A list of lists in Java is a data structure that represents a collection of lists, where each list is an element of the outer list. You can create a list of lists in Java using the ArrayList
class or the LinkedList
class, which are part of the Java Collection Framework.
Here is an example of how to create a list of lists in Java using the ArrayList
class:
List<List<Integer>> listOfLists = new ArrayList<>(); // Add lists to the list of lists listOfLists.add(Arrays.asList(1, 2, 3)); listOfLists.add(Arrays.asList(4, 5, 6)); listOfLists.add(Arrays.asList(7, 8, 9)); // Print the list of lists System.out.println(listOfLists);
In this example, the listOfLists
variable is defined as a List
of List
objects, and the ArrayList
class is used to instantiate the list of lists. The add
method is used to add lists to the list of lists, and the Arrays.asList
method is used to create lists from arrays of integers. The System.out.println
method is used to print the list of lists to the console.
You can use this approach to create a list of lists in Java by defining a list of lists and using the add
method to add lists to the list of lists. You can also customize this approach by using different types of lists, such as lists of strings or lists of objects, or by using different methods to add lists to the list of lists.
Note that you can also create a list of lists in Java using the LinkedList
class, which is another implementation of the List
interface that is based on a linked list data structure. To create a list of lists using the LinkedList
class, you can use the same approach as the one described above, but you need to use the LinkedList
class instead of the ArrayList
class to instantiate the list of lists.
