The OrderedListAsArray class comprises one field, array,
which is an array of Comparable objects.
In addition, the OrderedListAsArray class inherits
the field count from AbstractContainer.
The array variable is used to hold the items in the ordered list.
Specifically, the items in the list are stored in
array positions 0, 1, ..., 
.
In an ordered list the position of an item is significant.
The item at position 0 is the first item in the list;
the item at position , the last.
An item at position i+1 is the successor of the one at position i. That is, the one at i+1 follows or comes after the one at i. Similarly, an item a position i is the predecessor of the one at position i+1; the one at position i is said to precede or to come before the one at i+1.
