4. Java Collections Framework (Advanced

The Java Collections Framework (JCF) provides essential tools for managing groups of objects, enhancing their performance, maintainability, and scalability. Advanced concepts such as synchronization, immutability, and stream operations enable developers to create high-performance applications. Understanding the internal workings and features of collections, like custom sorting and concurrent collections, greatly enhances programming efficiency in enterprise environments.

What we have learnt

  • Java Collections are divided into List, Set, Queue/Deque, and Map interfaces.
  • Advanced features like synchronization and immutability are crucial for multi-threaded environments.
  • Utilizing comparators and generics enhances flexibility and type safety.

Key Concepts

-- List
An ordered collection that can contain duplicate elements.
-- Set
A collection that does not allow duplicate elements.
-- Map
A collection of key-value pairs where each key is unique.
-- Comparator
A functional interface used to define custom sorting for objects.
-- Concurrent Collections
Collections designed to handle concurrent access efficiently.
