The
addAll()method of
java.util.Collectionsclass is used to add all of the specified elements to the specified collection. Elements to be added may be specified individually or as an array. The behavior of this convenience method is identical to that of c.addAll(Arrays.asList(elements)), but this method is likely to run significantly faster under most implementations.
Syntax:public static boolean addAll(Collection c, T... elements)Parameters:
This method takes the following argument as a parameter
This method returns true if the collection changed as a result of the call.
Exception:This method throws
NullPointerExceptionif elements contains one or more null values and c does not permit null elements, or if c or elements are null Below are the examples to illustrate the
addAll()method
Example 1: Java
// Java program to demonstrate
// addAll() method
import java.util.*;
public class GFG1 {
public static void main(String[] argv) throws Exception
{
try {
// creating object of List<String>
List<String> arrlist = new ArrayList<String>();
// Adding element to arrlist
arrlist.add("A");
arrlist.add("B");
arrlist.add("C");
arrlist.add("Tajmahal");
// printing the arrlist before operation
System.out.println("arrlist before operation : " + arrlist);
// add the specified element to specified Collections
// using addAll() method
boolean b = Collections.addAll(arrlist, "1", "2", "3");
// printing the arrlist after operation
System.out.println("result : " + b);
// printing the arrlist after operation
System.out.println("arrlist after operation : " + arrlist);
}
catch (NullPointerException e) {
System.out.println("Exception thrown : " + e);
}
catch (IllegalArgumentException e) {
System.out.println("Exception thrown : " + e);
}
}
}
Output:
arrlist before operation : [A, B, C, Tajmahal] result : true arrlist after operation : [A, B, C, Tajmahal, 1, 2, 3]Output:
arrlist before operation : [A, B, C, Tajmahal] result : true arrlist after operation : [A, B, C, Tajmahal, 1, 2, 3]Example 2:
For
NullPointerException Java
// Java program to demonstrate
// addAll() method
import java.util.*;
public class GFG1 {
public static void main(String[] argv) throws Exception
{
try {
// creating object of List<String>
List<String> arrlist = new ArrayList<String>();
// Adding element to arrlist
arrlist.add("A");
arrlist.add("B");
arrlist.add("C");
arrlist.add("Tajmahal");
// printing the arrlist before operation
System.out.println("arrlist before operation : " + arrlist);
// add the specified element to specified Collections
// using addAll() method
System.out.println("\nTrying to add the null value with arrlist");
boolean b = Collections.addAll(null, arrlist);
// printing the arrlist after operation
System.out.println("result : " + b);
// printing the arrlist after operation
System.out.println("arrlist after operation : " + arrlist);
}
catch (NullPointerException e) {
System.out.println("Exception thrown : " + e);
}
catch (IllegalArgumentException e) {
System.out.println("Exception thrown : " + e);
}
}
}
Output:
arrlist before operation : [A, B, C, Tajmahal] Trying to add the null value with arrlist Exception thrown : java.lang.NullPointerException
