Is accessing ArrayList through Index consistent?

[Raghusham Sankargal]

Hi Ranchers,
I have a very basic question. Imagine I have an arrayList that has Strings

arrStr = new ArrayList()
arrStr.add("First");
arrStr.add("Second");
.
.
.
.
.
.
arrStr.add("Ten");

Can the arraylist guarantee accessing it through index gives me the same result all the time? In the above example if I say arrStr.get(0). Does this give "First" always???
Thanks in advance,
Sham.

Yes. If you use that version of add method of class ArrayList you can be sure that your String First will be at index 0 (if the list was empty before the add)

Sham,
Yes. Assuming nobody updates the first item. If I add a new item using the index "0", it will then be the first item.
