java - Can we use index like array index to access List<T>?

Question

I am wondering if we can use index to access List

For example:

List<Integer> list; 

list[5]     //blah....

Answer 1

Since [] is an operator and java does not support operator overloading you can't use it with List. Instead you have to use the set(int index, T value) and get(int index) methods, which may be verbose but provide exact the same functionality.
