Introduction :
* Group of individual objects which are represented as
a single unit is known as a collection of objects.
* In Java, Collection interface and Map interface are
the two main “root” interfaces of Java collection
classes.
* Before the Collection framework was introduced, the
standard methods for grouping Java objects were

collections had no common interface.
* It is difficult for the users to remember all the
different methods, syntax, present in every collection
cae * Advantages of the Collection :
* Increases performance by providing high-
performance implementations of useful data
structures and algorithms.
* The API has a basic set of interfaces like Collection,
Set, List, or Map, all the classes ArrayList, LinkedList,

* Collection Interface:
* This interface extends the iterable interface and is
implemented by all the classes in the collection
framework.
* This interface contains all the basic methods which
every collection has like adding the data into the
collection, removing the data.

because these methods are implemented by all the
classes irrespective of their style of implementation.
Therefore, in short, we can say that this interface
builds a foundation on which the collection classes

This also allows duplicate data to be present in it.
