Java Collections Framework Notes

1. Collections Framework Hierarchy:

Iterable

Collection

/ | \

List Set Queue

^ ^ ^

ArrayList HashSet PriorityQueue

LinkedList TreeSet ArrayDeque

SortedSet

NavigableSet

Map

/ \

HashMap SortedMap

TreeMap

2. List, Set and Queue with Example:

List: Ordered, duplicates allowed

Example:
List<String> list = new ArrayList<>();

list.add("Apple"); list.add("Banana");

Set: No duplicates

Set<String> set = new HashSet<>();

set.add("Dog"); set.add("Cat");

Queue: FIFO

Queue<String> queue = new LinkedList<>();

queue.add("A"); queue.add("B");

3. LinkedList Example:

LinkedList<String> list = new LinkedList<>();

list.add("One"); list.add("Two");

4. LinkedList Methods:

add(), addFirst(), addLast(), removeFirst(), get(index)

5. HashMap Example:

HashMap<Integer, String> map = new HashMap<>();

map.put(1, "One");

6. HashMap Methods:

put(), putIfAbsent(), remove(), containsKey(), replace()

7. ArrayList with forEach:

ArrayList<String> items = new ArrayList<>();


items.add("Pen"); items.forEach(System.out::println);

8. Differences: Array vs ArrayList vs Vector vs Stack

9. Set vs Map:

Set - only values, Map - key-value

10. Types of Set and Map:

Set: HashSet, TreeSet, LinkedHashSet

Map: HashMap, TreeMap, LinkedHashMap, Hashtable

11. Stack & Queue Example:

Stack<Integer> stack = new Stack<>();

stack.push(10); stack.pop();

Queue<String> queue = new LinkedList<>();

queue.add("A"); queue.poll();

12. TreeSet and Hashtable:

TreeSet<Integer> ts = new TreeSet<>();

ts.add(3); ts.add(1);

Hashtable<String, String> ht = new Hashtable<>();

ht.put("India", "Delhi");
