Answer from AI
In Java, the main data structures are presented in the java.util package and include:
- List (e.g.,
ArrayList,LinkedList) — ordered collections that allow duplicates. - Set (e.g.,
HashSet,TreeSet) — collections of unique elements. - Map (e.g.,
HashMap,TreeMap) — collections of key-value pairs. - Queue (e.g.,
LinkedList,PriorityQueue) — collections for organizing queues. - Stack — a class for stack (although now
Dequeis more commonly used as a stack).
Each structure has its own performance characteristics and use cases. For example, ArrayList provides fast access by index, while LinkedList is convenient for frequent insertions and deletions.
