Q2. ArraysList vs LinkedList
Ans. 
ArrayList is better for random access, LinkedList is better for frequent insertions/deletions.
• ArrayList uses dynamic array to store elements, LinkedList uses doubly linked list.

• ArrayList provides fast random access to elements using index, LinkedList provides fast insertion/deletion at any position.

• Example: ArrayList is suitable for scenarios where random access is required like searching, LinkedList is suitable for sc...read more
