Stack Overflow Questions
What are the differences between these two data structures and where should you use each of them?
Is there really that much of a difference between the performance of Vectors and ArrayLists? Is it good practice to use ArrayLists at all times when thread safety isn't an issue?
I keep hearing the statement on most programming related sites: Program to an interface and not to an Implementation However I don't understand the implications? Examples would help. EDIT: I have received a lot of good answers even so could you'll supplement it with some snippets of code for a better understanding of the subject. Thanks!
Why does the classic implementation of Vector (ArrayList for Java people) double its internal array size on each expansion instead of tripling or quadrupling it?
One meme that gets stressed with Java development is always use ArrayList over Vector. Vector is deprecated. That may be true, but Vector and Hashtable have the advantage that they are synchronized. I am working with a heavily concurrent oriented application, wouldn't it benefit to use objects that are synchronized like Vector? It seems that they have their place?
Offending bit of code Vector moves = new Vector(); moves.add(new Integer(x)); Error: ConnectFour.java:82: warning: [unchecked] unchecked call to add(E) as a member of the raw type java.util.Vector moves.add(new Integer(x)); Not really sure how much info is needed for an error like this....
Assume you need to store/retrieve items in a Collection, don't care about ordering, and duplicates are allowed, what type of Collection do you use? By default, I've always used ArrayList, but I remember reading/hearing somewhere that a Queue implementation may be a better choice. A List allows items to be added/retrieved/removed at arbitrary positions, which incurs a performance penalty. As a ...
I cant find any sorting function in the java API for vectors. Collections.sort is only for List and not for Vector I dont want to write my own sorting algo because I think java should implement this Im looking for something like, class ClassName implements Comparator ... ClassName cn; sort(cn);
I saw the following program on the internet public class Test1{ public static void main(String[] args) { Integer int1 = new Integer(10); Vector vec1 = new Vector(); LinkedList list = new LinkedList(); vec1.add(int1); list.add(int1); if(vec1.equals(list)) System.out.println("equal"); else System.out.println("not equal"); } } The answer it print is "equal". How it is possible? ...
I know we have to use AWT thread for all table model update operations. Under the single AWT thread, any table model will be thread-safe. Why DefaultTableModel picks thread-safe Vector as its data stucture, which slower than other data structures like ArrayList?
How to convert a vector to a list?
How to convert Vector with string to String array in java?
So I have this really large method I wrote. If it's given a stack, it will return a stack. If it's given a queue, it will return a queue. It uses a lot of recursion, and it accepts a queue/stack and returns that same queue/stack modified accordingly. I don't want to copy/paste my method just so I can change the type used inside, so is there any way I can make this generic? As in, it will accep...
I want to know why we always use Sorting algorithm like (Insertion Sort or Merge Sort,...) just for lists and arrays? And why we do not use these algorithms for stack or queue?
I am writing a BFS and DFS in Java. What I was hoping to do was create one class like this: /** Preforms BFS and DFS on ... */ public class Search{ private XXX toSearch; // where XXX is an interface of Stack and LinkedList that has // remove() and add() methods. public Search(boolean isBFS){ if(isBFS) toSearch = new LinkedList(); else toSearch = new Stack(); ...

How can I convert in the quickest way String[] to Vector<String>?
So I would like to start out by telling you that I am learning Java on my own and you guys are the nearest thing I have to teachers. So thank you so much for putting up with my simple and obvious question. I am just trying to learn. Once again I am getting an error that for the life of me I cannot figure out.

Possible Duplicate: How to convert List<Integer> to int[] in Java? Is there some method to convert a Vector< Integer> to an int[]? Thanks
I'm new to Java. Which is more efficient for Vectors -- clear() or removeAllElements(). I would guess removeAllElements since it leaves the capacity unchanged (doesn't release memory) whereas clear() releases memory. Depending on the application, either may be desirable. I would appreciate some input. Thanks.
I'm working on my second year project and I'm nearly finished, but I've got a problem. I have a table set up in Oracle that holds user names, recipients, and messages. I wanted to make a contacts list for sending messages that would take the user names and put them into a swing jlist but i cant figure out how. I thought maybe if I put the usernames into an array from the SQL it'd be easier ...

The Vector class implements a growable array of objects. Like an array, it contains components that can be accessed using an integer index. However, the size of a Vector can grow or shrink as needed to accommodate adding and removing items after the Vector has been created.

