry. It needs to match it against the history when returning the book. So when they return the book, the book is removed from history. I am not really sure how to remove it from history. suggestions?

Looks like "history" is an ArrayList.

Let's you return "Romeo and Juliet", you're going to use:

history.remove("Romeo and Juliet");

and you will remove the first occurrence of "Romeo and Juliet".
