Answer / chinnu
Array:arrays is not for our requirement once we create a size next we cant change the size.in advance we cant estimate the size.its taking only homogeneous elements.
Array list:array list is same as collections and vectors.array list is or requirement we can change the size in advance also and estimate the size.its taking both homogeneous and heterogeneous elements .

Answer / prem
Array:
It is mainly used to store and retrive similar datatype
elements.
It is a limited storage.
So it's size not growable and shrinkable.
It will create array out of bound exception while we adding
more elements in an array after exceeding array size..
While we remove elements from array,the array size will be
same.size will not get reduce.
ArrayList:
It is a class.
It is a collection.
It is used to store different datatype objects.
It is growable and shirnkable.
So whenever we add elements in an ArrayList the size of
ArrayList will grow..While we remove element from an
ArrayList the size of ArrayList will get reduce..
So memory will get save..

Answer / vk
Array is a collection of similar data types,ArrayList is not you can store any type of data types in AL.ArrayList will autometically increase 50% of the size which we allocated previously, but Array wasn't.
ArrayList al= new ArrayList();
al.add("a");
al.add(10);
both can be accepted in ArrayList.
