• Most people did not follow the directions:
  Do Part 1
  Test Part 1
  Do Part 2
  Test Part 2
  ...
• Most people made the problem much harder than it needed to be.
• Testing is important. Many people just added 1 + 2.
• You should only need two fields, the array of int and the boolean plus.
• The constructor stores the string in the array backwards.
• Choose appropriate names for your identifiers.
  Example: array is not a good name for a VeryBigInteger or for the length of an array.
• The minus sign should not be stored in the array of ints.
• The toString should produce a string containing only the number.
• toString should not print anything.
• toString makes a string from the array backwards
• When subtracting numbers of the same sign or adding number of different signs, you need to figure out which one has a bigger magnitude.
  This is not the same as which is longer.
