Java ArrayList

• The ArrayList class is a resizable array.


• It is found in the java.util package.

Difference b/w Array and ArrayList


The size of an array cannot be modified (if you want to add or remove
elements to/from an array, you have to create a new one). While
elements can be added and removed from an ArrayList whenever you
want. The syntax is also slightly different:

Adding item in an ArrayList


The ArrayList class has many useful methods. For example, to add elements to the list, use the add() method:
Adding at a specific position:
Accessing an Elements

Modifying an Elements
Remove an Elements

To remove all the elements in

ArrayList
Sort an ArrayList (1/2)
Another useful class in the java.util package is the Collections class, which include the sort()
method for sorting lists alphabetically or numerically:

Check for Z to A
Sort an ArrayList (2/2)
2D ArrayList
n Java, a 2D ArrayList is essentially an ArrayList of ArrayLists, where each "row" is an ArrayList that
can hold a list of elements.
This provides flexibility in terms of dynamic resizing for both rows and columns, unlike a 2D array which
has fixed dimensions.
