Example 2: list vs map

LIST: Can store duplicate values,
      Keeps the insertion order. 
      It allows multiple null values, 
      Also we can read a certain value by index.
- ArrayList not syncronized, array based class 
- LinkedList not synchronized, doubly linked
- Vector is synchronized, thread safe
 
 MAP : is a (key-value format) 
      and keys are always unique, 
      and value can be duplicated. 
- HashTable don't have null key, sychronized(thread-safe)
- LinkedHashMap can have null key, keeps order
- HasHMap can have null key, order is not guaranteed
- TreeMap doesn't have null key and keys are sorted
