If you do not need efficient random access but need to efficiently move sequentially through the list,then use the _____________ class.

A) Vector< T >
B) LinkedList< T >
C) HashSet< T >
D) TreeSet< T >

Random Access

The ability to access data at any position in a sequence in constant time, without needing to read through preceding data.

LinkedList< T >

A collection data structure that consists of nodes where each node contains a data element of type T and a reference to the next node in the sequence.

  • Learn to distinguish and identify the various Java Collection interfaces and classes, such as List, Set, Map, Vector, LinkedList, HashSet, TreeSet, including their respective usage cases.
  • Understand the principles of distinct elements and the selection of data structures according to their operational efficiency.

Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
LinkedList< T > is the best choice because it allows for efficient sequential traversal by using pointers to the next node in the list. It does not provide efficient random access, but if sequential access is the primary concern, then LinkedList is the best option. The other options provide varying levels of performance for random access, but may not necessarily be optimized for sequential access.
