Instead of the ArrayList class you should use the List interface 
for variables. And for each usage you should think about whether 
to use ArrayList or LinkedList. Using the interface instead of 
an interface-implementing class gives us freedom to change the 
implementation easily.

- ArrayList is better (faster) for indexed access, especially if 
  you know how large it will get in the end. It is slow when it 
  has to reallocate storage.

- LinkedList is better (faster) if you process the list 
  sequentially, because you don't have to worry about reallocation 
  and you will never pre-allocated too much memory.
