what list should i use the most?

Question

if i just need to make a list of things... what list should i use?
HashSet?
ArrayList?
LinkedList?
or what?

and is there a List that can store any variable(String, integer, char) in one big list? (like a set in python...)

Answer 1

It depends on what you are planing to do the most with your list.
If you want faster access then array is preferred , if you are performing search operation a lot of time then hashset is recommended. If you want it to be flexible in size then linked list is recommended.

Answer 2

yahel you can store any type of variable in any type of list in C++ also, but it is required to specify the data type before.
And
If you are looking for something like set in python then there is similar data structure namely *set* defined in STL .
