Java: Choosing the Right Collection
Answer
Choose by the contract and dominant operation: order, uniqueness, lookup, or queueing.
Strong collection choices start from what the code needs most often. If order matters, think `List`. If uniqueness or membership dominates, think `Set`. If direct lookup by key dominates, think `Map`.
