title: Java ArrayList search using the first letter
body: <p>I have an ArrayList in java with a bunch of string items inside it, I want to be able to specify a single letter and in return get all of the strings that begun with the single letter that was specified. </p>
  
  <p>Is there a method I can call upon which makes this process easy? or would I just have to iterate through each item in the array list at index 0? </p>
  
  <p>I dont know a lot about Array Lists but the assignment I am working on requires me to use them, I hope someone can shed some light on this for me! :-) </p>
  
  <p>Also I know there are similar questions on here that tell you how to search an array list, I just want to know how to do it whilst looking for the first letter of each item in the array list to see if the letter matches the letter that the user gives to it.</p>
