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 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.
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.
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;
