Assuming an array of course (Courses) exists as a member of the class to which these two methods
belong:

     for (int i = 0; i< Courses.length; i++){
         if (Courses[i].getName().equals(name)){
            System.out.println(Courses[i].getName() + " " + Integer.toString(Courses[i].getCredits()));
            return i;
         }
     }
     return -1;   
}

void dropCourse(String name){

    int a = searchCourse(name);
    if (a != -1 ){
        for (int i = a+1; i < Courses.length; i++) {
            Courses[i].setName( Courses[i+1].getName());
            Courses[i].setCredits( Courses[i+1].getCredits());
        }
        totalNumCourses--;
        totalNumCredits = totalNumCredits - Courses[a].getCredits();
    }
    else {
        cout << "Course can not be dropped as it is not in the schedule ";
