Method Details
- 
size
public int size()Returns the number of elements in this set (its cardinality).If this set contains more than
Integer.MAX_VALUEelements, returnsInteger.MAX_VALUE. - 
isEmpty
public boolean isEmpty()Returnstrueif this set contains no elements. - 
contains
Returnstrueif this set contains the specified element.More formally, returns
trueif and only if this set contains an elementesuch thatObjects.equals(o, e).- Specified by:
 containsin interfaceCollection<T>- Specified by:
 containsin interfaceSet<T>- Parameters:
 o- element whose presence in this set is to be tested- Returns:
 trueif this set contains the specified element- Throws:
 ClassCastException- if the type of the specified element is incompatible with this set (optional)NullPointerException- if the specified element is null and this set does not permit null elements (optional)
 - 
iterator
Returns an iterator over the elements in this set. The elements are returned in no particular order (unless this set is an instance of some class that provides a guarantee). - 
toArray
Returns an array containing all of the elements in this set. If this set makes any guarantees as to what order its elements are returned by its iterator, this method must return the elements in the same order.The returned array will be "safe" in that no references to it are maintained by this set. (In other words, this method must allocate a new array even if this set is backed by an array). The caller is thus free to modify the returned array.
This method acts as bridge between array-based and collection-based APIs.
 - 
toArray
public <T> T[] toArray(T[] a) Returns an array containing all of the elements in this set; the runtime type of the returned array is that of the specified array. If the set fits in the specified array, it is returned therein. Otherwise, a new array is allocated with the runtime type of the specified array and the size of this set.If this set fits in the specified array with room to spare (i.e., the array has more elements than this set), the element in the array immediately following the end of the set is set to
null. (This is useful in determining the length of this set only if the caller knows that this set does not contain any null elements.)If this set makes any guarantees as to what order its elements are returned by its iterator, this method must return the elements in the same order.
Like the
toArray()method, this method acts as bridge between array-based and collection-based APIs. Further, this method allows precise control over the runtime type of the output array, and may, under certain circumstances, be used to save allocation costs.Suppose
xis a set known to contain only strings. The following code can be used to dump the set into a newly allocated array ofString:String[] y = x.toArray(new String[0]);
Note thattoArray(new Object[0])is identical in function totoArray().- Specified by:
 toArrayin interfaceCollection<T>- Specified by:
 toArrayin interfaceSet<T>- Parameters:
 a- the array into which the elements of this set are to be stored, if it is big enough; otherwise, a new array of the same runtime type is allocated for this purpose.- Returns:
 - an array containing all the elements in this set
 - Throws:
 ArrayStoreException- if the runtime type of the specified array is not a supertype of the runtime type of every element in this setNullPointerException- if the specified array is null
 - 
add
Adds the specified element to this set if it is not already present (optional operation). More formally, adds the specified elementeto this set if the set contains no elemente2such thatObjects.equals(e, e2). If this set already contains the element, the call leaves the set unchanged and returnsfalse. In combination with the restriction on constructors, this ensures that sets never contain duplicate elements.The stipulation above does not imply that sets must accept all elements; sets may refuse to add any particular element, including
null, and throw an exception, as described in the specification forCollection.add. Individual set implementations should clearly document any restrictions on the elements that they may contain.- Specified by:
 addin interfaceCollection<T>- Specified by:
 addin interfaceSet<T>- Parameters:
 e- element to be added to this set- Returns:
 trueif this set did not already contain the specified element- Throws:
 UnsupportedOperationException- if theaddoperation is not supported by this setClassCastException- if the class of the specified element prevents it from being added to this setNullPointerException- if the specified element is null and this set does not permit null elementsIllegalArgumentException- if some property of the specified element prevents it from being added to this set
 - 
remove
Removes the specified element from this set if it is present (optional operation). More formally, removes an elementesuch thatObjects.equals(o, e), if this set contains such an element. Returnstrueif this set contained the element (or equivalently, if this set changed as a result of the call). (This set will not contain the element once the call returns.)- Specified by:
 removein interfaceCollection<T>- Specified by:
 removein interfaceSet<T>- Parameters:
 o- object to be removed from this set, if present- Returns:
 trueif this set contained the specified element- Throws:
 ClassCastException- if the type of the specified element is incompatible with this set (optional)NullPointerException- if the specified element is null and this set does not permit null elements (optional)UnsupportedOperationException- if theremoveoperation is not supported by this set
 - 
containsAll
Returnstrueif this set contains all of the elements of the specified collection. If the specified collection is also a set, this method returnstrueif it is a subset of this set.- Specified by:
 containsAllin interfaceCollection<T>- Specified by:
 containsAllin interfaceSet<T>- Parameters:
 c- collection to be checked for containment in this set- Returns:
 trueif this set contains all of the elements of the specified collection- Throws:
 ClassCastException- if the types of one or more elements in the specified collection are incompatible with this set (optional)NullPointerException- if the specified collection contains one or more null elements and this set does not permit null elements (optional), or if the specified collection is null- See Also:
 
 - 
addAll
Adds all of the elements in the specified collection to this set if they're not already present (optional operation). If the specified collection is also a set, theaddAlloperation effectively modifies this set so that its value is the union of the two sets. The behavior of this operation is undefined if the specified collection is modified while the operation is in progress.- Specified by:
 addAllin interfaceCollection<T>- Specified by:
 addAllin interfaceSet<T>- Parameters:
 c- collection containing elements to be added to this set- Returns:
 trueif this set changed as a result of the call- Throws:
 UnsupportedOperationException- if theaddAlloperation is not supported by this setClassCastException- if the class of an element of the specified collection prevents it from being added to this setNullPointerException- if the specified collection contains one or more null elements and this set does not permit null elements, or if the specified collection is nullIllegalArgumentException- if some property of an element of the specified collection prevents it from being added to this set- See Also:
 
 - 
retainAll
Retains only the elements in this set that are contained in the specified collection (optional operation). In other words, removes from this set all of its elements that are not contained in the specified collection. If the specified collection is also a set, this operation effectively modifies this set so that its value is the intersection of the two sets.- Specified by:
 retainAllin interfaceCollection<T>- Specified by:
 retainAllin interfaceSet<T>- Parameters:
 c- collection containing elements to be retained in this set- Returns:
 trueif this set changed as a result of the call- Throws:
 UnsupportedOperationException- if theretainAlloperation is not supported by this setClassCastException- if the class of an element of this set is incompatible with the specified collection (optional)NullPointerException- if this set contains a null element and the specified collection does not permit null elements (optional), or if the specified collection is null- See Also:
 
 - 
removeAll
Removes from this set all of its elements that are contained in the specified collection (optional operation). If the specified collection is also a set, this operation effectively modifies this set so that its value is the asymmetric set difference of the two sets.- Specified by:
 removeAllin interfaceCollection<T>- Specified by:
 removeAllin interfaceSet<T>- Parameters:
 c- collection containing elements to be removed from this set- Returns:
 trueif this set changed as a result of the call- Throws:
 UnsupportedOperationException- if theremoveAlloperation is not supported by this setClassCastException- if the class of an element of this set is incompatible with the specified collection (optional)NullPointerException- if this set contains a null element and the specified collection does not permit null elements (optional), or if the specified collection is null- See Also:
 
 - 
clear
public void clear()Removes all of the elements from this set (optional operation). The set will be empty after this call returns. - 
sort
public void sort()This method sorts the items contained in this set in ascending order.
