  • Both of the advantages of ArrayList and LinkedList are needed.

    Hi there,
    I wonder how if I want performance on random access an ArrayList and also remove elements in any position of the List? As far as I know that a LinkedList is the best choice if I want to remove elements in any position of the List, but it's slow on traversing the List. Sometimes it's hard to choose between ArrayList and LinkedList, is there a way that I could have both advantages of ArrayList and LinkedList?
    Any suggestion?
    Thanks,
    Jax

    I think you might be interested in the data structure
    called a deque. It is built for fast insertions
    at both ends and is usually implemented as a linked
    list of arrays. The standard collections API does not
    offer this data structure (I wish it did). So you have
    to find a 3rd party implementation. Try searching
    Google: http://www.google.com/search?q=java+deque
    Thanks nasch and pervel for the information. What do you think if I do something like this?
    List a = new ArrayList();
    // perform some tasks that is fast with ArrayList
    List b = new LinkedList(a);
    // perform some tasks..
    Although a new object is created, but that perform better than one ArrayList or one LinkedList solely.

  • Differece between ArrayList and LinkedList

    Differece between ArrayList and LinkedList

    An array list is implemented as an array. A LinkedList is implemented as a series of separate nodes linked by references.
    Although they both support the same methods, that has performance implications. Linked lists are better at inserting and deleting arbitary elements, but are slow to reference an element by index.

  • Design choice between ArrayList and LinkedList

    Can someone clarify me which is better suited (efficient) for use?
    It appears to me that both can be used very much interchangeably at least from functionality point of view. :(

    Using the following code (and I'm sure someone will come nitpicking about it) I get the (expected, at least by me from prior experience) result that iteration over a LinkedList is about twice as fast as iteration over an ArrayList, but lookup operations on an ArrayList are substantially faster:
    package jtw.test;
    import java.util.*;
    public class SpeedTest {
        public static void main(String... args) throws Exception {
            List<Integer> linked = new LinkedList<Integer>();
            List<Integer> arr = new ArrayList<Integer>();
            for (int i = 0; i < 1e3; i++) {
                linked.add(i);
                arr.add(i);
            long r = 0;
            Date startLinked = new Date();
            for (int i = 0; i < 1e3; i++) {
                for (Integer q: linked) {
                     r += q;
            Date stopLinked = new Date();
            System.out.println("Total: " + r);
            r = 0;
            Date startArr = new Date();
            for (int i = 0; i < 1e3; i++) {
                for (Integer q: arr) {
                     r += q;
            Date stopArr = new Date();
            System.out.println("Total: " + r);
            System.out.println("LinkedList iteration: " + startLinked + " to " + stopLinked + " took " + (stopLinked.getTime() - startLinked.getTime()));
            System.out.println(" ArrayList iteration: " + startArr + " to " + stopArr + " took " + (stopArr.getTime() - startArr.getTime()));
             r = 0;
            startLinked = new Date();
            for (int i = 0; i < 1e3; i++) {
                for (int j = 999; j >= 0; j--) {
                     r += linked.get(j);
            stopLinked = new Date();
            System.out.println("Total: " + r);
            r = 0;
            startArr = new Date();
            for (int i = 0; i < 1e3; i++) {
                for (int j = 999; j >= 0; j--) {
                     r += arr.get(j);
            stopArr = new Date();
            System.out.println("Total: " + r);
            System.out.println("LinkedList lookup: " + startLinked + " to " + stopLinked + " took " + (stopLinked.getTime() - startLinked.getTime()));
            System.out.println(" ArrayList lookup: " + startArr + " to " + stopArr + " took " + (stopArr.getTime() - startArr.getTime()));
    }Gets the result:

  • When to choose JSP and When to choose Servlet in Web Application

    Hi,
    I know that using JSP over servlet has only one advantage like for huge Application you can devide presentation layer from business logic. Is there any other advantage.
    Also, if anyone can tell me how to handle FTP request in Servlet as HttpServlet supports only HTTP.
    Thanks.
    Subs

    Depends on what you're rying to accomplish. If you want to generate a bunch of HTML then JSP is the way to go. If you just want to extend the server (i.e. add functionality that isn't specific to any one screen of your application), then Servlets are the way to go.
    Additionaly, if you have a lot of HTML forms, and want to do it right, check out Struts. This would be the case if you wanted to both extend the server and generate HTML. It's an MVC framework available from Jakarta. It's fairly tried and true at this point. It makes it very easy to maintain, extend, and develop with. It also comes with a wealth of custom tag libraries out of the box. I have developed two projects with it so far and find it a pleasure to work with.

