Copy and expand an array

[bakerestates]

I am trying to copy values from an array in a parent class into an expanded array in a subclass. Here is my code so far:

public class AblistWithOccur ances extends Ablist

public AblistWithOccur ances ()
{
super(); //Copy Constructor
}

public int expandedList(St ring[]listItems,int []maxItems, int values)
{
int []expandedList = new int[(maxItems.lengt h + 100)];
}
for(int i=0;i<(maxItems .length + 100); i++)
{
expandedList[]=listItems.Abli st[];
return expandedList;
}

I am getting an illegal start of expression error message in regards to my "for" loop.

remove the } indicated the compiler thinks it has come to the end of method expandedList()

public int expandedList(String[]listItems,int []maxItems, int values)
{
int []expandedList = new int[(maxItems.length + 100)];
}    << remove this !!
for(int i=0;i<(maxItems.length + 100); i++)
{
expandedList[]=listItems.Ablist[];
return expandedList;
}
