ok so i need to allow the user to enter a number they want or delete that number from an array. Then i need to combine those arrays(union) and then find out which elements are common(intersection). only numbers 0-100 are allowed to be entered. so if an element is in the array it is set to 1 and if it is not in the array it is set to 0. what i am stuck at is how to do the union and intersection. any hints or help on where to start? also did i do the delete and insert functions correctly?

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

class IntegerSet
{
public:
	IntegerSet()//default constructor
	{
		int num;
		for ( aArray[num]; num <= 101; num++)
		{
			aArray[num] = 0;
			/*cout << "a[" << num << "] = " << aArray[num] << endl;*///just to make sure the elements were initialized to zero/empty set
		}
	}

	void unionOfSets()
	{
		
	}

	void intersectionOfSets()
	{
	}

	void insertElement(int num)
	{
		aArray[num + 1] = 1;
	}

	void deleteElement(int num)
	{
		aArray[num + 1] = 0;
	}

	int askUser()//asks user what element they want to enter
	{
		int element;
		do{// do while continues to ask user to enter elements until they want to stop
			cout << "Which number(0-100) would like to add to the set? Enter -1 to stop";
			if (element != -1)
			{
				cin >> element;
			}
			else
			{
				break;
			}
		}while (element != -1);

		return element;
	}
	

private:
	int aArray[101];
};
int main()
{
	
	IntegerSet setA;
	IntegerSet setB;
	setA.insertElement( setA.askUser() );
	setB.insertElement( setB.askUser() ); 
	/*IntegerSet setC = setA.unionOfSets(setB);
	IntegerSet setD = setB.intersectionOfSets(setA);*/
	 

	
	
		
		
		return 0;
}

union = if it's in either, then set the result
intersection = if it's in both, then set the result.

The rest is just for loops.
