You can use a TreeSet : all elements are always sorted.<br />

Hi,<br />
<br />
I think you could use LinkedList collection classes, and HashMaps along with it for faster data accesses.<br />

Hi,<br />
<br />
I am trying to create a simple search engine and have got a crawler working that stores information of pages into a database. After the user inputs their search times I pull information out of the database and rank it with a certain algorithm. My question is this, I need to record certain information about ranking so I can produce the results ordered by their score. What woud be the best way to do this? I need title, description page and score to be stored for each page and for this information to be presented to me in order of score (highest to lowest).<br />
<br />
Thanks in advance.

What collection should I use?

Java is a platform-independent, object-oriented programming language and run-time environment, designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible such that developers can write one set of code across all platforms using libraries. Most devices will not run Java natively, and require a run-time component to be installed in order to execute a Java program.
