Java Collections Framework — Full Course Syllabus
Learn the essential classes and interfaces of the Java Collections Framework for efficient data management.
- 1. ArrayList ClassA resizable array implementation of the List interface, allowing dynamic array size.
- 2. LinkedList ClassA doubly linked list implementation of the List interface, allowing efficient insertions and deletions.
- 3. HashSet ClassA collection that implements the Set interface, backed by a hash table, allowing no duplicate elements.
- 4. HashMap ClassA hash table-based implementation of the Map interface, allowing null values and keys.
- 5. Collection InterfaceThe root interface in the Java Collections Framework that defines common methods for all collections.
- 6. List InterfaceAn interface that defines an ordered collection allowing duplicate elements.
- 7. Set InterfaceAn interface that defines a collection that cannot contain duplicate elements.
- 8. Map InterfaceAn interface that represents a collection of key-value pairs, where each key is unique.
- 9. TreeSet ClassA NavigableSet implementation that uses a red-black tree to store elements in sorted order.
- 10. TreeMap ClassA map that is sorted according to the natural ordering of its keys or by a comparator provided at map creation.
- 11. PriorityQueue ClassA queue that orders its elements according to their natural ordering or by a comparator provided at queue creation.
- 12. Collections Utility ClassA utility class that consists of static methods for operating on collections, such as sorting and searching.
- 13. Iterator InterfaceAn interface that provides methods to iterate over a collection.
- 14. ListIterator InterfaceAn interface that extends Iterator to allow bidirectional traversal of a list.
- 15. LinkedHashMap ClassA hash table and linked list implementation of the Map interface, maintaining insertion order.
- 16. ConcurrentHashMap ClassA thread-safe variant of HashMap that allows concurrent access by multiple threads.
