Okay, so it turns out that [livejournal.com profile] talismancer's post yesterday was filler. The moral balance has swung back!

As tempting as it is to fulfill the entirety of NaBloPoMo with us commenting on each other's posts, I feel like I should actually write something. So in the interests of increasing audience participation, I shall set a Java puzzler.

The puzzler consists of the following class:

import java.util.ArrayList;

public class Foo {
    private ArrayList<Object> barList = new ArrayList<Object>();

    public void fillBarList() {
        for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
            Object o = new Object();
            System.out.println("Adding " + o + " at index " + i);
            barList.add(o);
        }
    }

    public void emptyBarList() {
        for (Object o : barList) {
            System.out.println("Removing " + o);
            barList.remove(o);
        }
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Foo f = new Foo();
        f.fillBarList();
        f.emptyBarList();
    }
}

Without running it (because that would be cheating and you will be mocked for it), what do you think will happen when Foo.main() is called?
