The Java Collections swap(List<?>, int, int) method is used to swap the elements at the specified positions in the specified list.
DeclarationFollowing is the declaration for java.util.Collections.swap() method.
public static void swap(List<?> list,int i,int j)Parameters
list − The list in which to the swap elements.
i − The index of one element to be swapped.
j − The index of the other element to be swapped.
NA
ExceptionIndexOutOfBoundsException − This is thrown if either i or j is out of range (i < 0 || i >= list.size() || j < 0 || j >= list.size()).
Swapping elements of List of Integer ExampleThe following example shows the usage of Java Collection swap(List,int, int) method. We've created a List object with some integers, printed the original list. Using swap(List, int, int) method, we've swapped elements of the list and then printed the updated list.
package com.tutorialspoint; import java.util.ArrayList; import java.util.Arrays; import java.util.Collections; import java.util.List; public class CollectionsDemo { public static void main(String[] args) { List<Integer> list = new ArrayList<>(Arrays.asList(1,2,3,4,5)); System.out.println("Initial collection value: " + list); // swap values of this collection Collections.swap(list, 0, 4); System.out.println("Final collection value: "+list); } }Output
Let us compile and run the above program, this will produce the following result −
Initial collection value: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] Final collection value: [5, 2, 3, 4, 1]Swapping elements of List of String Example
The following example shows the usage of Java Collection swap(List,int, int) method. We've created a List object with some strings, printed the original list. Using swap(List, int, int) method, we've swapped elements of the list and then printed the updated list.
package com.tutorialspoint; import java.util.ArrayList; import java.util.Arrays; import java.util.Collections; import java.util.List; public class CollectionsDemo { public static void main(String[] args) { List<String> list = new ArrayList<>(Arrays.asList("A","B","C","D","E")); System.out.println("Initial collection value: " + list); // swap values of this collection Collections.swap(list, 0, 4); System.out.println("Final collection value: "+list); } }Output
Let us compile and run the above program, this will produce the following result −
Initial collection value: [A, B, C, D, E] Final collection value: [E, B, C, D, A]Swapping elements of List of Object Example
The following example shows the usage of Java Collection swap(List,int, int) method. We've created a List object with some Student objects, printed the original list. Using swap(List, int, int) method, we've swapped elements of the list and then printed the updated list.
package com.tutorialspoint; import java.util.ArrayList; import java.util.Arrays; import java.util.Collections; import java.util.List; public class CollectionsDemo { public static void main(String[] args) { List<Student> list = new ArrayList<>(Arrays.asList(new Student(1, "Julie"), new Student(2, "Robert"), new Student(3, "Adam"))); System.out.println("Initial collection value: " + list); // swap values of this collection Collections.swap(list, 0, 2); System.out.println("Final collection value: "+list); } } class Student { int rollNo; String name; Student(int rollNo, String name){ this.rollNo = rollNo; this.name = name; } @Override public String toString() { return "[ " + this.rollNo + ", " + this.name + " ]"; } }Output
Let us compile and run the above program, this will produce the following result −
Initial collection value: [[ 1, Julie ], [ 2, Robert ], [ 3, Adam ]] Final collection value: [[ 3, Adam ], [ 2, Robert ], [ 1, Julie ]]
