Get ArrayList elements

We can use get(int index) method for retrieving the element from list

It returns the value present at the specified index

This method throws IndexOutOfBoundsException if the index is less than zero or greater than the size of the list

Example 1 :

  1. import java.util.ArrayList;
  2. import java.util.List;
  3. public class ArrayListGetElement {
  4.     public static void main(String[] args) {
  5.     ArrayList<String> list = new ArrayList<String>();
  6.     list.add("java");
  7. list.add("c++");
  8. list.add("python");
  9. list.add("c");
  10. System.out.println("First element of the ArrayList: "+list.get(0));
  11. System.out.println("Third element of the ArrayList: "+list.get(2));
  12.     }
  13. }
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
public class ArrayListGetElement {
	public static void main(String[] args) {
	ArrayList<String> list = new ArrayList<String>();
	list.add("java");
list.add("c++");
list.add("python");
list.add("c");
System.out.println("First element of the ArrayList: "+list.get(0));
System.out.println("Third element of the ArrayList: "+list.get(2));
	}
}



Example 2 :

  1. import java.util.ArrayList;
  2. import java.util.List;
  3. public class ArrayListGetElement {
  4.     public static void main(String[] args) {
  5.     ArrayList<String> list = new ArrayList<String>();
  6.     list.add("java");
  7. list.add("c++");
  8. list.add("python");
  9. list.add("c");
  10. System.out.println("First element of the ArrayList: "+list.get(0));
  11. System.out.println("Third element of the ArrayList: "+list.get(5));
  12.     }
  13. }
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
public class ArrayListGetElement {
	public static void main(String[] args) {
	ArrayList<String> list = new ArrayList<String>();
	list.add("java");
list.add("c++");
list.add("python");
list.add("c");
System.out.println("First element of the ArrayList: "+list.get(0));
System.out.println("Third element of the ArrayList: "+list.get(5));
	}
}
