Classes that Implement List


Since List is an interface, we cannot create objects from it.
In order to use the functionalities of the List interface, we can use these classes:
 ArrayList
 LinkedList
 Vector
 Stack

In Java, we must import java.util.List package in order to use List.

// ArrayList implementation of List


List<String> list1 = new ArrayList<>();

// LinkedList implementation of List


List<String> list2 = new LinkedList<>();
Java ArrayList
In Java, we use the ArrayList class to implement the functionality of resizable-arrays.
It implements the List interface of the collections framework.

Java ArrayList Vs Array


In Java, we need to declare the size of an array before we can use it. Once the size of an
array is declared, it's hard to change it.
To handle this issue, we can use the ArrayList class. It allows us to create resizable arrays.
Unlike arrays, arraylists can automatically adjust their capacity when we add or remove
elements from them. Hence, arraylists are also known as dynamic arrays.

ArrayList<String> animals = new ArrayList<>();


languages.add("C++");
String str = animals.get(1);
languages.set(2, "JavaScript");
String str = animals.remove(2);

Java Vector vs. ArrayList


In Java, both ArrayList and Vector implements the List interface and provides the same
functionalities. However, there exist some differences between them.
The Vector class synchronizes each individual operation. This means whenever we want to
perform some operation on vectors, the Vector class automatically applies a lock to that
operation.
However, in array lists, methods are not synchronized. Instead, it uses
the Collections.synchronizedList() method that synchronizes the list as a whole.

What is the difference between Java ArrayList and LinkedList?


Some of the major differences between ArrayList and LinkedList in Java are:

ArrayList LinkedList

Implements List interface Implements List, Queue, and Deque interfaces.

Stores a single value. Stores 3 values: data, previous and next


address

Provides the functionality of a resizable


Provides the functionality of doubly-linked list
array.

Java List vs. Set


Both the List interface and the Set interface inherit the Collection interface. However, there
exists some difference between them.
1. Lists can include duplicate elements. However, sets cannot have duplicate elements.
2. Elements in lists are stored in some order. However, elements in sets are stored in
groups like sets in mathematics.
