Sample Output:

The first list is:

AAA

BBB

CCC

3

The Second list is:

AAA

BBB

CCC

3

The Third list is:

AAA

BBB

CCC

DDD

4

The Third list after inserting another element is:

AAA

BBB

CCC

DDD

EEE

5

Deleted an element whose index value is 2:

Therefore, the elements present in the Third list are:

AAA

BBB

DDD

EEE

The value AAA is found at: 0

The size of the Third list is :4

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Note:

The code has been checked thoroughly, the change made are highligted in the bold letters. In the main function, to know which

list is getting displayed purpose, certain code has been added.

The changes made are:

1. in the parameterised constructor passing a reference to the List, the variable mysize is changed.

2. in the erase function, an if condition is added.
