Set Interface in java,
It is the type of Collection and Its the subclass of Collection interface so that all methods Collection
interface can also present in Set interface.
The important feature of Set interface is that it doesnt allow duplicacy or we can say it doesnt contain
duplicate elements.
We know Set is an interface so In order to use it we need an implementation.
We have many options in Java Collections API like
Java.util.Hashset, Java.util.LinkedHashSet, java.util.TreeSet,andjava.util.EnumSet
They all are little different with each other.
These are some methods of Set:
add( ) : It adds element to the collection.
clear( ): Removes or clear all elements or object from the collection
isEmpty( ): It returns true If collection is empty and having size 0.
iterator( ): It use for retrieving objects.
remove( ): It removes particular object from collection.
size( ): It returns the actual size of collection or number of elements in a collection.
Here I am writing code to explain how to implement simple Set Collection.
int arrayTest[] = {53,23,35,64,54,53};
Set<Integer> setHashSet = new HashSet<Integer>();
try{
for(int i = 0; i<6; i++){
setHashSet.add(arrayTest [i]);
}
System.out.println(setHashSet);
TreeSet setTreeSet = new TreeSet<Integer>( setHashSet);
System.out.println("Great. It is sorted : : :: ");
System.out.println(setTreeSet);
System.out.println("My First number: "+
(Integer) setTreeSet.first());
System.out.println("My last number: "+
(Integer) setTreeSet.last());
}
catch(Exception e){}
}
}
Here is the output:
[53,23,35,64,54]
Great. It is sorted : : ::
[23,35,53,54,64]
My First numbers:23
My last number:64
