+### Requirements
9
+
10
+Implement a singly linked list:
11
+
12
+- You may not use the `LinkedList` or `ArrayList` class or any other predefined Java collections
13
+- Your linked list must have a node inner class to represent each element
14
+- Your linked list must have add, remove, contains, find, size, get, copy and sort methods
15
+- Method definitions:
16
+	- add -- add an element to the list
17
+	- remove -- remove an element (specified by numeric index) from the list
18
+	- contains -- returns true if the element is in the list, false otherwise
19
+	- find -- returns the element's index if it is in the list, -1 otherwise
20
+	- size -- returns the current size of the list
21
+	- get -- returns the element at the specified index
22
+	- copy -- returns a new linked list containing the same values (look up deep versus shallow copy)
23
+	- sort -- sorts the list using your algorithm of choice. You must perform the sorting yourself (no fair using someone else's library)
24
+
25
+
26
+### Optional features
27
+
28
+- implement your linked list as a generic class that can store any type of object
29
+- Add a reverse method
30
+- Add a slice method that returns a copy of a subset of the element of the list (eg slice(2,8) returns a new linked list containing elements #2,3,4,5,6,7 -- but not 8)
