Array vs ArrayList vs LinkedList vs Vector: an excellent overview and examples

Hi, right now I'm at the lib preparing for our project in CS103 //principles of os. I encountered examples in Java using LinkedList, I've used them yesterday, used also Vectors a lot, but never knew their difference. Reading this page gave me a lot of info of what the new Java gives us. This is a good one! Enjoy!
