ArrayList in Java

My post today is about java.util.ArrayList in java and how to perform popular operation on ArrayList.

When writing this post I find the best thing is to write java class for doing operations  and commenting the operation in class.

 import java.util.ArrayList;   
  import java.util.Arrays;   
  import java.util.Collections;   
  import java.util.Iterator;   
  import java.util.List;   
  import java.util.ListIterator;   
  public class ArrayListDemo {   
   public static void arrayListOperations() {   
   
    
   
   //Create new two objects of ArrayList   
    System.out.println("===============================================================");   
    System.out.println("Create new two objects of ArrayList");   
    ArrayList list1 = new ArrayList();   
    ArrayList list2 = new ArrayList();   
   
    
   
  // Adding to list1 object 10 elements using loop   
    System.out.println("===============================================================");   
    System.out.println("Adding to list1 object 10 elements using loop");   
    for (int i = 0; i <= 10; i++) {   
     list1.add(i);   
    }   
   
    
   
  //Adding to list1 object String Objects   
    System.out.println("===============================================================");   
    System.out.println("Adding to list1 object String Objects");   
    list1.add("Mahmoud");   
    list1.add("El-Sayed");   
    //Retrieve every elements stored in ArrayList using Iterator   
    System.out.println("===============================================================");   
    System.out.println("Retrieve every elements stored in ArrayList using Iterator");   
    Iterator iterator = list1.iterator();   
    while (iterator.hasNext()) {   
     System.out.println(iterator.next().toString());   
    }  
   
    
   
  //Retrieve every elements stored in ArrayList using ListIterator   
    System.out.println("===============================================================");   
    System.out.println("Retrieve every elements stored in ArrayList using ListIterator");   
    ListIterator listIterator = list1.listIterator();   
    while (listIterator.hasNext()) {   
     System.out.println(listIterator.next().toString() + " PreviousIndex" + listIterator.previousIndex() +   
          " NextIndex" + listIterator.nextIndex());   
    }  
   
    
   
  //Retrieve every elements stored in ArrayList using indexing   
    System.out.println("===============================================================");   
    System.out.println("Retrieve every elements stored in ArrayList using indexing");   
    for (int i = 0; i < list1.size(); i++) {   
     System.out.println(list1.get(i).toString());   
    }  
   
    
   
  //Search about particular object and get its index in ArrayList   
    System.out.println("===============================================================");   
    System.out.println("Search about particular object and get its index in ArrayList");   
    int index = list1.indexOf("Mahmoud");   
    System.out.println("Mahmoud exists in index " + index);  
   
    
   
  //search about last index of particular object   
    System.out.println("===============================================================");   
    System.out.println("search about last index of particular object");   
    index = list1.lastIndexOf("Mahmoud");   
    System.out.println("Last index of Mahmoud is " + index);  
   
    
   
  //Create sub list from index 10 to end of the array list   
    System.out.println("===============================================================");   
    System.out.println("Create sub list from index 11 to end of the array list");   
    List subList = list1.subList(11, list1.size());   
    System.out.println("The sublist is " + subList);  
   
    
   
  //Sort the created sub list   
    System.out.println("===============================================================");   
    System.out.println("Sort the created sub list");   
    Collections.sort(subList);   
    System.out.println("Sublist after sorting " + subList);  
   
    
   
  //Reverse the created sublist   
    System.out.println("===============================================================");   
    System.out.println("Reverse the created sublist");   
    Collections.reverse(subList);   
    System.out.println("sublist after reversing " + subList);  
   
    
   
  //Check if array list and list is empty   
    System.out.println("===============================================================");   
    System.out.println("Check if array list and list is empty ");   
    System.out.println("list1 is empty " + list1.isEmpty());   
    System.out.println("list2 is empty " + list2.isEmpty());   
    System.out.println("subList is empty " + subList.isEmpty());  
   
    
   
  //check if list1 is equal to list2   
    System.out.println("===============================================================");   
    System.out.println("check if list1 is equal to list2");   
    System.out.println("Is list1 is equal to list2? " + list1.equals(list2));   
   
    
   
  //Convert List to array and print array   
    System.out.println("===============================================================");   
    System.out.println("Convert List to array and print array");   
    Object objs[] = list1.toArray();   
    System.out.println("Print list after converting to Array " + Arrays.toString(objs));   
   
    
   
  //Remove whole elements from Array List   
    System.out.println("===============================================================");   
    System.out.println("Remove whole elements from Array List");   
    list1.clear();   
    System.out.println("Elements in list1 after clearing " + list1);   
   }   
   
    
   
  public static void main(String[] args) {   
    ArrayListDemo.arrayListOperations();   
   }   
  }   
   

The output of running this java class is
