Vectors are thread safe but array lists are not. Hence array lists are faster than Vectors.
List is not sync'd as a vector is.
It depends... If you want a speedy processing go for array list If you want thread safety go for a vector
Linked list consists of data nodes each pointing to next in the list .An array consist of contiguous chunk memory of predetermined size
An ordered list of data in any programming language is simply a sorted array or list. In C++ this can either mean a sorted array, vector, list or forward list.
An array list is a collection of one or more (usually more) elements arranged in memory in a consecutive fashion, accessed as one indexable entity. The character list consists of only characters.
If you mean an array where each element is a list, then the STL is your friend. To create an array of lists of any type T, use the following declaration: std::vector<std::list<T>> my_array_of_lists;
Although they share many of the same features, there are many differences. For instance, a list does not have an index operator [] while a vector does not have a merge method. If in doubt, simply look at the variable's declaration -- it will explicitly state whether the variable is a list or a vector (or indeed some other STL container), along with the type of data that it contains. Ultimately a vector is just an array, ideally suited to random access, whereas a list is ideally suited to sequential access.
An array is a computer science equivalent of a vector in mathematics. Both contain a list of data.
A queue can use a dynamic array, or a linked list, but if using static memory, the queue becomes a circular queue because the underlaying data structure is a static circular array. This means the ends of the array are attached.
It's either an array or it's a list, it cannot be both. However, an empty array is entirely possible: std::vector<int> my_vector; // an empty array my_vector.push_back(42); // an array of 1 element my_vector.push_back(1); // an array of 2 elements my_vector.clear(); // an empty array An empty list is also possible: std::list<int> my_list; // an empty list my_list.push_back(42); // a list of 1 element my_list.push_back(1); // a list of 2 elements my_list.clear(); // an empty list The same thing can be done in C: int* my_array = nullptr; // an empty array my_array = malloc (2*sizeof(int)); // an array of 2 elements my_array[0] = 42; my_array[1] = 1; free my_array; // an empty array my_array = 0;
