You can split an ArrayList into two using the subList method. Here's an example code snippet to demonstrate this:

ArrayList<Integer> originalList = new ArrayList<>();
//add elements to the original list

int middle = originalList.size() / 2;
List<Integer> firstHalf = originalList.subList(0, middle);
List<Integer> secondHalf = originalList.subList(middle, originalList.size());

This code will split the original list into two halves - firstHalf and secondHalf. The subList method takes two parameters: the starting index (inclusive) and the ending index (exclusive) for the sublist. In this case, we are splitting the list at the middle index.

Keep in mind that subList returns a view of the original list, so any changes made to these sublists will reflect in the original list as well. If you need independent copies of these sublists, you can create new ArrayLists and pass these sublists as arguments to their constructors.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any more questions.

subList as the bot shows

#

with stuff like this, it generally helps to just skim through the javadoc

#

technically there is Spliterator as well

i don't know if that has any performance impact

subList is faster than light

#

bc it only create a view

#

its not a "new independent list"

#

if u need (for whatever reason) a completely independent list, u would have to make copies

#

new ArrayList<>(original.subList(...))

#

which is also as fast as it could possibly be

#

that said, unless ur working with lists of size 1 million, u really shouldnt bother about speed

#

as ur computer can deal with lists smaller than ~1 million in just a few nanoseconds anyways
