Sentence: I like such... as vs. I like ... such as...

[Anna.ha]

I have two following sentences

1- I like such fruits as grape, apple, pineapple
2- I like fruits such as grape, apple, pineapple

OR

3- Applications such as A, B, C... are
4- Such applications as A, B, C... are

Do they have the same meaning? Is the latter of each pair used to emphasize? If it's not the case, could anyone show me the difference between them and the context when to use either of them?

Hi,

'Such as' would be preferable in your sentences because it suggests 'for example' 'Such + noun' indicates 'particular'.
