Flashcards

Collections Class

A utility class in Java that provides methods for working with collections, like sorting and shuffling the elements within them.

Generics

A feature in Java that allows you to write classes and methods that can work with any data type without specifying the type explicitly, providing flexibility and type safety.

Iterator Interface

An interface in Java that allows you to iterate over elements in a collection, one by one. It's also used for custom sorting in data structures like TreeSet and TreeMap.

List Interface

An interface in the Java Collections framework that allows elements to be added in any order and can contain duplicate elements.

HashSet Class

A class in the Java Collections framework that stores elements using a hash table. It doesn't allow duplicate elements, as each element is mapped to a unique hash value.

Queue Interface

An interface in the Java Collections framework designed to store elements before processing them. Elements are added to the back and removed from the front, following a First-In, First-Out (FIFO) principle.

TreeSet Class

A class in the Java Collections framework that implements the Set interface and uses a red-black tree data structure to store elements. Elements are automatically sorted, and duplicates are not allowed.
