Answer / zaheer ahmed
"You can so easily mistake "Collections" for "Collection"—be careful.
Keep in mind that Collections is a class, with static utility methods, while Collection
is an interface with declarations of the methods common to most collections
including add(), remove(), contains(), size(), and iterator()"

Answer / nirmal kanna s
The Collections class is a utility class having static methods for doing operations on objects of classes which implement the Collection interface. For example, Collections has methods for finding the max element in a Collection.
The Collection interface defines methods common to structures which hold other objects. List and Set are subinterfaces of Collection, and ArrayList and HashSet are examples of concrete collections.
Collection : The root interface of Java Collections Framework.
Collections : A utility class that is a member of the Java Collections Framework.

l.add("raj");
l.add("dev");
l.add("raj");
l.add("dev");
l.add("raj");
