The remove(Object O) method of SortedSet interface is used to remove a particular element from this SortedSet.
Syntax:
boolean remove(Object O)
Parameters: The parameter O is of the type of element maintained by this SortedSet and specifies the element to be removed from the Set.
Return Value: This method returns True if the specified element is present in the Set otherwise it returns False.
Note: The remove() method in SortedSet is inherited from the Set interface in Java.
Below program illustrate the java.util.SortedSet.remove(Object O) method:
Java
// Java code to illustrate
// SortedSet.remove() method
import java.util.*;
public class SortedSetDemo {
public static void main(String args[])
{
// Creating an empty Set
SortedSet<String> set
= new TreeSet<String>();
// Use add() method to
// add elements into the Set
set.add("Welcome");
set.add("To");
set.add("Geeks");
set.add("4");
set.add("Geeks");
// Displaying the Set
System.out.println("SortedSet: "
+ set);
// Removing elements
// using remove() method
set.remove("Geeks");
set.remove("4");
set.remove("Welcome");
// Displaying the Set after removal
System.out.println(
"SortedSet after "
+ "removing elements: "
+ set);
}
}
SortedSet: [4, Geeks, To, Welcome] SortedSet after removing elements: [To]
