Description:

This example gives how to shuffle elements in the ArrayList. By calling Collections.shuffle() method you can shuffle the content of the ArrayList. Everytime you call shuffle() method, it generates different order of output.


Code:
package com.java2novice.arraylist;

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Collections;

public class MyArrayListShuffle {

	public static void main(String a[]){
		ArrayList<String> list = new ArrayList<String>();
		list.add("Java");
		list.add("Cric");
		list.add("Play");
		list.add("Watch");
		list.add("Glass");
		list.add("Movie");
		list.add("Girl");
		
		Collections.shuffle(list);
		System.out.println("Results after shuffle operation:");
		for(String str: list){
			System.out.println(str);
		}
		
		Collections.shuffle(list);
		System.out.println("Results after shuffle operation:");
		for(String str: list){
			System.out.println(str);
		}
	}

Interface and its usage
Interface is similar to a class which may contain method's signature only but not bodies and it is a formal set of method and constant declarations that must be defined by the class that implements it. Interfaces are useful for declaring methods that one or more classes are expected to implement, capturing similarities between unrelated classes without forcing a class relationship and determining an object's programming interface without revealing the actual body of the class.
Famous Quotations
Education is what remains after one has forgotten what one has learned in school.
