So I making a dynamic array that mimic a arraylist, I got the insertAt operation, but now I making an add method. I can call the insert at, but add method would add at the end of the array. I wonder what should be done, here what I have so far:

//insert value at specific index and shift everything from that index to the right
    public void insertAt(int index, int value) 
    {
    	if ((index<0)||(index>size))
    		throw new IndexOutOfBoundsException("Index: " + index + ", Size: " + size);
    	else
    	{
    		int theLength = storage.length;
    		int temp=0;
    		int j=theLength;
    		ensureCapacity(size+1);
    		for(int i = (theLength-1);i != index;i--)
    		{
    			temp = storage[i];
    			storage[j] = temp;
    			j--;
    			
    		}
    		storage[index] = value;
    	}
    	
    }

I was thinking if I get the size of the array, and look for the length, then I get length -1 to have the last index, and parse it thru the parameter.

//add value to the end of array
    public void add(int value) 
    {	
    	int endPosition = size;
    	insertAt(endPosition, value);
    }

Without seeing your whole code, it's hard to tell what would happen.

Try it and see what happens. If you still have trouble, reply to this thread with what the problem is.

Here is everything: My problem is I am unsure what to put in the parameter of insertAt when I call it from the add method.

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Arrays;

    private final int GROW_FACTOR = 2;
  
    public DynamicArrayOfInts() 
    {
      storage = new int[INITIAL_CAPACITY]; 
      size = 0;
    }
    
    //check for out of bound exception
    private void rangeCheck(int index)
    { 
    	if((index < 0)||(index == size)||(index > size))
    	{
      	  throw new IndexOutOfBoundsException("Index: " + index + ", Size: " + size);
    	}
    	else
    	{
    		System.out.println("Array is inbound");
    	}
    }  
    
    //make sure array grow as there are more values to be added
    private void ensureCapacity(int size_wanted)
    {
      int max_capacity = storage.length;
      if (size_wanted > max_capacity) 
      {
        max_capacity = max_capacity * GROW_FACTOR +1; 
        storage = Arrays.copyOf(storage, max_capacity); // increases array size + copy contents
      } 
    }
    
    //get size of the array

sorry but I would like to bump this to see if there is any response
