Set (Java SE 20 & JDK 20)

Type Parameters:: E - the type of elements maintained by this set

All Superinterfaces:: Collection<E>, Iterable<E>

All Known Subinterfaces:: EventSet, NavigableSet<E>, SortedSet<E>

All Known Implementing Classes:: AbstractSet, ConcurrentHashMap.KeySetView, ConcurrentSkipListSet, CopyOnWriteArraySet, EnumSet, HashSet, JobStateReasons, LinkedHashSet, TreeSet

A collection that contains no duplicate elements. More formally, sets contain no pair of elements

e1

and

e2

such that

e1.equals(e2)

, and at most one null element. As implied by its name, this interface models the mathematical

set

abstraction.

The Set interface places additional stipulations, beyond those inherited from the Collection interface, on the contracts of all constructors and on the contracts of the add, equals and hashCode methods. Declarations for other inherited methods are also included here for convenience. (The specifications accompanying these declarations have been tailored to the Set interface, but they do not contain any additional stipulations.)

The additional stipulation on constructors is, not surprisingly, that all constructors must create a set that contains no duplicate elements (as defined above).

Note: Great care must be exercised if mutable objects are used as set elements. The behavior of a set is not specified if the value of an object is changed in a manner that affects equals comparisons while the object is an element in the set. A special case of this prohibition is that it is not permissible for a set to contain itself as an element.

Some set implementations have restrictions on the elements that they may contain. For example, some implementations prohibit null elements, and some have restrictions on the types of their elements. Attempting to add an ineligible element throws an unchecked exception, typically NullPointerException or ClassCastException. Attempting to query the presence of an ineligible element may throw an exception, or it may simply return false; some implementations will exhibit the former behavior and some will exhibit the latter. More generally, attempting an operation on an ineligible element whose completion would not result in the insertion of an ineligible element into the set may throw an exception or it may succeed, at the option of the implementation. Such exceptions are marked as "optional" in the specification for this interface.

Unmodifiable Sets

The Set.of and Set.copyOf static factory methods provide a convenient way to create unmodifiable sets. The Set instances created by these methods have the following characteristics:

They are unmodifiable. Elements cannot be added or removed. Calling any mutator method on the Set will always cause UnsupportedOperationException to be thrown. However, if the contained elements are themselves mutable, this may cause the Set to behave inconsistently or its contents to appear to change.
They disallow null elements. Attempts to create them with null elements result in NullPointerException.
They are serializable if all elements are serializable.
They reject duplicate elements at creation time. Duplicate elements passed to a static factory method result in IllegalArgumentException.
The iteration order of set elements is unspecified and is subject to change.
They are value-based. Programmers should treat instances that are equal as interchangeable and should not use them for synchronization, or unpredictable behavior may occur. For example, in a future release, synchronization may fail. Callers should make no assumptions about the identity of the returned instances. Factories are free to create new instances or reuse existing ones.
They are serialized as specified on the Serialized Form page.

This interface is a member of the Java Collections Framework.

Method Details
- size
  int size()
  
  Returns the number of elements in this set (its cardinality). If this set contains more than Integer.MAX_VALUE elements, returns Integer.MAX_VALUE.
  
  Specified by:
  
  size in interface Collection<E>
  
  Returns:
  
  the number of elements in this set (its cardinality)
- isEmpty
  boolean isEmpty()
  
  Returns true if this set contains no elements.
  
  Specified by:
  
  isEmpty in interface Collection<E>
  
  Returns:
  
  true if this set contains no elements
- contains
  Returns true if this set contains the specified element. More formally, returns true if and only if this set contains an element e such that Objects.equals(o, e).
  
  Specified by:
  
  contains in interface Collection<E>
  
  Parameters:
  
  o - element whose presence in this set is to be tested
  
  Returns:
  
  true if 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).
  
  Specified by:
  
  iterator in interface Collection<E>
  
  Specified by:
  
  iterator in interface Iterable<E>
  
  Returns:
  
  an iterator over the elements in this set
- 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.
  
  Specified by:
  
  toArray in interface Collection<E>
  
  Returns:
  
  an array containing all the elements in this set
- toArray
  <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 x is a set known to contain only strings. The following code can be used to dump the set into a newly allocated array of String:
```
     String[] y = x.toArray(new String[0]);
```
  Note that
  toArray(new Object[0])
  is identical in function to
  toArray()
  .
  
  Specified by:
  
  toArray in interface Collection<E>
  
  Type Parameters:
  
  T - the component type of the array to contain the collection
  
  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 set
  
  NullPointerException - 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 element
  e
  to this set if the set contains no element
  e2
  such that
  Objects.equals(e, e2)
  . If this set already contains the element, the call leaves the set unchanged and returns
  false
  . 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 for Collection.add. Individual set implementations should clearly document any restrictions on the elements that they may contain.
  