Each vector tries to optimize storage management by maintaining a capacity and a capacityIncrement. The capacity is always at least as large as the vector size; it is usually larger because as components are added to the vector, the vector's storage increases in chunks the size of capacityIncrement. An application can increase the capacity of a vector before inserting a large number of components; this reduces the amount of incremental reallocation.

The iterators returned by this class's iterator and listIterator methods are fail-fast: if the vector is structurally modified at any time after the iterator is created, in any way except through the iterator's own remove or add methods, the iterator will throw a ConcurrentModificationException. Thus, in the face of concurrent modification, the iterator fails quickly and cleanly, rather than risking arbitrary, non-deterministic behavior at an undetermined time in the future. The Enumerations returned by the elements method are not fail-fast.

Note that the fail-fast behavior of an iterator cannot be guaranteed as it is, generally speaking, impossible to make any hard guarantees in the presence of unsynchronized concurrent modification. Fail-fast iterators throw ConcurrentModificationException on a best-effort basis. Therefore, it would be wrong to write a program that depended on this exception for its correctness: the fail-fast behavior of iterators should be used only to detect bugs.

As of the Java 2 platform v1.2, this class was retrofitted to implement the List interface, making it a member of the Java Collections Framework. Unlike the new collection implementations, Vector is synchronized.

  {
    
The array buffer into which the components of the vector are stored. The capacity of the vector is the length of this array buffer, and is at least large enough to contain all the vector's elements.

Any array elements following the last element in the Vector are null.

Serial:
  
      protected Object[] elementData;

    
The number of valid components in this Vector object. Components elementData[0] through elementData[elementCount-1] are the actual items.

Serial:
 
     protected int elementCount;

    
The amount by which the capacity of the vector is automatically incremented when its size becomes greater than its capacity. If the capacity increment is less than or equal to zero, the capacity of the vector is doubled each time it needs to grow.

Serial:
 
     protected int capacityIncrement;

Constructs an empty vector with the specified initial capacity and capacity increment.

Parameters:
initialCapacity the initial capacity of the vector
capacityIncrement the amount by which the capacity is increased when the vector overflows
Throws:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException if the specified initial capacity is negative
 
     public Vector(int initialCapacityint capacityIncrement) {
         super();
         if (initialCapacity < 0)
             throw new IllegalArgumentException("Illegal Capacity: "+
                                                initialCapacity);
         this. = new Object[initialCapacity];
         this. = capacityIncrement;
     }

    
Constructs an empty vector with the specified initial capacity and with its capacity increment equal to zero.

Parameters:
initialCapacity the initial capacity of the vector
Throws:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException if the specified initial capacity is negative
 
     public Vector(int initialCapacity) {
         this(initialCapacity, 0);
     }

    
Constructs an empty vector so that its internal data array has size 10 and its standard capacity increment is zero.
 
     public Vector() {
         this(10);
     }

    
Constructs a vector containing the elements of the specified collection, in the order they are returned by the collection's iterator.

Parameters:
c the collection whose elements are to be placed into this vector
Throws:
java.lang.NullPointerException if the specified collection is null
Since:
1.2
 
     public Vector(Collection<? extends E> c) {
          = c.toArray();
          = .;
         // c.toArray might (incorrectly) not return Object[] (see 6260652)
         if (.getClass() != Object[].class)
              = Arrays.copyOf(Object[].class);
     }

    
Copies the components of this vector into the specified array. The item at index k in this vector is copied into component k of anArray.

Parameters:
anArray the array into which the components get copied
Throws:
java.lang.NullPointerException if the given array is null
java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException if the specified array is not large enough to hold all the components of this vector
java.lang.ArrayStoreException if a component of this vector is not of a runtime type that can be stored in the specified array
See also:
toArray(java.lang.Object[])
 
     public synchronized void copyInto(Object[] anArray) {
         System.arraycopy(, 0, anArray, 0, );
     }

    
Trims the capacity of this vector to be the vector's current size. If the capacity of this vector is larger than its current size, then the capacity is changed to equal the size by replacing its internal data array, kept in the field elementData, with a smaller one. An application can use this operation to minimize the storage of a vector.
 
     public synchronized void trimToSize() {
         ++;
         int oldCapacity = .;
         if ( < oldCapacity) {
              = Arrays.copyOf();
         }
     }

    
Increases the capacity of this vector, if necessary, to ensure that it can hold at least the number of components specified by the minimum capacity argument.

