Java Program to Find the Length/Size of an ArrayList
Last Updated : 28 Oct, 2021
Given an ArrayList in Java, the task is to write a Java program to find the length or size of the ArrayList.
Examples:
Input: ArrayList: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] Output: 5 Input: ArrayList: [geeks, for, geeks] Output: 3
ArrayList - An ArrayList is a part of the collection framework and is present in java.util package. It provides us with dynamic arrays in Java. However, it may be slower than standard arrays but can be helpful in programs where lots of manipulation in the array is needed.
Approach - Using size() method
The size of the ArrayList can be determined easily with the help of the size() method. This method does not take any parameters and returns an integer value which is the size of the ArrayList.
Syntax:
int size = ArrayList.size();
Below is the implementation of the above approach:
Example 1 - Java Program to determine the size of an Integer ArrayList
Java // Java program to find the size // of an ArrayList import java.util.*; public class GFG { public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception { // Creating object of ArrayList<Integer> ArrayList<Integer> arrlist = new ArrayList<Integer>(); // Populating arrlist arrlist.add(1); arrlist.add(2); arrlist.add(3); arrlist.add(4); arrlist.add(5); // print arrlist System.out.println("ArrayList: " + arrlist); // getting total size of arrlist // using size() method int size = arrlist.size(); // print the size of arrlist System.out.println("Size of ArrayList = " + size); } } OutputArrayList: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] Size of ArrayList = 5
Example 2 - Java Program to determine the size of a String ArrayList
Java // Java program to find the size // of an String ArrayList import java.util.*; public class GFG { public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception { // Creating object of ArrayList<Integer> ArrayList<String> arrlist = new ArrayList<String>(); // Populating arrlist arrlist.add("GeeksforGeeks"); arrlist.add("a"); arrlist.add("computer"); arrlist.add("science"); arrlist.add("portal"); arrlist.add("for"); arrlist.add("geeks"); // print arrlist System.out.println("ArrayList: " + arrlist); // getting total size of arrlist // using size() method int size = arrlist.size(); // print the size of arrlist System.out.println("Size of ArrayList = " + size); } } OutputArrayList: [GeeksforGeeks, a, computer, science, portal, for, geeks] Size of ArrayList = 7
