Java Annotations (Metadata) Examples


Description:

Java Annotations are also called Metadata. Annotations are introduced with JDK 5 onwards. Annotations allows us to add some form of metadata information into our source code, but it doesnot change the execution flow of the program. These annotations can then be processed at compile time by the compiler tools or during at runtime via Java Reflection. Classes, methods, variables may be annotated.

When to use LinkedList or ArrayList?
Accessing elements are faster with ArrayList, because it is index based. But accessing is difficult with LinkedList. It is slow access. This is to access any element, you need to navigate through the elements one by one. But insertion and deletion is much faster with LinkedList, because if you know the node, just change the pointers before or after nodes. Insertion and deletion is slow with ArrayList, this is because, during these operations ArrayList need to adjust the indexes according to deletion or insetion if you are performing on middle indexes. Means, an ArrayList having 10 elements, if you are inserting at index 5, then you need to shift the indexes above 5 to one more.
