List index value retrieval

Question

I have list having data like a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i if i want this list i would say getList(); which returns me a arraylist,i need only the value at index 10 that is 'i' ,how would i do this ?

Answer 1

I'd go with get().

BTW, you can find the complete Java API docs here. I'd highly recommend bookmarking it.

Answer 2

getList().get(8);

Have in mind that index is 0-based. So index 8 means the 9th item.

Advice: always look at the javadoc, or open the autocomplete of your IDE, to see what methods does your object have. Most of them are named and documented in a way that it is explicitly known what they actually do.

For example, in your case, google for "ArrayList", open the first result (from java.sun.com), and look through the methods there.
