Generics
- stores elements in order added
- similar to array but growable
- allows to get and set using index
- fast in getting and setting elements
- slow in inserting and removing elements
List Collection
- no duplicate
- maintain its order
Set collection
Not sorted set
Hashset
Sorted set
Treeset
An object that map keys to values
Map Collection

Hashmap
Sorted Map collection
Treemap
was used to provide generic iteration for collection implementations
iterator
How to determine class of an object
