Question

Given an ArrayList called myAL that contains the following:

["blue", "red", "yellow"]

write code to insert the elements "purple" and "orange" that keeps the list in alphabetical order.

Expert Solution
Step 1

Algorithm:

1) First we add the elements into the array list

2) then print the array list

3) then add remaining elements into the array list

4) sort the array list

5)print the sorted arraylist

 

Code: in java

 

import java.io.*;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.*;

class Arraylist1 //class declaration

{
public static void main(String[] args) //main method
throws IOException

{

int size = 5;

ArrayList<String> myAL = new ArrayList<String>(size);

myAL.add("blue");//adding the elements into the list

myAL.add("red");

myAL.add("yellow");

System.out.println(myAL);//printing the added elements

myAL.add("purple");//adding remaining elements into the arraylist

myAL.add("orange");

Collections.sort(myAL);//sorting the array list

System.out.println(myAL);//printing the array list elements after sorting

for (int i=0; i<myAL.size(); i++)

System.out.print(myAL.get(i)+" ");//printing the final output

}

}
