creating Objects: how to have n objects?

[turboliux]

ok, i m doing this program dossier thing where i need to create my own program. so i decided to have a organizer, maybe some kind of KOrganizer (KDE, Linux) but simplified. well i pretty much know how it gonna look like (GUI), but i dont know how to its gonna work, how it should be designed. so i'm stuck with system design.
...so far i know what i will have Linked List with Nodes. each node will have an object and a reference to next object. and this object i will call "Row". Row will have different information:

code:

| year | month | day | noteID |   note                 |       -------------------------------------------------------- row1  | 2005 | Janua | 03  |   01   | need to buy...         | row2  | 2005 | Janua | 04  |   02   |  meet John tmrw at...  |

the trick is that the user makes as many notes as he wants. so i cannot make objects for him, there can be 'n' objects. is there a method in java where, when you have lets say

code:

Row row1; Row row2; //and then user clicks on the button or clicks on the text field, etc. Row row3;

how to allow the user create new object?

An ArrayList perhaps.

so each time the user enters new note, he adds new object to list?

code:

ArrayList list = new ArrayList(); //when user enters new note: list.add(new Row(foobar));

.... so is it an array or list? kinda confused

[turboliux]

whats the difference between LinkedList and ArrayList?
and also, in requirements it says:
"ADT name: Lists, implemented using references (that is, a dynamically linked list)."

yea i tihnk they want u to impliment the list ADT using linked lists, its not too bad... a doubly linked list would work just fine for your situation
