Answer from AI

Main types of collection structures in Java and their implementations:

  • List — an ordered set of elements, allows duplicates.

    • ArrayList — based on an array, fast access by index.
    • LinkedList — doubly linked list, efficient insertions and deletions.
  • Set — a collection of unique elements, without a specific order.

    • HashSet — based on a hash table, fast search.
    • LinkedHashSet — preserves insertion order.
    • TreeSet — a sorted collection based on a tree.
  • Map — stores key-value pairs.

    • HashMap — fast access by key.
    • LinkedHashMap — preserves insertion order.
    • TreeMap — sorted by keys.
  • Queue — a collection for storing elements in processing order.

    • LinkedList — implements the Queue interface.
    • PriorityQueue — elements are extracted in order of priority.

Example of using ArrayList:

List<String> list = new ArrayList<>();
list.add("Hello");
list.add("World");
System.out.println(list.get(0)); // Will output "Hello"