  • Which is better? ArrayList or LinkedList

    Do you know which one is better between ArrayList and LinkdedList in terms of performance, speed and capacity?
    Which one do you suggest to use ?
    Thanks

    It depends upon how the list is going to be used. ArrayLists and LinkedLists work differently -- you need to think about how they each store their data.
    ArrayLists store their list items in, well, arrays. This makes them very fast at addressing those items by index #. So any implementation that needs a lot of random access to the list, such as sorting, is going to be relatively fast.
    The downside of storing the list in an array presents itself when it comes time to add more items to the list. When it runs out of space in the array, it must create a new larger array and copy the items over to it. Also, if you need to insert or remove an item anywhere other than the end of the list, ArrayList must shift the subsequent items in the list by doing an array copy.
    This can be a real drag if you're implementing a queue. This is where LinkedList shines. Each item in the list points to the next and previous ones in the list. Inserting, appending or removing list items involves a couple simple assignment statements. No reallocations or large memory copies are involved. Access is easy as long as it is sequential.
    Random access in a linked list is problematic however. In order to get to the Nth item in the list, LinkedList must start with the first item in the list and step through the list N-1 times. An order of magnitude slower than using an ArrayList.

  • Occasional grey screen when switching between SL and Windows

    Hi folks,
    I set up my new Mac Mini to dual-boot with Windows XP using boot camp. Sometimes when I switch from one to the other the system hangs on a grey screen and I have to shut down using the power button. This happens both when I choose restart and hold down the options (alt) tab and when I use system preferences and choose the boot drive from the menu. This is my config:
    Mac Mini 2009 with 120GB HDD and 2GB RAM, running Snow Leopard and WindowsXP, Microsoft Natural Curve Keyboard 2000 and Logitech Optical mouse (both USB),
    HP 1310 AIO inkjet printer. I am networked to an HP 1320tn laserjet printer and an NAS that is formatted to FAT32. Everything works.
    Additionally, I have an external drive (2.5" HDD) that connects to the back of the Mini using two USB cables for power. I'm pretty sure I have the external drive formatted to FAT32 because both operating systems can see the contents.
    I am wondering if the external drive is sometimes confusing the bootloader (or whatever it's called in the Mac world) and is the source of my problems. I am open to suggestions.
    Thanks in advance,
    Bryan

    Well, I eliminated one problem: the external HDD was indeed formatted NTFS. I just installed a new external HDD formatted FAT32, connected by firewire, so I was able to take one USB device out of the system (and free up two USB ports). So far the computer is booting properly with no hangs and I am able to access, read, and modify documents from the ext drive when I am in SL.
    Also, just for giggles, I ordered an Apple keyboard to further reduce incompatability risks (and to get the Apple shortcut keys. However, I am not parting with my Logitech mouse: must have two buttons.
    We'll see if the problems occurs again.

  • When to choose oracle

    Hi
    I don’t know whether I can start this thread in this forum, but nevertheless I think I can get a better clarity from the experts, when I was googling to know the advantages of oracle over teradata and vice versa, I happened to see some articles, but most of them were written by peoples Who are biased with their own technology, I couldn’t get a fair idea , so it would be helpful for me if anyone could share their experience who had seen both the positives and negatives of both these database .
    My questions are.
    1.when to choose oracle and when to choose teradata
    2.What are the major architectural differences between oracle and teradata, that makes one better than the other

    You might find this article interesting,
    Teradata and Oracle Partner for Enterprise Analytics
    http://www.dashboardinsight.com/news/teradata-and-oracle-partner-for-enterprise-analytics.aspx
    Well since you have read both sides of the story you can make your own judgement based on the articles. I suppose these articles from both sides will lists the pros/cons compare to their competitor and vice versa. You can gather these pros/cons and compose your own list and make smart decision.
    Not knowing much about the technology of Teradata, my comments here is again biased. As the name suggested, TeraData has some strength on DataWare house territory, on most other parts I believe Oracle has an edge. Don't forget Oracle has survived fiercy competition from Sybase and Informix and dominate the market for over a decade.

    After a week's worth of debugging, I found the issue.
    The Java type returned from the call was defined as ArrayList.  Changing it to List resolved the problem.
    I'm not sure why ArrayList isn't a valid return type, I've been looking at the Adobe docs, and still can't see why this isn't valid.  And, why it works in Debug mode and not in Release build is even stranger.  Maybe someone can shed some light on the logic here to me.

  • I hace a comcast e-mail account and when I click a "contact us" link on a web site a pop-up asks me to choose an application but when I choose firefox nothing happens How can I make the links open my Comast e-mail?

    "Contact us" links on web sites open a box that says "This link needs to be opened with an application. Send to:" My only e-mail account is through my Comcast.net account but Comcast is not an option. When I choose Firefox, which is an option, a new blank window opens but I have no idea how to generate an outgoing e-mail message. This is very frustrating because I cannot seem to find any help with this issue and i seem to be precluded from e-mailing numerous organizations because of this. I do not want to create a new gmail or other type of e-mail account if I can help it. I already have enough accounts and passwords to try and keep a handle on.

    Comcast online email is considered '''web mail''' so you need to scroll down that support page to the web mail section.

    On my iPad, I'm trying to open a PDF from Safari with iBooks, but when I choose "Open with ..." in Safari, only Pages and Dropbox show as options.  I'm running iOS 7.1.2 and iBooks 3.2.  I have rebooted the iPad and that did not help, and reinstalled iBooks, which also changed nothing.  Thanks for any ideas!

    Yup, it was uploaded to our school Wiki as a PDF, and Pages did open it.  I was then able to move it to iBooks, but I'd rather avoid the extra steps.
