more than one add in a list/set ?

[nimo frey]

Is there a shortcut for that:

list.add(object1);
list.add(object2);

can I do something like?:

list.add.(object1, object2);

[Harshit Rastogi]

   list.add.(object1, object2); 

this is not possible.
other possible way could be ,put all your objects in an array and loop through it and
add it to the list

Check out the addAll() method.

But addAll requires that the objects are in another collection. Although using varargs, you could use the following:

list.addAll(Arrays.asList(object1, object2));

I wouldn't do that however; although you save a few lines, it does create an extra array (for the varargs), and then another List object. In the end the result is the same. So you have to ask yourself this: is being lazy / shrinking your source code enough reason to warrant slower code (create the array and object takes time as well) that uses more memory?

okay thanks!
