Concept explainers
Arraylist:
It is a collection framework and the java package “java.util.package” is used for this. Arraylist is a dynamic list which is used to store dynamic array elements.
To use Arraylist class in a Java program, it must be imported first from the Java library files.
The statement which must be imported in order to use Arraylist class is,
import java.util.Arraylist;
Syntax for Arraylist:
ArrayList() object_name=new ArrayList();
Here,
- “ArrayList()” is the class name with no arguments. The programmer can use “ArrayList(Collection c)” and “ArrayList(int)” from “util” package.
- “object_name” describes name of the object of Arraylist.
Creation of string ArrayList:
ArrayList <String> x = new ArrayList<String>();
The above statement is an example of creation of ArrayList class. The array object “x” is used to store the list of objects.
Inserting an item at specific location in an ArrayList object:
The items can be inserted at the specified index in an Arraylist object using “add()” method,
Insertion of object at the beginning of the list is as follows:
a.add (0, object);
The “a” is an array list object and “add” is a built-in function which is used to add the objects to the list. The argument “(0, object)” means add the object at the beginning of the object.
Example:
To insert an item at index 2 for ArrayList named List which stores strings, the following statement is used,
List.add(2, “John”);

- Given these three ArrayLists: ArrayList collectionA = new ArrayList(); ArrayList collectionB = new ArrayList(15); ArrayList collectionC = new ArrayList(25) ; After adding 390 items to each collection, answer the following two questions: Blank 1: Which ArrayList has the largest capacity for the array data member being used internally for storing the items in the object? Blank 2: What is the capacity for the object in blank one? Blank # 1 A Blank # 2 Aarrow_forwardCreate a class containing the main method. In the main method, create an integer array and initialize it with the numbers: 1,3,5,7,9,11,13,15,17,19 Pass the array as an argument to a method. Use a loop to add 1 to each element of the array and return the array to the main method. In the main method, use a loop to add the array elements and display the result. Note: In the loops, use the array field that holds the length of the array and do not use a number for array length.arrow_forward17. Phone Book ArrayList Write a class named PhoneBookEntry that has fields for a person's name and phone number. The class should have a constructor and appropriate accessor and mutator methods. Then write a program that creates at least five PhoneBookEntry objects and stores them in an ArrayList. Use a loop to display the contents of each object in the ArrayList.arrow_forward
- Library class: Fields: books as arraylist to store all the books available in the library B3 B1 B2 В4 B5 Constructor: Library() } : No parameterized constructor to create the books object Methods: 1. addBook(Book bookobj): to add a new book to the arraylist; send the book object as a parameter to this method. 2. searchBook(String name): search a book by a given name in the arraylist. if exits print bookX found; otherwise print not found!!! 3. RemoveBook(String name): to delete a book object from arraylist by a given name: Hint: you need to use iterator class and remove method. Book class: Fileds: bookld, bookname. Constructor: two parameterized constructor that accepts name a parameter Book(int ID, String name) ..... Methods: 1. Accessor method to return the name of the book 2. Mutator method to change the id of the book. Use this Main method: in your program: public static void main(String args[]) { Library lib=new Library(); lib.addBook(new Book("b1")); lib.addBook(new Book("b2"));…arrow_forwardThis lab was designed to reinforce programming concepts from this lab, you will practice: Declaring and initializing ArrayList. Add elements to the Arraylist. Display the content of the ArrayList. Write a class name PhoneBookEntry that has fields for a person’s name and phone number. The class should have a constructor and the appropriate accessor and mutator methods. Then write a program that creates at least 5 PhoneBookEntry objects and stores them in an ArrayList. Use a loop to display the contents of each object in the ArrayList.arrow_forwardThis program is going to maintain a list of customers’ names and bank account balances. 1. Create a class called CustomerList with a main method that instantiates an ArrayList of String objects called customerName. Invoke the add method to add the following names into the ArrayList: Cathy Ben Jorge Wanda Freddie 1. Print each name in the ArrayList using a for a loop. 2. Create another ArrayList object called customerBalance, to save users’ balance. What is the type of this ArrayList? double or Double? You just need to declare this ArrayList and leave it empty for now. 3. For each customer, print the name and ask the user to enter the initial balance for this customer. Save the initial balance into ArrayList customerBalance. Use a loop to get this done for all 5 customers. The program should print out this for the first customer: Example: Please enter the account balance for Cathy: (waiting for user’s input …) Code: for(int i=0; i<5;i++) { Print(“Please enter the account balance…arrow_forward
- The purpose of this exercise is to create an Array List data structure that mimics the behavior of the Java Standard Library Version. Task Check List ONLY "for" loops should be used within the data structure class. The names of identifiers MUST match the names listed in the description below. data fields: The fields to declare have private accessibility. size : stores the number of occupied locations in internal array, and is of type int. data : is a reference variable for the internal array and is of type E[ ]. constant: Use to describe defaults. DEFAULT_CAPACITY is a constant that holds a default capacity of ten (10) for the underlying array, is of type int , public accessibility and modified to static. constructors: The overloaded constructors will initialize the data fields size and data. The default constructor calls the second constructor, generating an internal array with the specified DEFAULT_CAPACITY. public ArrayList() The second constructor generates an…arrow_forward1) What is one main disadvantage of an ArrayList? 2) Write a Java statement to create an ArrayList called list to hold 25 integers. 3) What is the type of the ArrayList defined in question number 2? 4) Write a for loop to initialize the objects in the ArrayList created in question number 2 above to -1.arrow_forwardWrite code that will accept as input the characteristics of an undefined number of different softdrinks. Each softdrink should have a colour (of the can), name and volume. • Create SoftDrink objects and store them in an ArrayList (see the Appendix) as each softdrink is entered. • Alternatively, you can use an array. Take a number of items first, create an array of that size and read in the elements. • Prompt the user to add a softdrink until they choose to quit. • Once the user quits, print out a list of the softdrinks that the user has entered, sorted first by alphabetical order of name, then by colour, then by volume (ascending order). Name your driver class Question2.java. NOTE: • You can use the built-in static sort() method in the java.util.Collections class to sort your ArrayList of SoftDrink objects.
