Lookup the API documentation of those classes; it explains exactly how each of the classes works. Also read the documentation on the collections framework.

They are both a part of Collection framework(LIST). Each ahs it's own advantage and disadvantage-

If you want a quick retreival of objects, use ArrayList.
If you have to do plenty of additiona and deletion, you can use Linked list
ArrayList does not maintain any order while inserting.
LinkedList manitian insertion order and can also sort itslef optionally to most recently access value.

It's a designing factor you might need to consider to improve the performance of a application/project.

Thanks,

Thats incorrect. All implementations of the List contract maintain a well defined order.
