Answer
Misusing its dynamic sizing can lead to inefficiency.
While ArrayList automatically resizes, frequent resizing can cause performance issues. If you know the number of elements in advance, initialize the ArrayList with a specific capacity to minimize resizing. For example, if you expect 1000 products, initializing with this capacity avoids unnecessary resizing.
