Java collections

The Collection in Java is a framework that provides an architecture to store and

Java Collections can achieve all the operations that you perform on a data such as
searching, sorting, insertion, manipulation, and deletion.

Java Collection means a single unit of objects. Java Collection framework provides
many interfaces (Set, List, Queue, Deque) and classes (ArrayList, Vector, LinkedList,
PriorityQueue, HashSet, LinkedHashSet, TreeSet).

What is Collection in Java

A Collection represents a single unit of objects, i.e., a group.

What is a framework in Java

It provides readymade architecture.

It represents a set of classes and interfaces.

It is optional.

Methods of Collection interface

There are many methods declared in the Collection interface. They are as
follows:

No. Method Description

2 public boolean addAll(Collection<? extends E> c) It is used to insert

3 public boolean remove(Object element) It is used to delete an

4 public boolean removeAll(Collection<?> c) It is used to delete all the

5 default boolean removeIf(Predicate<? super E> filter) It is used to

6 public boolean retainAll(Collection<?> c) It is used to delete all the

7 public int size() It returns the total number of elements in the

8 public void clear() It removes the total number of elements from the
collection.

9 public boolean contains(Object element) It is used to search an

10 public boolean containsAll(Collection<?> c) It is used to search

11 public Iterator iterator() It returns an iterator.

12 public Object[] toArray() It converts collection into array.

13 public <T> T[] toArray(T[] a) It converts collection into array.

14 public boolean isEmpty() It checks if collection is empty.

15 default Stream<E> parallelStream() It returns a possibly parallel

16 default Stream<E> stream() It returns a sequential Stream with the

17 default Spliterator<E> spliterator() It generates a Spliterator over

19 public int hashCode() It returns the hash code number of the

Iterator interface

Iterator interface provides the facility of iterating the elements in a forward

Methods of Iterator interface

There are only three methods in the Iterator interface. They are:

No. Method Description

1 public boolean hasNext() It returns true if the iterator has more

2 public Object next() It returns the element and moves the cursor
pointer to the next element.

3 public void remove() It removes the last elements returned by the

Iterable Interface

The Iterable interface is the root interface for all the collection classes. The
Collection interface extends the Iterable interface and therefore all the
subclasses of Collection interface also implement the Iterable interface.

It contains only one abstract method. i.e.,

Iterator<T> iterator()

It returns the iterator over the elements of type T.

Collection Interface

The Collection interface is the interface which is implemented by all the

Some of the methods of Collection interface are Boolean add ( Object obj),
Boolean addAll ( Collection c), void clear(), etc. which are implemented by all
the subclasses of Collection interface.

List Interface

List interface is the child interface of Collection interface. It inhibits a list

List interface is implemented by the classes ArrayList, LinkedList, Vector,

To instantiate the List interface, we must use :

List <data-type> list1= new ArrayList();

List <data-type> list2 = new LinkedList();

List <data-type> list3 = new Vector();

List <data-type> list4 = new Stack();

There are various methods in List interface that can be used to insert,
delete, and access the elements from the list.

The classes that implement the List interface are given below.
