TOPIC 2

Roslan Sadjirin
At the end of the lesson, student should be
able to:
 Understand the concept of Sequential List
 Define and use the ADT of Sequential List and
its operations
 List, explain and apply the Sequential List in
solving a problem
 A linear collection of elements
 Support indexing of its elements.
 ArrayList/Sequential List - Each element is
associated with an indexable position in the
list, such that every position except the first
has a unique predecessor and every position
except the last has a unique successor.
 LinkedList: The first position in the list is
called as HEAD and the last position as TAIL.
 The size of the list indicates the number of
element in the list.
 NULL element is not allowed in the List.
 A list is a popular data structure for storing
data in sequential order – for example
◦ A list of students
◦ A list of available rooms
◦ A list of cities
◦ A list of books.
 Retrieve an element from a list.
 Insert a new element to a list.
 Delete an element from a list.
 Find how many elements are in a list.
 Find whether an element is in a list.
 Find whether a list is empty.
 Sequential List (Array List) - cover in Topic
2
 Linked List – cover in Topic 3
 Sequential List is a sequential data structures
 Also called ArrayList
 An array-based implementation, but it is an
improved version of one-dimensional array.
 Declaration and creation of ArrayList:
◦ ArrayList list = new ArrayList()
◦ ArrayList<Object_Type> list = new
ArrayList<Object_Type>()
 ArrayList object supports random access of
its elements; any element can be accessed in
constant time, given only the index of the
element.
 ArrayList’s object size is automatically
maintained (expand/shrink) during the
execution of a program.
 There are ArrayList method for inserting and
deleting at any index.
 This method inserts the element at the back
of the ArrayList object.
 Suppose fruits is (a reference to) the ArrayList
object, we can insert elements at the end of
the ArrayList object as follow:
◦ fruits.add(“rambutan”);
◦ fruits.add(“apple”);
◦ fruits.add(“durian”);
◦ fruits.add(“apple”);
 The representation of sequence of list fruits
is as follow:
0 1 2 3
“rambutan” “apple” “durian” “apple”
 Suppose that fruits is the ArrayList object as
shown below:
0 1 2 3
“rambutan” “apple” “durian” “apple”

 Then fruits.size() returns the value 4.

 Suppose that fruits is the ArrayList object as
shown below:
0 1 2 3
“rambutan” “apple” “durian” “apple”

 Then fruits.get(1) would return “apple”

 Suppose that fruits is the ArrayList object as
show below:
0 1 2 3
“rambutan” “apple” “durian” “apple”

 We can change the element at index 2 as follow:

◦ fruits.set(2, “kiwi”);

 The elements in the ArrayList object fruits are

now “rambutan”, “apple”, “kiwi”, and “apple”
 suppose that fruits is the ArrayList object as
shown below:
0 1 2 3
“rambutan” “apple” “durian” “apple”
 Then the output from:
fruits.add(1, “banana”);
for (int i = 0; i<fruits.size(); i++)
System.out.print(fruits.get(i) + “ ”);

 Would be:
rambutan banana apple kiwi apple
 Suppose that fruits is the ArrayList object as
shown below:
0 1 2 3 4
“rambutan” “banana” “apple” “kiwi” “apple”

 If the statement fruits.remove(2); is executed,

then fruits will consist of:
rambutan banana kiwi apple
 Suppose that fruits is the ArrayList object as
shown below:
0 1 2 3 4
“rambutan” “banana” “apple” “kiwi” “apple”

 If the statement is fruits.indexOf(“kiwi”); is

executed, then the value returned will be 3.
 But if the statement is
fruits.indexOf(“durian”); then the value
returned will be -1.
 Suppose fruits is the ArrayList object:
0 1 2 3 4
“rambutan” “banana” “apple” “kiwi” “apple”

 If the call is fruits.clear(); then after the

execution of the method, fruits will be an
empty ArrayList object.
