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”);

- 4. How do you add items to an ArrayList object?arrow_forwardWrite a statement that creates an ArrayList object and assigns its address to a variable named lizards. The ArrayList should be able to store String objects only.arrow_forwardcontinue from first question, Client class:The client program will allow entry of these data for several different student into an ArrayList and then perform some analysis and queries.Your client class (program) will provide the user with a menu to perform the following operations. You will also need to load the information of the students from a CSV file (student.csv) before displaying the menu. You only need one ArrayList and one menu for this. For the csv file, your first item can be U or G to differentiate whether the entry is creating a UndergraduateStudent object, or a GraduateStudent object. You can then decide how you want other data to be listed in the csv file. You should specify clearly in your documentation the data format of the CSV files used in this assignment.1. Quit (exit the program)2. Add (to the ArrayList) all the marks information about an undergraduate or graduate student by reading it from another CSV file. Your program will ask for the file name.3. Given student…arrow_forward
- 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_forwardCreate an array of three string values that the fullName variable will use as a point of reference. Make an initialization list for the array using string values for the first, middle, and last names.arrow_forward
- This code should be working at repl.itarrow_forwardLibrary 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_forwardIn this project you will generate a poker hand containing five cards randomly selected from a deck of cards. The names of the cards are stored in a text string will be converted into an array. The array will be randomly sorted to "shuffle" the deck. Each time the user clicks a Deal button, the last five cards of the array will be removed, reducing the size of the deck size. When the size of the deck drops to zero, a new randomly sorted deck will be generated. A preview of the completed project with a randomly generated hand is shown in Figure 7-50.arrow_forward
- in C#, Visual Basic Write an app for Boston Airlines that allows a customer to reserve a seat on the airline’s only plane (capacity: 10 seats). Radio buttons should allow the choice between First Class and Economy. The app should then assign a seat in the first-class section (seats 1–5) or the economy section (seats 6–10). Use a one-dimensional array of type bool to represent the seating chart of the plane. Initialize all the elements of the array to false to indicate that all the seats are empty. As each seat is assigned, set the corresponding element of the array to true to indicate that the seat is no longer available. Your app should never assign a seat that has already been assigned. When the economy section is full, your app should ask the person if it is acceptable to be placed in the first-class section (and vice versa). If yes, make the appropriate seat assignment. If no, display the message “Next flight leaves in 3 hours."arrow_forwardCreate a program that will track student names and their grades and perform some simple statistics. In a main class create an ArrayList or array that will hold Student names. Create a second (parallel) ArrayList or array that will hold student scores, represented as integers from 0-100. Prompt the user to enter some students (for your purposes, enter information for at least three). Then present a menu for the user. The menu will contain the following options: Find student with the highest grade (print out the name of the student) Find grade average (return the grade average back to the calling method) print information of all students exit program Create methods in your main class for these options. Keep the your ArrayList or array inside your main method and pass it to the other methods; it should not be a global variable. Validate the grade; the user should not enter anything below 0 or above 100.arrow_forwardWrite only the required Java statements to do the following: i) create a new ArrayListobject named cityList to hold String objects; ii) add the following city names (as string) in the array list: Atlanta, Chicago, Denver, Houston, Minneapolis; iii) remove the item at index 3 and then print the item stored at index 3 of cityList. iv) What value will be printed for index 3?arrow_forward
