Module 11: Collections Framework Deep Dive

List Implementations: ArrayList, LinkedList, Vector

Compare performance characteristics and use cases.

ArrayList: O(1) random access, amortized O(1) insertion at end.

LinkedList: O(1) insertion/removal at ends but O(n) access—great for deque usage.

Vector is synchronized legacy; prefer ArrayList plus explicit synchronization or CopyOnWriteArrayList.
