Set<E>和List<E>都用于存储E类型的元素。区别在于Set是以无序方式存储的，不允许重复值。List用于以有序的方式存储元素，并且允许重复值。

Set元素不能通过索引位置访问，而List元素可以通过索引位置访问。

元素的有序列表(是否唯一) 遵循Java的名为List的接口 可以通过索引访问吗

实现使用

LinkedList ArrayList

独特元素列表: 遵循Java名为Set的接口 不能通过索引访问

实现使用

HashSet(无序) LinkedHashSet(命令) 树集(按自然顺序或按提供的比较器排序)

接口Set和List都符合Java的名为Collection的接口

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.

主题名称:列表VS集

我刚刚介绍了Java中最重要的主题——集合框架。我想和你分享我关于收藏的一点知识。其中最重要的是列表、集合、映射。让我们从List和Set开始。

List与Set的区别:

List is a collection class which extends AbstractList class where as Set is a collection class which extends AbstractSet class but both implements Collection interface. List interface allows duplicate values (elements) whereas Set interface does not allow duplicate values. In case of duplicate elements in Set, it replaces older values. List interface allows NULL values where as Set interface does not allow Null values. In case of using Null values in Set it gives NullPointerException. List interface maintains insertion order. That means the way we add the elements in the List in the same way we obtain it using iterator or for-each style. Whereas Set implementations do not necessarily maintain insertion order. (Although SortedSet does using TreeSet, and LinkedHashSet maintains insertion order). List interface has its own methods defined whereas Set interface does not have its own method so Set uses Collection interface methods only. List interface has one legacy class called Vector whereas Set interface does not have any legacy class Last but not the least... The listIterator() method can only be used to cycle through the elements within List Classes whereas we can use iterator() method to access Set class elements

还有什么要补充的吗?请让我知道。

谢谢。

1.List允许重复值，set不允许重复值

2.List维护您在列表中插入元素的顺序 Set不能维持秩序。 3.List是一个有序的元素序列，而Set是一个无序的元素列表。

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。
