Add multiple String variables to ArrayList

Question

Suppose I have a lot of String Variables(100 for example):

   String str1 = \"abc\";
    String str2 = \"123\";
    String str3 = \"aaa\";
....
    String st         


        

Answer 1

Use an array:

String[] strs = { "abc","123","zzz" };

for(int i =  0; i < strs.length; i++){
     list.add(strs[i]);  //something like this?
}

This idea is so popular that there's built-in methods to do it. For example:

  list.addAll( Arrays.asList(strs) );

will add your array elements to an existing list. If you just want a list with only the array elements, you can do it on one line:

  List list = Arrays.asList( strs );
