7.1 Intro to ArrayLists
An ArrayList is a utility from the
java.util
packageTo declare a variable, use the format
ArrayList<DataType> variableName = new ArrayList<DataType>(initial number of elements);
Unlike arrays, ArrayLists are mutable (can be resized after initialization)
Functions as a more versatile array
- Does technically take more space than an array but for the purposes of CSA it shouldn’t matter
- Does technically take more space than an array but for the purposes of CSA it shouldn’t matter
Difference between Array and Arraylist:
Array | Arraylist |
---|---|
Fixed length | Resizable length |
Fundamental Java Feature | Part of a Framework |
An object with no methods | A Class with many methods |
Not very flexible | Flexible |
Can store primitives | Cannot store primitives - stores objects instead |
Example of Array: Basketball players on court
Example of Arraylist: Dodgeball players on court
Question
When should we use ArrayLists vs Arrays?
Answer: Use them when the number of variables inside the list is changing in side, you use it.

Vocabulary Refresher
An element is a single value in the array
The **index** of an element is the position of the element in the array or ArrayList
- The first index of an ArrayList, like arrays is also 0
- The first index of an ArrayList, like arrays is also 0
The length of an array is the number of elements in the array.
7.2 Arraylist Methods
- add()
- Adding a value to the ArrayList
- Can be used to create an element at a specific index in the ArrayList - when this happens, everything at the positions of index and higher are moved to the right by 1
- get()
- Get the value of an index in the ArrayList
- set()
- Change the value at an index in the ArrayList
- remove()
- Delete the value at in index in the ArrayList
- clear()
- Remove all values in an ArrayList
- size()
- Get the length of the ArrayList

7.3 Traversing ArrayLists
You can traverse an ArrayList the same way as an array, with some exceptions:
- Deleting elements in the ArrayList while iterating over the ArrayList needs to be carefully done
- Using an enhanced for loop can result in the ConcurrentModificationException error
- Do not delete elements in an ArrayList while using an enhanced for loop

7.5 Searching
- Searching in an ArrayList allows you to find an element, if it exists, an index is returned
- All that is needed to search any linear structure is a standard for loop and if block
- Typically, if the element is not found then -1 is returned, however a boolean value can also be used

} else {
System.out.println(target + " not found in the ArrayList.");
}
}
}
LinearSearch.main(null);

15 found at index 2
- The linear search algorithm searches for a specific target value (15 in this example) within the ArrayList by iterating through its elements one by one
- It checks if the element at the current index (list.get(i)) is equal to the target value
- If a match is found, the index is returned; else, it continues the loop until the end of the ArrayList is reached

7.6 Sorting
- There are 2 main sorting algorithms that Collegeboard focuses on, selection sort and insertion sort
Selection sort
- Selection sort divides the ArrayList into two “subarrays,” the first is sorted and the second is unsorted.
- Selection sort is easy to implement and is useful for sorting through small datasets.

for (int j = i + 1; j < n; j++) {
if (arr.get(j) < arr.get(minIndex)) {
minIndex = j;
}
}
// Swap the found minimum element with the element at index i
int temp = arr.get(i);
arr.set(i, arr.get(minIndex));
arr.set(minIndex, temp);

}
}

Sorted ArrayList: [11, 12, 22, 25, 64]
Start with an ArrayList, [64, 25, 12, 22, 11]
We want to arrange these numbers in order from smallest to largest, like [11, 12, 22, 25, 64]
selectionSort starts at the beginning of the list and looks for the smallest number in the whole list. In this case, it’s 11
It swaps 11 with the first number in the list (which is 64) so that 11 comes first
Now, the list looks like [11, 25, 12, 22, 64]
The function repeats this process for the remaining numbers, finding the next smallest (which is 12) and putting it in the second position
This continues until all numbers are in order
The final sorted list is [11, 12, 22, 25, 64]
Insertion Sort
- In insertion sort, we assume that the first element is already sorted
- The second element is then taken and is either inserted before the first element or kept in place to make the first 2 elements sorted
- Insertion sort is adaptive as it does not need to perform as many comparisons and swaps as selection sort. If you expect the data to be partially ordered, insertion sort is the better option.

Original ArrayList: [12, 11, 13, 5, 6]
Sorted ArrayList: [5, 6, 11, 12, 13]
Start with an ArrayList of numbers, [12, 11, 13, 5, 6]
We want to arrange these numbers in order from smallest to largest, like [5, 6, 11, 12, 13]
insertionSort starts with the second element (11)
It compares 11 to the elements on its left. It finds that 11 is smaller than 12, so it shifts 12 one position to the right to make space for 11
The ArrayList now looks like [11, 12, 13, 5, 6]
The function repeats this process for each element in the list. It moves 13 to the right place and then 5 and 6
After sorting all the elements, the ArrayList is now sorted in ascending order: [5, 6, 11, 12, 13]

7.7 Ethical Issues Around Data Collection
When collecting data in a Java program, data security is VERY IMPORTANT. This involves any program that deals with
- Necessary personal information
- Information that is associated with results
Removing Data
- When collected data is no longer needed, be sure to remove the information from your application
- Removal of unnecessary data reduces risk of data breaches and protects sensitive information from unauthorized access
Anonymizing Data
- When collecting user information, avoid asking for private information to identify users ie. phone numbers, social security numbers, etc.
Collegeboard Example

6

Scanner inputScanner = new Scanner(System.in);
String fullName = inputScanner.nextLine();
// implementation of code
int identifier = fullName.hashCode();
fullName = null;
// further implementation
In this example…
- The user would type their full name in which it is used in the program
- After, the identifier equates to the hash value of the original string and the fullName is set to null
- Using the hash value instead of the actual name adds a degree of anonymity for the user
- Turning the fullName to null also indicates that the code no longer needs to store the name of the user
This minimizes the possible impact of the data by reducing the likelihood of unintentional exposure of the user’s name within the program.
Hacks for Unit 7
- Complete all questions and popcorn hacks
- Write a Java program that creates an ArrayList of integers. Create methods for adding, removing, setting, getting, etc numbers and also sort the list. Then, utilize user input to determine which methods will actually be run and enable the user to also determine the specific index that a number will be added, removed.
