+## Building Utility Class for String Array Objects
+* **Objective**
+    * To complete the utility methods in the class [StringArrayUtils]()
+        * `int getNumberOfOccurrences(String[] stringArray, String stringToCheck)`
+        * `boolean contains(String[] stringArray, String stringToCheck)`
+        * `String[] removeValue(String[] stringArray, String stringToRemove)`
+        
+* **Purpose**
+    * To establish greater familiarity with loops and arrays.
+    * To demonstrate the implementation of a [Utility class](https://www.quora.com/What-is-a-utility-class)
+    
+    
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+<br><br><br><br>
+## Sample Behavior - `StringArrayUtils.removeValues(array, valueToRemove)`
+* **Description**
+    * Given an array of `String` objects named `array` and a `String` object named `valueToRemove`<br>create and return an array containing identical contents excluding objects whose value is equivalent to `valueToRemove`. Ensure that the length of the newly created array has been resized based on the removal of the undesired elements. 
+        
+### Example 1
+* Sample Script
+
+    ```
+    // : Given
+    String[] array = {"aba", "aba", "baa", "bab", "bba", "bba", "bba", "bba", "bbb", "bbb"};
+    
+    // : When
+    String[] actual = StringArrayUtils.removeValues(array, "aba");
+    
+    // : Then
+    System.out.println(Arrays.toString(actual));
+    ```
+
+
+
+* Sample Output
+    ```
+    [baa, bab, bba, bba, bba, bba, bbb, bbb};
+    ```
+    
+    
+
+### Example 2
+* Sample Script
+
+    ```
+    // : Given
+    String[] array = {"aba", "aba", "baa", "bab", "bba", "bba", "bba", "bba", "bbb", "bbb"};
+    
+    // : When
+    String[] actual = StringArrayUtils.removeValues(array, "bba");
+    
+    // : Then
+    System.out.println(Arrays.toString(actual));
+    ```
+
+
+
+* Sample Output
+    ```
+    [aba, aba, baa, bab, bbb, bbb];
+    ```
+    
+    
+
+### Example 3
+* Sample Script
+
+    ```
+    // : Given
+    String[] array = {"aba", "aba", "baa", "bab", "bba", "bba", "bba", "bba", "bbb", "bbb"};
+    
+    // : When
+    String[] actual = StringArrayUtils.removeValues(array, "bbb");
+    
+    // : Then
+    System.out.println(Arrays.toString(actual));
+    ```
+
+
+
+* Sample Output
+    ```
+    [aba, aba, baa, bab, bba, bba, bba, bba];
+    ```
+
+

+## Sample Behavior - `StringArrayUtils.getNumberOfOccurrences(array, value)`
+* **Method Description**
+    * Given an array of `String` objects named `array` and a `String` object named `value`<br>return the number of times `value` appears in `arrays`
+
+### Example 1
+* Sample Script
+
+    ```
+    // : Given
+    String[] array = {"aba", "aba", "baa", "bab", "bba", "bba", "bba", "bba", "bbb", "bbb"};
+    
+    // : When
+    int numberOfOccurrences = StringArrayUtils.getNumberOfOccurrences(array, "bba");
+    
+    // : Then
+    System.out.println(numberOfOccurrences);
+    ```
+
+
+
+* Sample Output
+
+    ```
+    4
+    ```
+    
+

+
+### Example 2
+* Sample Script

+    // : Given
+    String[] array = {"aba", "aba", "baa", "bab", "bba", "bba", "bba", "bba", "bbb", "bbb"};
+    
+    // : When
+    int numberOfOccurrences = StringArrayUtils.getNumberOfOccurrences(array, "bbb");
+    
+    // : Then
+    System.out.println(numberOfOccurrences);
+    ```
+
+
+
+* Sample Output
+
+    ```
+    2
+    ```
+    
+
+### Example 3
+* Sample Script
+
+    ```
+    // : Given
+    String[] array = {"aba", "aba", "baa", "bab", "bba", "bba", "bba", "bba", "bbb", "bbb"};
+    
+    // : When
+    int numberOfOccurrences = StringArrayUtils.getNumberOfOccurrences(array, "baa");
+    
+    // : Then
+    System.out.println(numberOfOccurrences);
+    ```
+
+
+
+* Sample Output
+
+    ```
+    1

+## Sample Behavior - `StringArrayUtils.contains(array, value)`
+
+### Example 1
+* Sample Script
+
+    ```

+    String[] array = {"the", "quick", "brown", "fox", "jumps", "over", "the", "lazy", "dog"};

+* Sample Output
