Question

I am having three arraylist,Here I have to concatenate 2 arraylist and display it into third arraylist.My coding is given below,

Coding::

List<String> firstName  = new ArrayList<String>();
List<String> lastName  = new ArrayList<String>();
         /////inserting first name
         String string1 = "aaa";
         firstName.add(string1);
         String string2 = "bbb";
         firstName.add(string2);
         ///////inserting last name
         String string3 = "yyy";
         lastName.add(string3);
         String string4 = "zzz";
         lastName.add(string4);

 /////////first name 
        Iterator<String> iterator = firstName.iterator();
        while(iterator.hasNext()){
         String FirstName = iterator.next();
         System.out.println(" FirstName   "+FirstName);
        }
 //////////////last name
        Iterator<String> iterator1 = lastName.iterator();
        while(iterator1.hasNext()){
         String LastName = iterator1.next();
         System.out.println(" LastName  "+LastName);
        }
List<String> name=new ArrayList<String>();
        ///////////name=firstname+lastname
        Iterator<String> iterator11 = lastName.iterator();
        while(iterator11.hasNext()){
         name=firstName+lastName;///////here getting error
               ////////////what should I do here to add two arraylist<String> value
         System.out.println(" Name = FirstName+LastName  "+name);
        }

Output I want::

FirstName   aaa
FirstName   bbb
LastName  yyy
LastName  zzz
Name = FirstName+LastName aaayyy
Name = FirstName+LastName bbbzzz

But I dont know how to concatenate two arrayList and display it in the third arrayList,Please help me.. thanks in advance ..

If the lists have equal size, you can iterate them together:

Iterator<String> iterator = firstName.iterator();
Iterator<String> iterator1 = lastName.iterator();

while(iterator.hasNext() && iterator1.hasNext()){
    String FirstName = iterator.next();
    String LastName = iterator1.next();
    // add FirstName and LastName to the new list here
}

UPDATE

Iterator<String> iterator = firstName.iterator();
Iterator<String> iterator1 = lastName.iterator();
List<String> newList = new ArrayList<String>();

while(iterator.hasNext() && iterator1.hasNext()){
    String FirstName = iterator.next();
    String LastName = iterator1.next();
    newList.add(FirstName + " " + LastName);
}
