How to retain elements from a Collection in another Collection
Let’s say the following is our Collection i.e. ArrayList −
List<Integer>list = new ArrayList<Integer>(); list.add(100); list.add(200); list.add(200); list.add(200); list.add(300); list.add(400); list.add(400); list.add(500);
Now, create another Collection −
List <Integer> list2 = new ArrayList<Integer>(); list2.add(100); list2.add(200); list2.add(300); list2.add(400);
To retain all elements from a Collection in another Collection, try the following with list and list2 as our two Collections −
list.retainAll(list2);
Example
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
public class Demo {
public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception {
List<Integer>list = new ArrayList<Integer>();
list.add(100);
list.add(200);
list.add(200);
list.add(200);
list.add(300);
list.add(400);
list.add(400);
list.add(500);
List <Integer>list2 = new ArrayList<Integer>();
list2.add(100);
list2.add(200);
list2.add(300);
list2.add(400);
list.retainAll(list2);
System.out.println("Resultant list = "+list);
}
}
Output
Resultant list = [100, 200, 200, 200, 300, 400, 400]
