Java集合解析：ArrayList

ArrayList是Java中常用的集合之一。
特点

• 随机访问速度快，插入和移除性能较差；
• 支持null元素；
• 有序
• 元素可以重复；
• 线程不安全；
• 内存连续（索引，赋值，修改，遍历性能高）

数据结构

• 底层采用数组实现
• 是一个动态数组
• Object类型的数组，可以容纳任何类型

/**
     * Default initial capacity.
     */
    private static final int DEFAULT_CAPACITY = 10;
    /**
     * The array buffer into which the elements of the ArrayList are stored.
     * The capacity of the ArrayList is the length of this array buffer. Any
     * empty ArrayList with elementData == DEFAULTCAPACITY_EMPTY_ELEMENTDATA
     * will be expanded to DEFAULT_CAPACITY when the first element is added.
     */
    transient Object[] elementData; // non-private to simplify nested class access

    /**
     * The size of the ArrayList (the number of elements it contains).
     *
     * @serial
     */
    private int size;

几个重要的函数
ArrayList(int initialCapacity) 并没有初始化数组的大小，没有设置size的值。

/**
     * Constructs an empty list with the specified initial capacity.
     *
     * @param  initialCapacity  the initial capacity of the list
     * @throws IllegalArgumentException if the specified initial capacity
     *         is negative
     */
    public ArrayList(int initialCapacity) {
        if (initialCapacity > 0) {
            this.elementData = new Object[initialCapacity];
        } else if (initialCapacity == 0) {
            this.elementData = EMPTY_ELEMENTDATA;
        } else {
            throw new IllegalArgumentException("Illegal Capacity: "+
                                               initialCapacity);
        }
    }

    /**
     * Constructs an empty list with an initial capacity of ten.
     */
    public ArrayList() {
        this.elementData = DEFAULTCAPACITY_EMPTY_ELEMENTDATA;
    }

如果调用ArrayList(int initialCapacity) 之后，直接调用set，会出错，因为此刻size为0.

public E set(int index, E element) {
        rangeCheck(index);

        E oldValue = elementData(index);
        elementData[index] = element;
        return oldValue;
    }
    private void rangeCheck(int index) {
        if (index >= size)
            throw new IndexOutOfBoundsException(outOfBoundsMsg(index));
    }

在第一次调用Add()方法的时候，会初始化size大小。

/**
 * Appends the specified element to the end of this list.
 *
 * @param e element to be appended to this list
 * @return <tt>true</tt> (as specified by {@link Collection#add})
 */
public boolean add(E e) {
    ensureCapacityInternal(size + 1);  // Increments modCount!!
    elementData[size++] = e;
    return true;
}
private void ensureCapacityInternal(int minCapacity) {
    ensureExplicitCapacity(calculateCapacity(elementData, minCapacity));
}
private static int calculateCapacity(Object[] elementData, int minCapacity) {
    if (elementData == DEFAULTCAPACITY_EMPTY_ELEMENTDATA) {
        return Math.max(DEFAULT_CAPACITY, minCapacity);
    }
    return minCapacity;
}

扩容机制
扩容后的容量为原来的1.5倍，通过数组拷贝的方式实现动态扩容，效率较低。

fail-fast
当在遍历集合时，有人增加/删除了元素，则抛出异常。具体实现
modCount != expectedModCount

/**
 * The number of times this list has been <i>structurally modified</i>.
 * Structural modifications are those that change the size of the
 * list, or otherwise perturb it in such a fashion that iterations in
 * progress may yield incorrect results.
 *
 * <p>This field is used by the iterator and list iterator implementation
 * returned by the {@code iterator} and {@code listIterator} methods.
 * If the value of this field changes unexpectedly, the iterator (or list
 * iterator) will throw a {@code ConcurrentModificationException} in
 * response to the {@code next}, {@code remove}, {@code previous},
 * {@code set} or {@code add} operations.  This provides
 * <i>fail-fast</i> behavior, rather than non-deterministic behavior in
 * the face of concurrent modification during iteration.
 *
 * <p><b>Use of this field by subclasses is optional.</b> If a subclass
 * wishes to provide fail-fast iterators (and list iterators), then it
 * merely has to increment this field in its {@code add(int, E)} and
 * {@code remove(int)} methods (and any other methods that it overrides
 * that result in structural modifications to the list).  A single call to
 * {@code add(int, E)} or {@code remove(int)} must add no more than
 * one to this field, or the iterators (and list iterators) will throw
 * bogus {@code ConcurrentModificationExceptions}.  If an implementation
 * does not wish to provide fail-fast iterators, this field may be
 * ignored.
 */
protected transient int modCount = 0;

add(int index, E e) 和 remove(int index) 都是基于数组拷贝的。

public void add(int index, E element) {
    rangeCheckForAdd(index);

    ensureCapacityInternal(size + 1);  // Increments modCount!!
    System.arraycopy(elementData, index, elementData, index + 1,
                     size - index);
    elementData[index] = element;
    size++;
}

/**
 * Removes the element at the specified position in this list.
 * Shifts any subsequent elements to the left (subtracts one from their
 * indices).
 *
 * @param index the index of the element to be removed
 * @return the element that was removed from the list
 * @throws IndexOutOfBoundsException {@inheritDoc}
 */
public E remove(int index) {
    rangeCheck(index);

    modCount++;
    E oldValue = elementData(index);

    int numMoved = size - index - 1;
    if (numMoved > 0)
        System.arraycopy(elementData, index+1, elementData, index,
                         numMoved);
    elementData[--size] = null; // clear to let GC do its work

    return oldValue;
}

常见问题

1. 什么时候用数组，什么时候用ArrayList？

• 数组可以包含基本类型和对象类型，ArrayList只能包含对象类型。
• 数组大小是固定的，ArrayList的大小是动态变化的。
• 某一个数组存放的只能是同一类型的元素，ArrayList则不一定
• ArrayList提供了更多的方法和特性，比如：addAll()，removeAll()，iterator()等等。
