About the Book
The Java platform's object-oriented nature is key to creating powerful, reusable code and applications that are easy to maintain and extend. To take advantage of these capabilities, you must not only master the syntax of the Java programming language but also gain a practical understanding of what objects are all about. More importantly, you must understand how to structure a Java technology
application from the ground up to make the most of objects.
About the Chapter
In Chapter 6, "Collections of Objects" (PDF), you'll learn about the following:
- The properties of three generic collection types: ordered lists, sets, and dictionaries
- The specifics of several different predefined Java collection types or classes, along with ways to represent and manipulate classic arrays in Java technology
- The ways that Java technology bundles together logically related classes into packages and ways to import packages to make use of the classes within them
- The ways that collections enable you to model sophisticated real-world concepts or situations
- Design techniques for inventing collection types
