    List < String > list_Strings = new ArrayList < String > ();

    list_Strings.add("One");
    list_Strings.add("Two");
    list_Strings.add("Three");
    list_Strings.add("Four");
    list_Strings.add("Five");

    // print the original string.
    System.out.println("Original list: " + list_Strings);

    // string extracted from given index.
    List < String > sub_List = list_Strings.subList(0, 3);

    // print extracted string.
