ArrayList: "I'm fast at adding elements!" John: "But you did not add of them in multithread call" ArrayList: "I said I'm fast, not correct"

@monishbiswas1966 Год назад

Well they realised that synchronising things by default was a bad design choice as A) there was a performance cost to synchronisation as it stops the JVM fro m doing certain optimisations, and users should not may the cost of hey are notneeding concurrent access. B) if concurrency was required, you would probably need to synchronise the calling code anyway, to allow read and modify ops to be atomic, so no point syncronsing the list operations. You can see this in stringBuilder vs StringBuffer

@monishbiswas1966 Год назад

I think they modelled the early Java on C++, which is why they used the same names. However they made a design error in making vector synchronised as you pay a high cost to it being synchronised, and also most ops require synchronisation at a higher level. They could not fix the design errors without breaking backward compatibility, so they created ArrayList instead

@SuprousOxide Год назад

With the vector both add and get methods are synchronized. You might have a case where you build a list once, and then want to READ from it from multiple threads. That should be safe with just the unsynchronized ArrayList, but to be safer you could wrap the list in an Collections.unmodifiableList. Then you won't need the overhead of synchronization on your get calls.

@shaunhorton5619 10 месяцев назад

I have a quick question regarding the performance difference between Vectors and Arraylists, or more specifically with the synchronizedlist, if you create the synched list wrapper for your arraylist, does it only take that performance hit and start behaving comparably to a Vector in a threaded environment, or does it slow down the ArrayList when accessing it in a single thread also?

Thanks for sharing about vectors asd arraylist , you demonstrated how arrayList performs poorly with multi threads if not synchronised. what happens if parallelStreams are used? Does it automatically gets wrapped into Collections.synchronized()

@paulushcgcj Год назад

Great video. One suggestion I would give is to use Duration to measure time instead of System.currentTimeMillis() as it is not that reliable, specially when dealing with lots of data, the effect of CPU throttling and time leap will mess your count. LocalDateTime with duration to measure the difference is better

You can used synchronized in one of the threads. This synchronises in both threads which might not be necessary when there are 2 threads. N threads N - 1 synchronisations. If N is large you can synchronize all threads.

@michaeltaylor4817 Год назад

no idea if it has been covered, but explaining public, private, protected and package private might be a good idea. just a thought. and in my opinion making some examples a little bit more complex might help for like a real world example. as extending some functionality might be tricky for learning developers. also if possible, please stick to one IDE swapping between intelli J and Eclipse can be mildly distracting. and an ide specific functionality is a pain if someone is using Eclipse and they wanna do something only available in Intelli J other wise love your good work, very helpful could we have a lesson on FUNCTIONS, BIFUNCTIONS, SUPPLIERS, CONSUMERS and other functional interfaces with a demo of passing them to methods etc :)

Hello and thank you. Should we use Vector if we are just reading from List in multithreading mode? Is ArrayList is safe for reading in multithreading? Thanks in advance!

@monishbiswas1966 Год назад

If it’s only accessed from one thread you do not need to synchronise, and if it’s accessed from multiple threads you may want to handle the synchronisation in the surrounding code to allow several operations to be atomic. Alternatively there says there are constructs that are better suited to concurrency, such as a concurrent hash map

When using awt/swing parts of the api uses vector (probably because the api was written before the collections framework) and it's pretty annoying to be forced to use vectors in multiple places or copy a bunch of array lists into vectors.

@awesomebearaudiobooks Год назад

Can someone please explain, why do I get the same results for both ArrayList and Vector? I am not using any wrappers, I am jsut running the same code as John, and yet my ArrayLists are not in any way faster than my Vectors, why is that? Am I using a wrong JRE or something? Maybe there is something to do with Maven? For example, I get this: Added 10000000 elements to ArrayList: 251ms Added 10000000 elements to Vector: 242ms Added 10000000 elements in a multithreaded way to ArrayList: 1030ms Added 10000000 elements in a multithreaded way to Vector: 1275ms

@Zeero3846 Год назад

Vectors in Java were initially implemented to be thread safe as the original philosophy in Java was to just do everything one way to fit every use case. It's the reason why every method is virtual and must be contained in a class, among other things. By the way, the other data structure from the original Java version is Hashtable. It corresponds to the more useful HashMap. It's also worth noting that Java also have a number of other concurrent data structures in the java.util.concurrent package, like BlockingDeque, ConcurrentHashMap, etc.

@Zeero3846 Год назад

The only other situation is if you're using 3rd party code, and they force you to use Vector. Of course, you'd try to limit the use of Vector by copying into a Vector at the very last minute just before passing it as a parameter. If a Vector is returned, it may be useful to just put it into a List variable if you're not going to manipulate the elements in any way afterwards. If you are, still put it in a List variable, but consider if you need the thread safety. If not, then copy from the Vector into an ArrayList.

could've extracted the single-threaded and multi-threaded benchmarks into separate functions taking a List instead of copy-pasting and renaming variables all over the place

@hansudowolfrahm4856 Месяц назад

Haters gonna say the new updates are bad, but you can still use the old ones and also if you don't develop you will just get stuck in the past. I think most new things are optional and you don't have to use them, however it's always good to use both. I will continue to use the old hello world but I will also try out new things and learn the new update as well. Having additional knowlege will always give an advantage.

@PauxloE Год назад

One other difference: If you don't use the List interface, Vector has a lot of additional methods which are just confusing.
