The Java.util.PriorityQueue.contains() method is used to check whether a specific element is present in the PriorityQueue or not. So basically it is used to check if a Queue contains any particular element or not.
Syntax:Priority_Queue.contains(Object element)Parameters:
The parameter
elementis of the type of PriorityQueue. This is the element that needs to be tested if it is present in the queue or not.
Return Value:The method returns
Trueif the element is present in the queue otherwise it returns False. Below programs illustrate the Java.util.PriorityQueue.contains() method:
Program 1: Java
// Java code to illustrate contains()
import java.util.PriorityQueue;
public class PriorityQueueDemo {
public static void main(String args[])
{
// Creating an empty PriorityQueue
PriorityQueue<String> queue = new PriorityQueue<String>();
// Use add() method to add elements into the Queue
queue.add("Welcome");
queue.add("To");
queue.add("Geeks");
queue.add("4");
queue.add("Geeks");
// Displaying the PriorityQueue
System.out.println("PriorityQueue: " + queue);
// Check for "Geeks" in the queue
System.out.println("Does the Queue contains 'Geeks'? "
+queue.contains("Geeks"));
// Check for "4" in the queue
System.out.println("Does the Queue contains '4'? "
+queue.contains("4"));
// Check if the Queue contains "No"
System.out.println("Does the Queue contains 'No'? "
+queue.contains("No"));
}
}
Output:
PriorityQueue: [4, Geeks, To, Welcome, Geeks] Does the Queue contains 'Geeks'? true Does the Queue contains '4'? true Does the Queue contains 'No'? falseProgram 2: Java
// Java code to illustrate contains()
import java.util.*;
public class PriorityQueueDemo {
public static void main(String args[])
{
// Creating an empty PriorityQueue
PriorityQueue<Integer> queue = new PriorityQueue<Integer>();
// Use add() method to add elements into the Queue
queue.add(10);
queue.add(15);
queue.add(30);
queue.add(20);
queue.add(5);
// Displaying the PriorityQueue
System.out.println("PriorityQueue: " + queue);
// Check for '15' in the queue
System.out.println("Does the Queue contains '15'? "
+queue.contains(15));
// Check for '2' in the queue
System.out.println("Does the Queue contains '2'? "
+queue.contains(2));
// Check if the Queue contains '10'
System.out.println("Does the Queue contains '10'? "
+queue.contains(10));
}
}
Output:
PriorityQueue: [5, 10, 30, 20, 15] Does the Queue contains '15'? true Does the Queue contains '2'? false Does the Queue contains '10'? true
