What are the differences between ArrayList and LinkedList in real time?
When we are going for ArrayList?

Go through the Link;

when you access an indexed value as faster and random access elements (to get the n value)

you go to Array List

[DarrylBurke]

A LinkedList is similar to an ArrayList in that it is ordered by index position, but it differs in that the elements are double-linked to one another. This linkage gives you new mehtods for adding and removing from the beginning or end.

The ArrayList class offers quick access to individual elements of the list. This quick access comes at a cost of slower operations for adding and removing in the middle of the list. If this latter behavior is what you desire, than the LinkedList class offers a better alternative. It provides quick sequential access, additions, and deletes, at a cost of slower random access.