If the current capacity of this vector is less than minCapacity, then its capacity is increased by replacing its internal data array, kept in the field elementData, with a larger one. The size of the new data array will be the old size plus capacityIncrement, unless the value of capacityIncrement is less than or equal to zero, in which case the new capacity will be twice the old capacity; but if this new size is still smaller than minCapacity, then the new capacity will be minCapacity.

Parameters:
minCapacity the desired minimum capacity
 
     public synchronized void ensureCapacity(int minCapacity) {
         ++;
         ensureCapacityHelper(minCapacity);
     }

    
This implements the unsynchronized semantics of ensureCapacity. Synchronized methods in this class can internally call this method for ensuring capacity without incurring the cost of an extra synchronization.

 
     private void ensureCapacityHelper(int minCapacity) {
         int oldCapacity = .;
         if (minCapacity > oldCapacity) {
             Object[] oldData = ;
             int newCapacity = ( > 0) ?
                 (oldCapacity + ) : (oldCapacity * 2);
             if (newCapacity < minCapacity) {
                 newCapacity = minCapacity;
             }
              = Arrays.copyOf(newCapacity);
         }
     }

    
Sets the size of this vector. If the new size is greater than the current size, new null items are added to the end of the vector. If the new size is less than the current size, all components at index newSize and greater are discarded.

Parameters:
newSize the new size of this vector
Throws:
java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException if the new size is negative
 
     public synchronized void setSize(int newSize) {
         ++;
         if (newSize > ) {
             ensureCapacityHelper(newSize);
         } else {
             for (int i = newSize ; i <  ; i++) {
                 [i] = null;
             }
         }
          = newSize;
     }

    
Returns the current capacity of this vector.

Returns:
the current capacity (the length of its internal data array, kept in the field elementData of this vector)
 
     public synchronized int capacity() {
         return .;
     }

    
Returns the number of components in this vector.

Returns:
the number of components in this vector
 
     public synchronized int size() {
         return ;
     }

    
Tests if this vector has no components.

Returns:
true if and only if this vector has no components, that is, its size is zero; false otherwise.
 
     public synchronized boolean isEmpty() {
         return  == 0;
     }

    
Returns an enumeration of the components of this vector. The returned Enumeration object will generate all items in this vector. The first item generated is the item at index 0, then the item at index 1, and so on.

Returns:
an enumeration of the components of this vector
See also:

     public Enumeration<E> elements() {
         return new Enumeration<E>() {
             int count = 0;

                 return  < ;
             }
 
             public E nextElement() {
                 synchronized (Vector.this) {

                         return elementData(++);
                     }
                 }
                 throw new NoSuchElementException("Vector Enumeration");
             }
         };
     }

                 if (o.equals([i]))
                     return i;
         }
         return -1;
     }

    
Returns the index of the last occurrence of the specified element in this vector, or -1 if this vector does not contain the element. More formally, returns the highest index i such that (o==null ? get(i)==null : o.equals(get(i))), or -1 if there is no such index.

Parameters:

     public synchronized int lastIndexOf(Object o) {
         return lastIndexOf(o-1);
     }

    
Returns the index of the last occurrence of the specified element in this vector, searching backwards from index, or returns -1 if the element is not found. More formally, returns the highest index i such that (i <= index && (o==null ? get(i)==null : o.equals(get(i)))), or -1 if there is no such index.

                 if (o.equals([i]))
                     return i;
         }
         return -1;
     }

    
Returns the component at the specified index.

This method is identical in functionality to the get(int) method (which is part of the List interface).

Parameters:
index an index into this vector
Returns:
the component at the specified index
Throws:
java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException if the index is out of range (index < 0 || index >= size())
 
     public synchronized E elementAt(int index) {
         if (index >= ) {
             throw new ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException(index + " >= " + );
         }
 
         return elementData(index);
     }

    
Returns the first component (the item at index 0) of this vector.

Returns:
the first component of this vector
Throws:
NoSuchElementException if this vector has no components
 
     public synchronized E firstElement() {
         if ( == 0) {
             throw new NoSuchElementException();
         }
         return elementData(0);
     }

    
Returns the last component of the vector.

