Difference Between LinkedList and Arraylist


Array list and linked list both implements list interface. ArrayList is more popular amongst programmer.The main difference between Arraylist and Linked list is arraylist implemented using re sizable array while linkedlist is implemented using doubly linked list.

ArrayList LinkedList
Arraylist is an index based data structure.Array provides O(1) performance for get(index) method but remove is costly in ArrayList as you need to rearrange all elements. LinkedList doesn't provide Random or index based access and you need to iterate over linked list to retrieve any element which is of order O(n).
In case of arraylist for updating the list anywhere other than end of the list need re-indexing of the list. Insertion are easy and fast in linked list because there is no risk of resizing the data and copying the data into new array.
ArrayList only have the data object Linked list has both data and address to the next link.Hence linked list has more memory overhead

When to use LinkedList
Use it when your application is more insertion and removal dependent. i.e if the insertion and removal operation is more frequent operation than the retrieval of the data.

When to use Arraylist
Use ArrayList in Java for all there situation where you need a non-synchronized index based access. ArrayList is fast and easy to use, just try to minimize array resizing by constructing arraylist with proper initial size.

Create Table in Liquibase

For creating table using liquibase you can use below code and add it in your liquibase file. <createTable tableName=“employee”>      <column name="id" type="int">      <constraints primaryKey="true" nullable="false"/>   </column>      <column name="first_name" type="varchar(255)"/>   <column name="last_name" type="varchar(255)"/>   <column name="username" type="varchar(255)">      <constraints unique="true" nullable="false"/>   </column> </createTable> The use is pretty simple it's the way it looks : Tag: <createTable></createTable> This is an opening/ending tag for creating a table. These tags will enclose column sub tags which will define columns for the table. Attribute:   tableName : Name of the table which you want to create. (This is a mandatory  

How databasechangeloglock and databasechangelog table used by liquibase?

Liquibase takes care of executing the query on the database while maintaining the list of queries executed and also maintaining the locks over the tables simultaneously. The two tables that are used by the liquibase for this purpose are : Databasechangeloglock : This table have following columns ID | LOCKED| LOCKGRANTED | LOCKEDBY. This maintains the locks information granted to the user. The primary purpose of this table is to make sure that two machines don't attempt to modify the data at the same time. Databasechangelog : This table have following columns ID | AUTHOR | FILENAME | DATEEXECUTED | ORDEREXECUTED | EXECTYPE | MD5SUM | DESCRIPTION | COMMENTS | TAG | LIQUIBASE This table maintains the list of the statements that are executed on the database.

ReferenceError: dhtmlXGrid is not defined : Resolved

For the errors like : ReferenceError: dhtmlXDataView is not defined ReferenceError: dhtmlXGrid is not defined ReferenceError: dhtmlXTree is not defined ReferenceError: dhtmlXTreeGrid is not defined etc I have been working on dhtmlx for long time now and this is one of the most basic exception faced by the developer and which in fact is very easy to resolve. Reasons: 1. You are actually referring to a wrong location of the JS file.    - This is a very common mistake done and most of the time we are so damn sure that we don't even care about checking the path once. Even though you have copied it from your existing project where it is working, if you face this issue don't forget to check the path once, it won't harm you. 2. Check for relative path.    - So now you have copied it and paste it in your new file where you are going to use the dhtmlx component and when you open your file you get this error and it becomes frustrating knowing that same thing is wo
