Java- Differences between ArrayList and LinkedList

  


ArrayList
LinkedList
1) ArrayList internally uses dynamic array to store the elements.
 LinkedList internally uses doubly linked  list to store the elements.

2) Manipulation with ArrayList is slow because it internally uses array. If any element is removed from the array, all the bits are shifted in memory.
 Manipulation with LinkedList is faster than  ArrayList because it uses doubly linked list so  no bit shifting is required in memory.

3) ArrayList class can act as a list only because it implements List only.
 LinkedList class can act as a list and  queue both because it implements List and  Deque interfaces.

4) ArrayList is better for storing and accessingdata.
 LinkedList is better for manipulating data.
