The document outlines the requirements for a C++ program that implements a list abstract data type (ADT) using object-oriented programming. It specifies the creation of three files: class specification (*.h), implementation (*.cpp), and application/client/main file (*main.cpp), which must include a menu allowing users to add, delete, and display student first names. Additionally, the program should handle errors, avoid using built-in data structures, and follow proper coding standards including comments and indentation.
