Stuart Ash / AKA Joshua Bloch, while you're at it, could you write a book of Java Puzzles and illustrate it with optical illusions? You may have a coauthor .

Sure. The collections framework are data structures that's been implemented for you so you don't have to do it yourself.

It requires you to know about general data structures. You should know about dynamic arrays, linked lists, hash tables, trees, and maps. Also you should know aboout mathematical abstractions such as Lists, Sets and Maps.

If you do they're heaven sent. If you don't you're likely to screw up.

LOL, I wasn't usurping ol' boy Josh. Just trying to answer the asker in the same tune.

But if you are interested in coauthoring this, let's talk about it

Let's add a dose of nostalgia - let's call it My Recollections of Collections ??

[Stuart Ash]

Or since you spoke about optical illusions, how about Recollections of Kaleidoscopic Collections

Now I think it's my turn to have my leg pulled

Did you realize I was referring to Bloch's latest book:

Wow, it that the real Josh?? I'd need some convincing, what with so many imposters on Java Ranch!

The book sounds fun though, a need-for-read case!