Returns:
the last component of the vector, i.e., the component at index size() - 1.
Throws:
NoSuchElementException if this vector is empty
 
     public synchronized E lastElement() {
         if ( == 0) {
             throw new NoSuchElementException();
         }
         return elementData( - 1);
     }

    
Sets the component at the specified index of this vector to be the specified object. The previous component at that position is discarded.

The index must be a value greater than or equal to 0 and less than the current size of the vector.

This method is identical in functionality to the set(int, E) method (which is part of the List interface). Note that the set method reverses the order of the parameters, to more closely match array usage. Note also that the set method returns the old value that was stored at the specified position.

Parameters:
obj what the component is to be set to
index the specified index
Throws:
java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException if the index is out of range (index < 0 || index >= size())
 
     public synchronized void setElementAt(E objint index) {
         if (index >= ) {
             throw new ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException(index + " >= " +
                                                      );
         }
         [index] = obj;
     }

    
Deletes the component at the specified index. Each component in this vector with an index greater or equal to the specified index is shifted downward to have an index one smaller than the value it had previously. The size of this vector is decreased by 1.

The index must be a value greater than or equal to 0 and less than the current size of the vector.

This method is identical in functionality to the remove(int) method (which is part of the List interface). Note that the remove method returns the old value that was stored at the specified position.

Parameters:
index the index of the object to remove
Throws:
java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException if the index is out of range (index < 0 || index >= size())
 
     public synchronized void removeElementAt(int index) {
         ++;
         if (index >= ) {
             throw new ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException(index + " >= " +
                                                      );
         }
         else if (index < 0) {
             throw new ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException(index);
         }
         int j =  - index - 1;
         if (j > 0) {
             System.arraycopy(index + 1, indexj);
         }
         --;
         [] = null/* to let gc do its work */
     }

    
Inserts the specified object as a component in this vector at the specified index. Each component in this vector with an index greater or equal to the specified index is shifted upward to have an index one greater than the value it had previously.

The index must be a value greater than or equal to 0 and less than or equal to the current size of the vector. (If the index is equal to the current size of the vector, the new element is appended to the Vector.)

This method is identical in functionality to the add(int, E) method (which is part of the List interface). Note that the add method reverses the order of the parameters, to more closely match array usage.

Parameters:
obj the component to insert
index where to insert the new component
Throws:
java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException if the index is out of range (index < 0 || index > size())
 
     public synchronized void insertElementAt(E objint index) {
         ++;
         if (index > ) {
             throw new ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException(index
                                                      + " > " + );
         }
         ensureCapacityHelper( + 1);
         System.arraycopy(indexindex + 1,  - index);
         [index] = obj;
         ++;
     }

    
Adds the specified component to the end of this vector, increasing its size by one. The capacity of this vector is increased if its size becomes greater than its capacity.

This method is identical in functionality to the add(E) method (which is part of the List interface).

Parameters:
obj the component to be added
 
     public synchronized void addElement(E obj) {
         ++;
         ensureCapacityHelper( + 1);
         [++] = obj;
     }

    
Removes the first (lowest-indexed) occurrence of the argument from this vector. If the object is found in this vector, each component in the vector with an index greater or equal to the object's index is shifted downward to have an index one smaller than the value it had previously.

This method is identical in functionality to the remove(java.lang.Object) method (which is part of the List interface).

Parameters:
obj the component to be removed
Returns:
true if the argument was a component of this vector; false otherwise.
 
     public synchronized boolean removeElement(Object obj) {
         ++;
         int i = indexOf(obj);
         if (i >= 0) {
             removeElementAt(i);
             return true;
         }
         return false;
     }

    
Removes all components from this vector and sets its size to zero.

This method is identical in functionality to the clear() method (which is part of the List interface).

 
     public synchronized void removeAllElements() {
         ++;
         // Let gc do its work
         for (int i = 0; i < i++)
             [i] = null;
 
          = 0;
     }

    
Returns a clone of this vector. The copy will contain a reference to a clone of the internal data array, not a reference to the original internal data array of this Vector object.

Returns:
a clone of this vector
 
     public synchronized Object clone() {
         try {
             @SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
                 Vector<E> v = (Vector<E>) super.clone();
             v.elementData = Arrays.copyOf();
             v.modCount = 0;
             return v;
         } catch (CloneNotSupportedException e) {
             // this shouldn't happen, since we are Cloneable
             throw new InternalError();

Returns an array containing all of the elements in this Vector in the correct order.

