Does anyone know how to assign an element from an ArrayList to a variable?
Specifically, I know that I can print an item using
System.out.println(nameList); but how do I assign the ArrayList element to a
string variable?

Thanks

 String name;

     // Add some names to the ArrayList.
     nameList.add("James");
     nameList.add("Catherine");
     nameList.add("Bill");

     // Now display the items in nameList.
     System.out.println(nameList);