  Specified by:
  
  add in interface Collection<E>
  
  Parameters:
  
  e - element to be added to this set
  
  Returns:
  
  true if this set did not already contain the specified element
  
  Throws:
  
  UnsupportedOperationException - if the add operation is not supported by this set
  
  ClassCastException - if the class of the specified element prevents it from being added to this set
  
  NullPointerException - if the specified element is null and this set does not permit null elements
  
  IllegalArgumentException - 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 element e such that Objects.equals(o, e), if this set contains such an element. Returns true if 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:
  
  remove in interface Collection<E>
  
  Parameters:
  
  o - object to be removed from this set, if present
  
  Returns:
  
  true if 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 the remove operation is not supported by this set
- containsAll
  Returns true if this set contains all of the elements of the specified collection. If the specified collection is also a set, this method returns true if it is a subset of this set.
  Specified by:
  
  containsAll in interface Collection<E>
  
  Parameters:
  
  c - collection to be checked for containment in this set
  
  Returns:
  
  true if 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:
  - contains(Object)
- 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, the addAll operation 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:
  
  addAll in interface Collection<E>
  
  Parameters:
  
  c - collection containing elements to be added to this set
  
  Returns:
  
  true if this set changed as a result of the call
  
  Throws:
  
  UnsupportedOperationException - if the addAll operation is not supported by this set
  
  ClassCastException - if the class of an element of the specified collection prevents it from being added to this set
  
  NullPointerException - if the specified collection contains one or more null elements and this set does not permit null elements, or if the specified collection is null
  
  IllegalArgumentException - if some property of an element of the specified collection prevents it from being added to this set
  
  See Also:
  - add(Object)
- 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:
  
  retainAll in interface Collection<E>
  
  Parameters:
  
  c - collection containing elements to be retained in this set
  
  Returns:
  
  true if this set changed as a result of the call
  
  Throws:
  
  UnsupportedOperationException - if the retainAll operation is not supported by this set
  
  ClassCastException - 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:
  - remove(Object)
- 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:
  
  removeAll in interface Collection<E>
  
  Parameters:
  
  c - collection containing elements to be removed from this set
  
  Returns:
  
  true if this set changed as a result of the call
  
  Throws:
  
  UnsupportedOperationException - if the removeAll operation is not supported by this set
  
  ClassCastException - 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:
  - remove(Object)
  - contains(Object)
- clear
  void clear()
  
  Removes all of the elements from this set (optional operation). The set will be empty after this call returns.
  
  Specified by:
  
  clear in interface Collection<E>
  
  Throws:
  
  UnsupportedOperationException - if the clear method is not supported by this set
- equals
  Compares the specified object with this set for equality. Returns true if the specified object is also a set, the two sets have the same size, and every member of the specified set is contained in this set (or equivalently, every member of this set is contained in the specified set). This definition ensures that the equals method works properly across different implementations of the set interface.
  Specified by:
  
  equals in interface Collection<E>
  
  Overrides:
  
  equals in class Object
  
  Parameters:
  
  o - object to be compared for equality with this set
  
  Returns:
  
  true if the specified object is equal to this set
  
  See Also:
  - Object.hashCode()
  - HashMap
- hashCode
  int hashCode()
  
  Returns the hash code value for this set. The hash code of a set is defined to be the sum of the hash codes of the elements in the set, where the hash code of a
  null
  element is defined to be zero. This ensures that
  s1.equals(s2)
  implies that
  s1.hashCode()==s2.hashCode()
  for any two sets
  s1
  and
  s2
  , as required by the general contract of
  Object.hashCode()
  .
  Specified by:
  
  hashCode in interface Collection<E>
  
  Overrides:
  
  hashCode in class Object
  
  Returns:
  
  the hash code value for this set
  
  See Also:
  - Object.equals(Object)
  - equals(Object)
- spliterator
  Creates a
  Spliterator
  over the elements in this set.
  
  The Spliterator reports Spliterator.DISTINCT. Implementations should document the reporting of additional characteristic values.
  
  Specified by:
  
  spliterator in interface Collection<E>
  
  Specified by:
  
  spliterator in interface Iterable<E>
  
  Implementation Requirements:
  
  The default implementation creates a late-binding spliterator from the set's Iterator. The spliterator inherits the fail-fast properties of the set's iterator.
  The created Spliterator additionally reports Spliterator.SIZED.
  
  Implementation Note:
  
  The created Spliterator additionally reports Spliterator.SUBSIZED.
  
  Returns:
  
  a Spliterator over the elements in this set

- of
  Returns an unmodifiable set containing an arbitrary number of elements. See
  Unmodifiable Sets
  for details.
  API Note:
  This method also accepts a single array as an argument. The element type of the resulting set will be the component type of the array, and the size of the set will be equal to the length of the array. To create a set with a single element that is an array, do the following:
```
     String[] array = ... ;
     Set<String[]> list = Set.<String[]>of(array);
 
```
  This will cause the Set.of(E) method to be invoked instead.
  Type Parameters:
  
  E - the Set's element type
  
  Parameters:
  
  elements - the elements to be contained in the set
  
  Returns:
  
  a Set containing the specified elements
  
  Throws:
  
  IllegalArgumentException - if there are any duplicate elements
  
  NullPointerException - if an element is null or if the array is null
  
  Since:
  
  9
- copyOf
  Returns an
  unmodifiable Set
  containing the elements of the given Collection. The given Collection must not be null, and it must not contain any null elements. If the given Collection contains duplicate elements, an arbitrary element of the duplicates is preserved. If the given Collection is subsequently modified, the returned Set will not reflect such modifications.
  
  Implementation Note:
  
  If the given Collection is an unmodifiable Set, calling copyOf will generally not create a copy.
  
  Type Parameters:
  
  E - the Set's element type
  
  Parameters:
  
  coll - a Collection from which elements are drawn, must be non-null
  
  Returns:
  
  a Set containing the elements of the given Collection
  
  Throws:
  
  NullPointerException - if coll is null, or if it contains any nulls
