Basically, an array is a set of similar data objects stored in sequential memory locations under a common heading or a variable name. While alinked list is a data structure which contains a sequence of the elements where each element is linked to its next element. There are two fields in an element of linked list.

It's elements can be accessed directly by using the get and set methods, since ArrayList is essentially an array.LinkedList is implemented as a doublelinked list. Its performance on add and remove is better than Arraylist, but worse on get and set methods. Vector is similar with ArrayList, but it is synchronized.
