Tutorial - Collections

[Niyas Ahmed Sheikh]

Hi,

What Comparator is used for?

Can anyone provide some tutorial for beginners to learn collections other than the Sun's tutorial.
For example the tutorial should covers the following topics with one or two simple examples to understand how it's working.

Comparator
Enumerator
HashTable Map
Heaps
Iterator
Link List
List
Queue
Set
Shuffle
Sort Search
Stack
Tree
Vector

Thanks & Regards

To be honest, the Collections framework makes many of these items (LinkedList, Set, Stack, etc) very similar from a programming point of view. Maybe you need to review the data structures themselves rather than their implementation in Java?

Hi,

I have some basic knowledge in Data Structure. In sense, I know what is stack & its operation(PUSH,POP), Linked List, Array List, Vector. However, I can't say I'm too familiar with it. If you say, I have to start with data structure, what will be tutorial or some online materials u know for the beginners like me for data structure or related to it.

Let know me your suggestions.

You should also check out The Java Tutorial. It includes a section on the Collections Framework.
