How to get last index of a sub list from another list?

by

The java.util.Collections class consists exclusively of static methods that operate on or return collections. It contains polymorphic algorithms that operate on collections, “wrappers”, which return a new collection backed by a specified collection, and a few other odds and ends.

Collections.lastIndexOfSubList () method will returns the starting position of the last occurrence of the specified target list within the specified source list, or -1 if there is no such occurrence.
Syntax: public static int lastIndexOfSubList(List source, List target)

Example

package com.w3schools;
 
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Collections;
import java.util.List;
 
public class Test { 
public static void main(String a[]){         
        List<String> list1 = new ArrayList<String>();
        list1.add("vikas");
        list1.add("anil");
        list1.add("amit");
        list1.add("mahesh");
        list1.add("perl");
        List<String> list2 = new ArrayList<String>();
        list2.add("amit");
        list2.add("mahesh");
        System.out.println("Last index of list2: "
                    +Collections.lastIndexOfSubList(list1, list2));
    }
}

Output

Last index of list2: 2
