9. 11. 1. ArrayList Class |
|
The ArrayList class is the Collection Framework's replacement for the Vector class. |
The main difference is: ArrayList is not synchronized by default, whereas Vector is.
Both maintain their data in an ordered fashion. |
Ordered means the elements are held according to the positional index inserted,
sorted refers to the comparison of element values for ordering. |
The ArrayList and Vector provide quick, random access to elements at a cost of slower insertion and deletion of those
elements not at the end of the list. |
If you need to frequently add and delete elements from the middle
of the list, consider using a LinkedList. |
