Gain insights into Java Collections Framework. Delve into lists, sets, and hashmaps. Learn about data modification, sorting, thread-safety, and internal workings for efficient usage.

Collection is one of the most important topics for Java programming. Without the proper knowledge of every collection type in Java, it becomes difficult for you to decide which option to pick in a particular scenario.

This course will give you a great understanding of all collection types available in the Collections Framework like lists, linked lists, sets, and hashmaps. 

After completing this course, you will know how data can be modified within a collection, how to sort a collection, and how it can be made thread-safe. You will also cover the internal working of each Java collection so you can work with them more efficiently.

Collections in Java

## **Sorting an ArrayList in ascending order**

The `Collections` class contains a `sort(List<T> list)` method, which is used to sort an **ArrayList**. This method takes an **ArrayList** as input and sorts it in ascending order.

In the `sort(List<T> list)` method, `T` represents the type of object that is stored in the **ArrayList**. The `Collections.sort(List<T> t)` method takes an **ArrayList** of type `T` objects as the input.  It is a must that `T` should implement the Comparable interface; otherwise, the code will not compile.
