A method, just like a standalone function, is allowed to have local
variables.

So you can apply the logic of Lab 10 to Lab 11. That is, in
varArray::removeNumber() method you declare a local (automatic)
pointer to a temporary array. Dynamically allocate this array, copy
values to this array and then proceed to remove them in sorted order.

You might consider turning this copy function into a (private) member.
