Collection Framework of Java
The Java Collection Framework provides a set of interfaces and classes that allow you to work with groups of objects in a standardized way. The framework is divided into several interfaces and classes, including `List`, `Set`, `Queue`, `Map`, and their various implementations. Here’s an overview of the main interfaces and classes in the Java Collection Framework, along with examples for each: ### 1. **List Interface** - **Characteristics**: Ordered collection (sequence) that allows duplicates. Elements can be accessed by their index. #### Implementations: - **ArrayList**: Resizable array implementation of the `List` interface. - **LinkedList**: Doubly-linked list implementation of the `List` and `Deque` interfaces. - **Vector**: Synchronized, resizable array implementation. - **Stack**: A subclass of `Vector` that represents a last-in, first-out (LIFO) stack. #### Example: ```java import java.util.ArrayList; import java.util.LinkedList; import java.util.Vector; import java.util.St...
