Java Collections Framework

The Java Collections Framework (JCF) is a set of classes and interfaces for reusable collection data structures such as lists, sets, and maps. It includes various implementations like ArrayList, HashSet, and HashMap, each serving different purposes for data storage and manipulation. Additionally, the Collections utility class offers static methods for operations like sorting and searching within these collections.

Java Collections Framework

Flashcard 1
Q: What is the Java Collections Framework?
A: The Java Collections Framework (JCF) is a set of classes and interfaces that implement
commonly reusable collection data structures, such as lists, sets, and maps, allowing for
organized data storage and manipulation.

Flashcard 2
Q: How do you create an ArrayList and add elements in Java?
A:

java
Copy code
import java.util.ArrayList;
ArrayList<String> list = new ArrayList<>();
list.add("Apple");
list.add("Banana");

Flashcard 3
Q: What method would you use to remove an element from a List in Java?
A: remove(int index) or remove(Object o).

Example:

java
Copy code
list.remove(0); // Removes the first element
list.remove("Banana"); // Removes the specified object

Flashcard 4
Q: What is a Set in Java, and which classes implement it?
A: A Set is a collection that cannot contain duplicate elements. Common implementations
include HashSet, LinkedHashSet, and TreeSet.

Flashcard 5
Q: How does a HashSet differ from a LinkedHashSet?
A: HashSet makes no guarantee of the iteration order, while LinkedHashSet maintains
insertion order.

Flashcard 6
Q: Write a code sample to create a HashSet and add elements to it.
A:

java
Copy code
Java Collections Framework

import java.util.HashSet;
HashSet<String> set = new HashSet<>();
set.add("Red");
set.add("Blue");
set.add("Green");

Flashcard 7
Q: Describe the Map interface in Java.
A: A Map represents a collection of key-value pairs, where each key maps to exactly one
value. Implementations include HashMap, LinkedHashMap, and TreeMap.

Flashcard 8
Q: How do you retrieve a value from a HashMap given a key?
A: Use the get(Object key) method.

Example:

java
Copy code
import java.util.HashMap;
HashMap<Integer, String> map = new HashMap<>();
map.put(1, "One");
String value = map.get(1); // Retrieves "One"

Flashcard 9
Q: How does TreeMap order its elements?
A: TreeMap orders its elements based on the natural ordering of keys or by a specified
Comparator.

Flashcard 10
Q: What is the purpose of the Collections utility class in Java?
A: The Collections class provides static methods to manipulate collections, like sorting,
searching, and synchronizing them.
