List Vs Set

1) Set不允许重复。列表允许重复。基于Set的实现，它还维护插入顺序。

LinkedHashSet。它维护插入顺序。请参考此处

2)包含方法。根据集合的性质，它将为访问提供更好的性能。最好的情况是o(1)但是List有调用contains的性能问题。

这可能不是您想要的答案，但是集合类的JavaDoc实际上非常具有描述性。复制/粘贴:

An ordered collection (also known as a sequence). The user of this interface has precise control over where in the list each element is inserted. The user can access elements by their integer index (position in the list), and search for elements in the list. Unlike sets, lists typically allow duplicate elements. More formally, lists typically allow pairs of elements e1 and e2 such that e1.equals(e2), and they typically allow multiple null elements if they allow null elements at all. It is not inconceivable that someone might wish to implement a list that prohibits duplicates, by throwing runtime exceptions when the user attempts to insert them, but we expect this usage to be rare.

最大的不同在于基本概念。

从设置和列表界面。集合是数学概念。设置方法扩展集合。但是没有添加新的方法。size()表示基数(more为BitSet。基数，线性计数器，日志日志，HyperLogLog)。addAll()表示联合。retainAll()表示交集。removeAll()表示差异。

However List lack of these concepts. List add a lot of method to support sequence concept which Collection interface not supply. core concept is INDEX. like add(index,element),get(index),search(indexOf()),remove(index) element. List also provide "Collection View" subList. Set do not have view. do not have positional access. List also provide a lot of algorithms in Collections class. sort(List),binarySearch(List),reverse(List),shuffle(List),fill(List). the method params is List interface. duplicate elements are just the result of concepts. not the essential difference.

所以本质的区别在于概念。集合是数学集合的概念。列表是序列的概念。

设置: Set的集合中不能有Duplicate元素。它也是一个无序集合。要从Set中访问数据，只需要使用Iterator，基于索引的检索是不可能的。它主要用于需要唯一性收集的时候。

列表: List可以有重复的元素，插入时使用自然顺序。 因此，它可以基于索引或迭代器检索数据。它广泛用于存储需要基于索引进行访问的集合。

List是项的有序分组 Set是一个无序的项目分组，不允许重复(通常)

从概念上讲，我们通常将允许重复的无序分组称为Bag，而不允许重复的无序分组称为Set。

Java中List和Set之间的一些值得注意的区别如下:

1) Java中的List和Set之间的基本区别是允许重复元素。Java中的List允许重复，而Set不允许任何重复。如果在Set中插入duplicate，它将替换旧的值。Java中Set的任何实现都只包含唯一的元素。

2) Another significant difference between List and Set in Java is order. List is an Ordered Collection while Set is an unordered Collection. List maintains insertion order of elements, means any element which is inserted before will go on lower index than any element which is inserted after. Set in Java doesn't maintain any order. Though Set provide another alternative called SortedSet which can store Set elements in specific Sorting order defined by Comparable and Comparator methods of Objects stored in Set.

3) Java中比较流行的List接口实现有ArrayList, Vector和LinkedList。而流行的Set接口实现包括HashSet, TreeSet和LinkedHashSet。

很明显，如果你需要维护插入顺序或对象，你的集合可以包含重复的列表是一种方法。另一方面，如果您的要求是保持唯一的集合，没有任何重复，那么Set是最好的方法。
