Examples with output

add()

ArrayList<String> languages = new ArrayList<String>();
languages.add("Zero");
languages.add("One");
languages.add("Two");
languages.add("Three");
languages.add("Four");
languages.add("Five");
System.out.println(languages); //[Zero, One, Two, Three, Four, Five]
languages.removeRange(1,3);
System.out.println(languages); //[Zero, Three, Four, Five]

Note : removeRange is not part of public API so we may have to use this line. This line behind calls removeRange() and remove the reange of elements.

languages.subList(1,3).clear();

After removal the postion of elements shifted to left.
Note : in the range we have given, the startIndex is inclusive but endIndex is not inclusive.
