We would examine all the differences between List and ArrayList in Java.<\/p>\n
First, I would like to say that both List and ArrayList are useful classes in Java. They both allow you to work with collection of item (whether primitive types or objects).<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
First note that\u00a0 List is an interface. So this means, you cannot instantiate it.<\/p>\n
The List interface is available in Java.util.collection. It is derived from the Collection interface. A List is an ordered collection of objects which allows storage of duplicate values.<\/p>\n
The List interface is implemented by the following classes:<\/p>\n
How to create a list<\/strong><\/p>\n If List is an interface and we cannot instantiate an interface, how then can we create a List? We do this using the constructor from any of the classes the implements the List interface. For example, see the code below<\/p>\n <\/p>\n From the code, you can see that lists are created by calling the constructor of the derived classes.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n As mentioned before, an ArrayList implements the List interface.<\/p>\n ArrayList is similar to List. But unlike List, an ArrayList has specific method that are only available in the ArrayList class.<\/p>\n So to create an ArrayList, you use the ArrayList Constructor. See below<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Similar to the List class, if an ArrayList is being created, you can decide to specify the datatype. If not specified, the default of object is used.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" We would examine all the differences between List and ArrayList in Java.
