help reg collections utility

[sathish gopal]

I have list object. i want to get all the elements from them.
i used a method add(int index) to get all the elements from them.
When i carefully looked at the API there is Interface called Iterator which can also be used to get elements out from the list.
Which is the best and efficient way..
I am using JDK 1.4.2

I definitely recommend learning about iterators. A great place to start is this section from Bruce Eckel's Thinking in Java.

I would think that the add(int) method would offer very poor performance in getting values from a list.
