You can't change the size of an array. Create a new one and copy the data from the old one to the new one.

You can't. Arrays have a fixed size. There are alternatives though, like creating a new array with the intended size, then copying the content from the original array to the new one. There are also APIs which make this easier (see the Arrays and System javadocs. You might not want to use them, though, if this is an assignment.
