Updated answer: Although the complexity analysis in this video still stands, in real world applications, ArrayList is the better choice for virtually every single use case. See the pinned comment below for more info.

LinkedLists are a great data structure to be familiar with, but they can be confusing. If you're familiar with ArrayLists in Java and how to use them, then LinkedLists can be used in the same way.

But when should you use a LinkedList vs. an ArrayList? How do you use them - are there any differences. We'll go over all of that and more in this beginner/intermediate Java video tutorial lesson.
