Finding collection methods

■ Here are all the methods you can use for ArrayList, LinkedList, Vector and Stack. The rows show where various methods are defined - meaning where to find them in the Sun Java API.

	ArrayList	LinkedList	Vector	Stack
find these in the Collection interface	.add(...), .addAll(...), .clear( ), .contains(...), .containsAll(...), .isEmpty( ), .iterator( ), .remove(...), .removeAll(...), .retainAll(...), .size( ), .toArray( ), .toArray(...)
find these in List interface	.add(index..), .addAll(index..), .get(...), .indexOf(...), .lastIndexOf(...), .listIterator(...), .remove(...), .set(...), .subList(...)
find these in the specific class itself	.ensureCapacity(...), trimToSize( )	.addFirst(...), .addLast(...), .getFirst(...), .getLast(...), .removeFirst(...), .removeLast(...)	.addElement(...), .capacity(), .copyInto(...), .elementAt( ), .elements( ), ensureCapacity(...), .firstElement(...), .indexOf (..index), .insertElementAt(...), .lastElement(), lastIndexOf(...), .removeAllElements( ), .remove-Element( ..), .removeElementAt(...), .trimToSize( )	.empty( ), .peek( ), .pop( ), .push(...), .search(...)

■ Here are all the methods you can use for Sets, and where to find them in the API.

	HashSet	TreeSet
find these in the Collection interface	.add(...), .addAll(...), .clear( ), .contains(...), .containsAll(...), .isEmpty( ), .iterator( ), .remove(...), .removeAll(...), .retainAll(...), .size( ), .toArray( ), .toArray(...)
look in the class itself	- -	.first( ), .headSet(...), .last( ), .subSet(...), .tailSet(...)

■ Here are all the methods you can use for Maps, and where to find them in the API.

	HashMap	TreeMap
find these in the Map interface	.clear( ), .containsKey(...), .containsValue(...), .entrySet( ), .get(...), .isEmpty( ), .keySet( ), .put(...), .putAll(...), .remove(...), .size( ), .values( )
look in the class itself	- -	..firstKey( ), .headMap(...), .lastKey( ), .subMap(...), .tailMap(...)
