Chapter 2, Arrays | Chapter 9, Lists

The JDC is pleased to present two chapters from John Zukowski's book Java Collections, published by Apress.

About the Book

This practical book contains comprehensive coverage of the important Collection Library supplied with the Java 2 platform. Collections are now built into the Java 2 platform because they provide programmers with incredibly efficient ways to manipulate data. However, given the large number of possible functions and classes in this library, using them correctly is hardly a piece of cake. Zukowski gives the Java professional exactly what he or she needs to know.

About the Chapters

Chapter 2, "Arrays," presents many different ways to work with arrays beyond the simplest cases, including initialization, assignment, and reflection.

Chapter 9, "Lists," delves into the inner workings of the List interface and describes how to properly work with their concrete implementations: ArrayList and LinkedList. To demonstrate the use of lists, a working Thread Pool is provided.
