I'm a beginner who just spent ages working on the following code.. but need help on re-implementing the following using a linked list, i.e. no array is allowed for customer records but you still can use arrays for names, address, etc.. Hopefully I've inserted enough comments.. Help very much appreciated!! Thanks! =] ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Code: import java.util.Scanner; import java.io.*; public class Bank { /* Private variables declared so that the data is only accessible to its own class, but not to any other class, thus preventing other classes from referring to the data directly */ private static Customer[] customerList = new Customer[30];
