Java Programming for Complete Beginners - Java 16 - Step 09 - List and ArrayList - Puzzles - Type Safety and Removing In

The video tutorial explores various aspects of lists and collections in programming, focusing on Java. It covers the creation of lists with different data types, the concept of autoboxing and wrapper classes, and the use of generics for type safety. The tutorial also delves into working with ArrayLists, including method overloading and removing elements. The aim is to provide a deeper understanding of these concepts through practical examples and puzzles.

Explain why you cannot store primitive types directly in a list.

What are wrapper classes and how do they relate to the storage of primitive types in lists?

What is the concept of autoboxing in relation to lists?

In what scenarios would you want to use generics when working with lists?

What happens when you try to store different data types in a list that is defined to hold only strings?

How does the indexOf method work in the context of lists and what is its behavior with auto-boxing?

Describe the difference between the remove methods in a list and how they relate to auto-boxing.
