🔰 Collections Class – Key Methods with Java Code

Examples
📦 Import Required:

import [Link].*;

1. ✅ sort() – Sort a list


List<Integer> nums = [Link](4, 1, 5, 2);
[Link](nums);
[Link](nums); // Output: [1, 2, 4, 5]

2. ✅ reverse() – Reverse a list


[Link](nums);
[Link](nums); // Output: [5, 4, 2, 1]

3. ✅ shuffle() – Randomly shuffle elements


[Link](nums);
[Link](nums); // Output: [random order]

4. ✅ swap() – Swap elements at two positions


[Link](nums, 0, 2);
[Link](nums); // Output: depends on the previous order

5. ✅ max() – Get the maximum element


int max = [Link](nums);
[Link]("Max: " + max); // Output: Max: 5

6. ✅ min() – Get the minimum element


int min = [Link](nums);
[Link]("Min: " + min); // Output: Min: 1

7. ✅ frequency() – Count frequency of an element


List<String> names = [Link]("ram", "shyam", "ram", "mohan");
int count = [Link](names, "ram");
[Link]("Frequency of 'ram': " + count); // Output: 2

8. ✅ binarySearch() – Fast search on sorted list


List<Integer> sorted = [Link](1, 2, 3, 4, 5);
int index = [Link](sorted, 3);
[Link]("Index of 3: " + index); // Output: 2

9. ✅ fill() – Replace all elements with a single value


List<Integer> fillList = new ArrayList<>([Link](1, 2, 3, 4));
[Link](fillList, 0);
[Link](fillList); // Output: [0, 0, 0, 0]

10. ✅ copy() – Copy contents from one list to another


List<String> src = [Link]("A", "B", "C");
List<String> dest = new ArrayList<>([Link]("X", "Y", "Z"));
[Link](dest, src);
[Link](dest); // Output: [A, B, C]

📌 Note: Destination list must be at least same size.

11. ✅ replaceAll() – Replace all occurrences of one value with another


List<String> letters = new ArrayList<>([Link]("a", "b", "a", "c"));
[Link](letters, "a", "z");
[Link](letters); // Output: [z, b, z, c]

12. ✅ disjoint() – Check if two collections have no elements in common


List<Integer> a = [Link](1, 2, 3);
List<Integer> b = [Link](4, 5);
[Link]([Link](a, b)); // Output: true

✅ Summary Table
Method Use Case
sort() Sort list in ascending order
reverse() Reverse list
shuffle() Randomize order of list
swap(i, j) Swap two elements
max() / min() Get max/min values
frequency() Count occurrence of item
binarySearch() Search in sorted list
fill() Fill list with a single value
copy(dest, src) Copy one list into another
replaceAll() Replace all matching values
disjoint() Check if no common elements
