MyStrings.add(\"Cat\");

Answer 1

If you want to remove items that don't match from MyStrings rather than create a new ArrayList you will need to use an Iterator as this is the only safe way to modify a ArrayList while iterating over it.

myStrings = new ArrayList();
myStrings.add("Dog");
myStrings.add("Cat");
myStrings.add("Can");
myStrings.add("Ant");
myStrings.add("Str");
String sweet="c";

sweet = sweet.toLowerCase();
Iterator i = myStrings.iterator();

while (i.hasNext()) {
  if (! i.next().toLowerCase().startsWith(sweet)) {
    i.remove();
  }
}
