Welcome! Today, I am thrilled to guide you through a fascinating task involving ArrayLists in Java: pairing up 'opposite' elements. Specifically, we're going to learn how to access and manipulate elements within a Java ArrayList
. The task at hand provides an excellent opportunity to elevate your ArrayList-handling skills within the Java language. Are you ready to get started? Let's dive right in!
Our task today is to form pairs of 'opposite' elements in a given ArrayList
of integers. In an ArrayList
consisting of n
elements, the first and last elements are known as 'opposite', the second element and the second last element are considered 'opposite', and so on. For an ArrayList
with an odd length, the middle element is its own 'opposite'.
You will be provided with an ArrayList
of n
integers. The value of n
could range from 1 to 100, inclusive. The task will require you to return an ArrayList
of String
objects. Each String
will consist of an element and its 'opposite' element joined by a space.
