The main difference between Set and List is that Set does not accept duplicate values. One more difference between the Set and List interfaces is that there is no guarantee that elements are stored in sequential order.
We will mainly be discussing HashSet in this section. We will take an example class and try to understand this concept. Create a class and name it hashSetexample for this section, and create an object within the class to use HashSet; it'll suggest you add the argument type, which is String in our case:
package coreJava;
import java.util.HashSet;
public class hashSetexample {
public static void main(String[] args) {
HashSet<String> hs= new HashSet<String>();
}
}In your IDE when you type hs., it'll show you all the methods provided by HashSet:
Start by adding a...
