Can not figure this program out for my programming class need an example please and thank you
Array lists are objects that, like arrays, provide you the ability to store items sequentially and recall items by index. Working with array lists involves invoking ArrayList methods, so we will need to develop some basic skills. Let’s start with the code below:
The main method imports java.util.ArrayList and creates an ArrayList that can hold strings. It also prints out the ArrayList and, when it does, we see that the list is empty: [ ].
Complete the following tasks by adding code to this skeleton program. If you are asked to print a value, provide a suitable label to identify it when it is printed.
a) Invoke add() to enter the following names in sequence: Alice, Bob, Connie, David, Edward, Fran, Gomez, Harry. Print the ArrayList again.
b) Use get() to retrieve and print the first and last names.
c) Print the size() of the ArrayList.
d) Use size() to help you print the last name in the list.
e) Use set() to change “Alice” to “Alice B. Toklas”. Print the ArrayList to verify the change.
f) Use the alternate form of add() to insert “Doug” after “David”. Print the ArrayList again.
g) Use an enhanced for loop to print each name in the ArrayList.
h) Create a second ArrayList called names2 that is built by calling the ArrayList constructor that accepts another ArrayList as an argument. Pass names to the constructor to build names2. Then print the ArrayList.
i) Call names.remove(0) to remove the first element. Print names and names2. Verify that Alice B. Toklas was removed from names, but not from names2.
Explanation / Answer
ArrayListRunner.java
import java.util.ArrayList;
public class ArrayListRunner
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
ArrayList<String> names = new ArrayList<String>();
System.out.println(names);
names.add("Alice");
names.add("Bob");
names.add("Connie");
names.add("David");
names.add("Edward");
names.add("Fran");
names.add("Gomez");
names.add("Harry");
System.out.println(names);
System.out.println("First Name: "+names.get(0)+" Last Name: "+names.get(names.size()-1));
System.out.println("Size: "+names.size());
System.out.println("Last Name: "+names.get(names.size()-1));
names.set(0, "Alice B. Toklas");
names.add(4,"Doug");
System.out.println(names);
for(String s:names) {
System.out.println(s);
}
ArrayList<String> names2 = new ArrayList<String>(names);
System.out.println(names2);
names.remove(0);
System.out.println(names);
System.out.println(names2);
}
}
Output:
[]
[Alice, Bob, Connie, David, Edward, Fran, Gomez, Harry]
First Name: Alice Last Name: Harry
Size: 8
Last Name: Harry
[Alice B. Toklas, Bob, Connie, David, Doug, Edward, Fran, Gomez, Harry]
Alice B. Toklas
Bob
Connie
David
Doug
Edward
Fran
Gomez
Harry
[Alice B. Toklas, Bob, Connie, David, Doug, Edward, Fran, Gomez, Harry]
[Bob, Connie, David, Doug, Edward, Fran, Gomez, Harry]
[Alice B. Toklas, Bob, Connie, David, Doug, Edward, Fran, Gomez, Harry]
