ArrayList源码分析

Posted 2020-09-16 byron_nj

　　ArrayList是Java集合框架中重要的一个类，内部利用一个 Object 数组存储数据，存储的数据有序且可重复。

　　ArrayList 继承了 AbstractList 抽象类， AbstractList 继承自 AbstractCollection，AbstractCollection 实现了 Collection 接口；

　　ArrayList 和 AbstractList 都实现了 List 接口，这样便于 ArrayList 应用多态的特性。

　　ArrayList 实现了 RandmoAccess 接口，可以通过元素索引快速访问元素

　　ArrayList 实现了 Cloneable 接口，覆盖了 Object 类的 clone 方法。

　　ArrayList 实现了 Serializable接口，索引 ArrayList 支持序列化，能通过序列化传输对象。

 

　　ArrayList 源码：