Since:
1.2
 
     public synchronized Object[] toArray() {
         return Arrays.copyOf();
     }

    
Returns an array containing all of the elements in this Vector in the correct order; the runtime type of the returned array is that of the specified array. If the Vector fits in the specified array, it is returned therein. Otherwise, a new array is allocated with the runtime type of the specified array and the size of this Vector.

If the Vector fits in the specified array with room to spare (i.e., the array has more elements than the Vector), the element in the array immediately following the end of the Vector is set to null. (This is useful in determining the length of the Vector only if the caller knows that the Vector does not contain any null elements.)

Parameters:
a the array into which the elements of the Vector are to be stored, if it is big enough; otherwise, a new array of the same runtime type is allocated for this purpose.
Returns:
an array containing the elements of the Vector
Throws:
java.lang.ArrayStoreException if the runtime type of a is not a supertype of the runtime type of every element in this Vector
java.lang.NullPointerException if the given array is null

Removes the first occurrence of the specified element in this Vector If the Vector does not contain the element, it is unchanged. More formally, removes the element with the lowest index i such that (o==null ? get(i)==null : o.equals(get(i))) (if such an element exists).

Parameters:
o element to be removed from this Vector, if present
Returns:
true if the Vector contained the specified element
Since:
1.2
 
     public boolean remove(Object o) {
         return removeElement(o);
     }

    
Inserts the specified element at the specified position in this Vector. Shifts the element currently at that position (if any) and any subsequent elements to the right (adds one to their indices).

Parameters:
index index at which the specified element is to be inserted
element element to be inserted
Throws:
java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException if the index is out of range (index < 0 || index > size())

index the index of the element to be removed
Returns:
element that was removed

Returns true if this Vector contains all of the elements in the specified Collection.

Parameters:
c a collection whose elements will be tested for containment in this Vector
Returns:
true if this Vector contains all of the elements in the specified collection
Throws:
java.lang.NullPointerException if the specified collection is null
 
     public synchronized boolean containsAll(Collection<?> c) {
         return super.containsAll(c);
     }

    
Appends all of the elements in the specified Collection to the end of this Vector, in the order that they are returned by the specified Collection's Iterator. The behavior of this operation is undefined if the specified Collection is modified while the operation is in progress. (This implies that the behavior of this call is undefined if the specified Collection is this Vector, and this Vector is nonempty.)

Parameters:
c elements to be inserted into this Vector
Returns:
true if this Vector changed as a result of the call
Throws:
java.lang.NullPointerException if the specified collection is null

Removes from this Vector all of its elements that are contained in the specified Collection.

Parameters:
c a collection of elements to be removed from the Vector
Returns:
true if this Vector changed as a result of the call
Throws:
java.lang.ClassCastException if the types of one or more elements in this vector are incompatible with the specified collection (optional)
java.lang.NullPointerException if this vector contains one or more null elements and the specified collection does not support null elements (optional), or if the specified collection is null
Since:

     public synchronized boolean removeAll(Collection<?> c) {
         return super.removeAll(c);
     }

    
Retains only the elements in this Vector that are contained in the specified Collection. In other words, removes from this Vector all of its elements that are not contained in the specified Collection.

Parameters:
c a collection of elements to be retained in this Vector (all other elements are removed)
Returns:
true if this Vector changed as a result of the call
Throws:
java.lang.ClassCastException if the types of one or more elements in this vector are incompatible with the specified collection (optional)
java.lang.NullPointerException if this vector contains one or more null elements and the specified collection does not support null elements (optional), or if the specified collection is null
Since:
1.2
 
     public synchronized boolean retainAll(Collection<?> c)  {
         return super.retainAll(c);
     }

    
Inserts all of the elements in the specified Collection into this Vector at the specified position. Shifts the element currently at that position (if any) and any subsequent elements to the right (increases their indices). The new elements will appear in the Vector in the order that they are returned by the specified Collection's iterator.

