Does not compile:
35:1: error: specializing member 'arrayListType<int>::arrayListType' requires 'template<>' syntax
I have included the template<> syntax but I still get the same error:

template<class elemType>
arrayListType<elemType>::arrayListType(int size)
{
   size = 100;
}    
Apart from the compiler error @keskiverto pointed out: You never allocate memory for list. I guess you want something like this (line 35):

template <class elemType>
arrayListType<elemType>::arrayListType(int size) : maxSize{size}, length{0}, list{new elemType[size]{}} // Note: initializer list is a good place to initialize your member variables!
{
   size = 100;
} 
It works!!!! could not believe it......
here is what I have edited:

template<class elemType>

   maxSize = size;
   length = 0;
   list = new elemType[size];

Thank you all!!!
now I can go on and deal with the seqSearch section
