6. Remove Third Element

Write a Java program to remove the third element from an array list.

Pictorial Presentation:

Sample Solution:-

Java Code:

import java.util.*;
  public class Exercise6 {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
  // Creae a list and add some colors to the list
  List<String> list_Strings = new ArrayList<String>();
  list_Strings.add("Red");
  list_Strings.add("Green");
  list_Strings.add("Orange");
  list_Strings.add("White");
  list_Strings.add("Black");
  // Print the list
  System.out.println(list_Strings);
  // Remove the third element from the list.
  list_Strings.remove(2);
  // Print the list again
  System.out.println("After removing third element from the list:\n"+list_Strings);
 }
}

Sample Output:

[Red, Green, Orange, White, Black]

[Red, Green, White, Black]
