Java List/Collections/Map something idk - Loses - Mar 16, 2017
I'm trying to find out if it's possible with the capabilities of Java, without having to right helper methods but rather do it in a few lines of code.
So what I am looking for is essentially a list with a set amount of entries.
So like
Code
int[] recentVisitors = new int[5];I essentially want to set the latestVisitor to recentVisitors[0] and move everyone ++ except for the last guy, which he would simply be GC'd.
I UNDERSTAND that I can do this with my array. I was curious if Java has something that does this, I know there's a lot of shit that I don't know about so I am just trying to expand my knowledge.
Thanks in advance,

Why not just use a stack or queue for this? I'm a little confused what you're trying to do, but one of these should be better fit for the job than an array.

An alternative is your own wrapper of List and override add(all) to check sizing and placement.
A stack, thanks.

Guava has a version of this called an EvictingQueue.

It sounds like you need a Queue of a fixed size.
