读取这个方法就比较简单了，ArrayList 能够支持随机访问的原因也是很显然的，因为它内部的数据结构是数组，而数组本身就是支持随机访问。该方法首先会判断输入的index值是否越界，然后将数组的 index 位置的元素返回即可。

/*** Returns the element at the specified position in this list.** @param index index of the element to return* @return the element at the specified position in this list* @throws IndexOutOfBoundsException {@inheritDoc}*/public E get(int index) { rangeCheck(index); return (E) elementData[index];}private void rangeCheck(int index) { if (index >= size) throw new IndexOutOfBoundsException(outOfBoundsMsg(index));}[url=][/url]
删除ArrayList 提供了根据下标或者指定对象两种方式的删除功能。需要注意的是该方法的返回值并不相同，如下：
