In Source code of ArrayList SDK 6
/**
* Constructs an empty list with an initial capacity of ten.
*/
public ArrayList() {
this(10);
}
Where as in ArrayList.java of SDK 8:
/**
* Constructs an empty list with an initial capacity of ten.
*/
public ArrayList() {
this.elementData = DEFAULTCAPACITY_EMPTY_ELEMENTDATA;
}
Where DEFAULTCAPACITY_EMPTY_ELEMENTDATA
/**
* Shared empty array instance used for default sized empty instances. We
* distinguish this from EMPTY_ELEMENTDATA to know how much to inflate when
* first element is added.
*/
private static final Object[] DEFAULTCAPACITY_EMPTY_ELEMENTDATA = {};
Which means ArrayList Default size now is zero but comment says it is still 10.
/**
* Constructs an empty list with an initial capacity of ten.
*/
public ArrayList() {
this.elementData = DEFAULTCAPACITY_EMPTY_ELEMENTDATA;
}
Please clear confusion?
