// Helene Martin, CSE 143
// This class provides a skeletal implementation of the List interface 
// to minimize the effort required to implement it.

// Abstract classes are a good way to provide a partially implemented class.
// This class compiles despite not implementing all of the List interface's methods
// because abstract classes can't be directly instantiated and must instead be extended.
// A subclass of AbstractList that doesn't implement the rest of the List interface will
// not compile.

	}

	// Returns true if the value is in the list, false otherwise.
	public boolean contains(E value) {
		return indexOf(value) != -1;
