In a loop, check if you have reached the last element of the array,
using size()-1.
If you have not reached it, output ", ". Otherwise, output " and ".

I won't post the code

Hi,
I tried but i still don't get the o/p i want.
Here is the code:

for (Iterator iter = arraylist.iterator(); iter.hasNext() {

if (!iter.hasNext()) {
System.out.print(iter.next() + " , ");

} else {
System.out.print("and");
}

In this case an Iterator is not an approritate solution. Iterate through the list using the indices of the elements and then follow Satou's advice.
