Excellent! I'm really pleased to hear that the change has got you a 300% 
speedup.

It makes perfect sense in the mathematical realm.  A set is a group of
values (or similar).  A subset is another group of values, all of which
are members of the original set.  The subset may contain all of the
values in the original set, or only some of the values in the original
set.  But it does not contain any values not in the original set.

In this particular case, a subset of the array would be another array
containing some (or all) of the values in the original array.

His English is very clear.  It's not his fault your understanding is
lacking.

However, this doesn't apply to the OP's example code. His larger array 
contains alphabetic valueds, while the second list contains integer 
values, IOW it is not a subset of the first array.

But that's not what it contains. 

In fact it looks as though its meant to  be a list of subscripts 
referencing the first array. I don't know what I'd call it other than a 
list of subscripts, but it clearly doesn't match your definition of a 
subset.

But yes, it does.  He has an ArrayList with values.  This is a set.  He
wants another ArrayList containing selected values from the first.  That
is a subset.

The OP is discussing the design.  Whether it uses ArrayLists or any
other collections is an implementation detail.

No, but the result is.

I am with Jerry here: the result ("retval") does indeed contain a subset 
of the entries in "list1", because it does contain some values from it.

Yes, "list2" is a list of subscripts or indexes.  But Eric never talked 
about that as a subset.  He wants to _return_ a "subset of the first 
array" (see above) - "list1" and "list2" are obviously the inputs.

You may claim that Eric's wording is imprecise (e.g. he does not explain 
the role of sorting the result) and a lot of context is lacking which 
prevents us from fully assessing the fitness of his approach - but the 
problem does make sense and he specifically does not abuse the term 
"subset".

Kind regards
