Yeah, u can use Collections, which is dynamic way to allocate size. Vector is synchronized but ArrayList is not, which is obviously fast.

Hi,
It really depends on your requirements. In most cases, Collections provide more flexibility. Collection classes provide features like sorting, copying, binary searches etc by just a single method call.
For more information Refer to the Collections Trail in the Java Tutorial on www.javasoft.com
