- public boolean removeAll(Collection c)
- public boolean retainAll(Collection c)
- public int size()
- public void clear()
- public boolean contains(Object element)
- public boolean containsAll(Collection c)

Commonly used methods of Iterator interface in java are:
- public Object next()
- public void remove()
- public boolean hasNext()
4) What are the ways to iterate the elements of collection in Java?
Two ways to iterate the elements of collection in java are:
- By using for-each loop
- By using Iterator interface
5) What are the types of Constructors of Java ArrayList?
There are three types of Constructors in Java ArrayList are:
- ArrayList()
- ArrayList(Collection c)
- ArrayList(int capacity)
6) What are the types of Constructors of Java LinkedList?
There are two types of Constructors in Java LinkedList are:
- LinkedList()
- LinkedList(Collection c)
7) What is the difference between ArrayList and LinkedList in Java?
Difference between ArrayList and LinkedList are:
| ArrayList |
LinkedList |
| It uses dynamic array to store the elements |
It uses dynamic array to store the elements It uses doubly linked list to store the elements. |
| It is better for storing and accessing data. |
It is better for manipulating data. |
| Manipulation with ArrayList is slow |
Manipulation with LinkedList is faster |
8) What are the commonly used methods of Java List Interface?
Methods of Java List Interface:
- object get(int index)
- object remove(int index)
- ListIterator listIterator()
- void add(int index,Object element)
- object set(int index,Object element)
- ListIterator listIterator(int index)
- boolean addAll(int index,Collection c)

- TreeMap(Map m)
- TreeMap(SortedMap sm)
- TreeMap(Comparator comp)
11) Which methods you need to override to use any object as key in HashMap ?
equals() and hashCode() method.
12) What is the difference between HashMap and Hashtable in Java?
Difference between HashMap and Hashtable are:
| HashMap |