Parameters:
index index at which to insert the first element from the specified collection
c elements to be inserted into this Vector
Returns:
true if this Vector changed as a result of the call
Throws:
java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException if the index is out of range (index < 0 || index > size())
java.lang.NullPointerException if the specified collection is null
Since:
1.2
 
     public synchronized boolean addAll(int indexCollection<? extends E> c) {
         ++;
         if (index < 0 || index > )
             throw new ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException(index);
 
         Object[] a = c.toArray();
         int numNew = a.length;
         ensureCapacityHelper( + numNew);
 
         int numMoved =  - index;
         if (numMoved > 0)
             System.arraycopy(indexindex + numNew,
                              numMoved);

          += numNew;
         return numNew != 0;
     }

    
Compares the specified Object with this Vector for equality. Returns true if and only if the specified Object is also a List, both Lists have the same size, and all corresponding pairs of elements in the two Lists are equal. (Two elements e1 and e2 are equal if (e1==null ? e2==null : e1.equals(e2)).) In other words, two Lists are defined to be equal if they contain the same elements in the same order.

Parameters:
o the Object to be compared for equality with this Vector
Returns:
true if the specified Object is equal to this Vector
 
     public synchronized boolean equals(Object o) {
         return super.equals(o);
     }

    
Returns the hash code value for this Vector.
 
     public synchronized int hashCode() {
         return super.hashCode();
     }

    
Returns a string representation of this Vector, containing the String representation of each element.
 
     public synchronized String toString() {
         return super.toString();
     }

    
Returns a view of the portion of this List between fromIndex, inclusive, and toIndex, exclusive. (If fromIndex and toIndex are equal, the returned List is empty.) The returned List is backed by this List, so changes in the returned List are reflected in this List, and vice-versa. The returned List supports all of the optional List operations supported by this List.

This method eliminates the need for explicit range operations (of the sort that commonly exist for arrays). Any operation that expects a List can be used as a range operation by operating on a subList view instead of a whole List. For example, the following idiom removes a range of elements from a List:

      list.subList(from, to).clear();
 
Similar idioms may be constructed for indexOf and lastIndexOf, and all of the algorithms in the Collections class can be applied to a subList.

The semantics of the List returned by this method become undefined if the backing list (i.e., this List) is structurally modified in any way other than via the returned List. (Structural modifications are those that change the size of the List, or otherwise perturb it in such a fashion that iterations in progress may yield incorrect results.)

Parameters:
fromIndex low endpoint (inclusive) of the subList
toIndex high endpoint (exclusive) of the subList
Returns:
a view of the specified range within this List
Throws:
java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException if an endpoint index value is out of range (fromIndex < 0 || toIndex > size)
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException if the endpoint indices are out of order (fromIndex > toIndex)
    public synchronized List<E> subList(int fromIndexint toIndex) {
        return Collections.synchronizedList(super.subList(fromIndextoIndex),
                                            this);
    }

    
Removes from this list all of the elements whose index is between fromIndex, inclusive, and toIndex, exclusive. Shifts any succeeding elements to the left (reduces their index). This call shortens the list by (toIndex - fromIndex) elements. (If toIndex==fromIndex, this operation has no effect.)
    protected synchronized void removeRange(int fromIndexint toIndex) {
        ++;
        int numMoved =  - toIndex;
        System.arraycopy(toIndexfromIndex,
                         numMoved);
        // Let gc do its work
        int newElementCount =  - (toIndex-fromIndex);
        while ( != newElementCount)
            [--] = null;
    }

    
Save the state of the Vector instance to a stream (that is, serialize it). This method is present merely for synchronization. It just calls the default writeObject method.
    private synchronized void writeObject(java.io.ObjectOutputStream s)
        throws java.io.IOException
    {
        s.defaultWriteObject();
    }

    
Returns a list iterator over the elements in this list (in proper sequence), starting at the specified position in the list. The specified index indicates the first element that would be returned by an initial call to next. An initial call to previous would return the element with the specified index minus one.

The returned list iterator is fail-fast.

    public synchronized ListIterator<E> listIterator(int index) {
        if (index < 0 || index > )
            throw new IndexOutOfBoundsException("Index: "+index);
        return new ListItr(index);
    }

    
Returns a list iterator over the elements in this list (in proper sequence).

The returned list iterator is fail-fast.

    public synchronized ListIterator<E> listIterator() {
        return new ListItr(0);
    }

    
Returns an iterator over the elements in this list in proper sequence.

The returned iterator is fail-fast.
