Hi everyone.
So here is my dilemma, I am working on my final project, tackling it one item at a time, so this post is strictly for help deleting a record out of my array. I think I have everything set up right to call to a Method I am calling 'deleteBooks' The code doesn't compile right now because this is where I need help (Indicated by the "???WHAT GOES HERE???" line). I have searched through some examples and I am just not quite sure what to do in this method to delete the record. If anyone can push me in the direction that would be great! Thanks so much!
By the way, I don't care how it looks, I am not being graded on appearance but on functionality.
Brandon
