If you're writing Java code and need a container to store elements, a list is likely what you'll use. The Java collections framework provides several different list implementations. Use this course to practice using parameterized lists.

Start by working with parameterized collections with type parameters to indicate the type of data you want to store within that collection. Compare parameterized and non-parameterized lists. Then, explore first-hand the advantages of working with parameterized lists.

Next, investigate all the methods you can use to operate on lists in Java, examining the inheritance hierarchy of interfaces in the Java collections framework and the use case for each kind of interface.

When you're finished with this course, you'll be able to use parameterized lists to store your data and perform the correct operation based on your use case.
