Converting array to list in Java

In your example, it is because you can’t have a List of a primitive type. In other words, List<int> is not possible. You can, however, have a List<Integer> using the Integer class that wraps the int primitive. Convert your array to a List with the Arrays.asList utility method. See this code run live at IdeOne.com.

List changes unexpectedly after assignment. Why is this and how can I prevent it?

With new_list = my_list, you don’t actually have two lists. The assignment just copies the reference to the list, not the actual list, so both new_list and my_list refer to the same list after the assignment. To actually copy the list, you have various possibilities: You can use the builtin list.copy() method (available since Python 3.3):new_list = old_list.copy() You can slice it:new_list … Read more

Accessing the index in ‘for’ loops?

Using an additional state variable, such as an index variable (which you would normally use in languages such as C or PHP), is considered non-pythonic. The better option is to use the built-in function enumerate(), available in both Python 2 and 3:

TypeError: list indices must be integers or slices, not list

This is a classic mistake. i in your case is already an element from array (i.e. another list), not an index of array (not an int), so You can check the Python tutorial. Also, try doing this: And see what you get! Also I would advise to stick to naming conventions: variables are normally lower-case (volume, not Volume). In this case i is misleading. row or elem would be much more suitable.

Removing duplicates in lists

The common approach to get a unique collection of items is to use a set. Sets are unordered collections of distinct objects. To create a set from any iterable, you can simply pass it to the built-in set() function. If you later need a real list again, you can similarly pass the set to the list() function. The following example should cover whatever you … Read more

Convert list to array in Java [duplicate]

Either: or: Note that this works only for arrays of reference types. For arrays of primitive types, use the traditional way: Update: It is recommended now to use list.toArray(new Foo[0]);, not list.toArray(new Foo[list.size()]);. From JetBrains Intellij Idea inspection: There are two styles to convert a collection to an array: either using a pre-sized array (like … Read more
