Use removeAll() method to get the asymmetric difference of two sets.First set −HashSet set1 = new HashSet (); set1.add("Mat"); set1.add("Sat"); set1.add("Cat");Second set −HashSet set2 = new HashSet (); set2.add("Mat");To get the asymmetric difference −set1.removeAll(set2);The following is an example that displays how to get the asymmetric difference between two sets −Exampleimport java.util.*; public class Demo {    public static void main(String args[]) {       HashSet set1 = new HashSet ();       HashSet set2 = new HashSet ();       set1.add("Mat");       set1.add("Sat");       set1.add("Cat");       System.out.println("Set1 ...

To add leading zeros to a number, you need to format the output. Let’s say we need to add 4 leading zeros to the following number with 3 digits.int val = 290;For adding 4 leading zeros above, we will use %07d i.e. 4+3 = 7. Here, 3, as shown above, is the number with 3 digits.String.format("%07d", val);The following is the final example.Exampleimport java.util.Formatter; public class Demo {     public static void main(String args[]) {        int val = 290;        System.out.println("Integer: "+val);        String formattedStr = String.format("%07d", val);        System.out.println("With leading zeros = " + formattedStr);     } }OutputInteger: 290 With leading zeros = 0000290

The h format in Java Date is like 1-12 hour in AM/ PM. Use SimpleDateFormat("h") to get the same format;// displaying hour in h format SimpleDateFormat simpleformat = new SimpleDateFormat("h"); String strHour = simpleformat.format(new Date()); System.out.println("Hour in h format = "+strHour);Above, we have used the SimpleDateFormat class, therefore the following package is imported −import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;The following is an example −Exampleimport java.text.Format; import java.text.SimpleDateFormat; import java.util.Date; import java.util.Calendar; public class Demo { public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception { // displaying current date and time ...

We can compare two strings lexicographically using following ways in Java.Using String.compareTo(String) method. It compares in case sensitive manner.Using String.compareToIgnoreCase(String) method. It compares in case insensitive manner.Using String.compareTo(Object) method. It compares in case sensitive manner.These methods returns the ascii difference of first odd characters of compared strings.Examplepublic class Tester {    public static void main(String args[]) {       String str = "Hello World";       String anotherString = "hello world";       Object objStr = str;       System.out.println( str.compareTo(anotherString) );       System.out.println( str.compareToIgnoreCase(anotherString) );       System.out.println( str.compareTo(objStr.toString()));    } }Output-32 0 0

To get the intersection of two sets, use the retainAll() method. Here are out two set −First set −HashSet set1 = new HashSet (); set1.add("Mat"); set1.add("Sat"); set1.add("Cat");Second set −HashSet set2 = new HashSet (); set2.add("Mat"); set2.add("Cat"); set2.add("Fat"); set2.add("Hat");Get the intersection −set1.retainAll(set2);The following is an example to get the intersection of two sets −Exampleimport java.util.*; public class Demo {    public static void main(String args[]) {       HashSet set1 = new HashSet ();       HashSet set2 = new HashSet ();       set1.add("Mat");       set1.add("Sat");       set1.add("Cat");   ...

The binary representations of two numbers are anagrams if they have the same number of 0’a and 1’s. An example of this is given as follows −Number 1 = 3 Binary representation of Number 1 = 0011 Number 2 = 12 Binary representation of Number 2 = 1100The two numbers are anagram.A program that demonstrates this is given as follows −Examplepublic class Example { public static void main (String[] args) { long x = 12, y = 3; if(Long.bitCount(x) == Long.bitCount(y)) ...

An ArrayList can be converted into an Array using the java.util.ArrayList.toArray() method. This method takes a single parameter i.e. the array of the required type into which the ArrayList elements are stored and it returns an Array that contains all the elements of the ArrayList in the correct order.A program that demonstrates this is given as follows −Exampleimport java.util.ArrayList; import java.util.List; public class Demo {    public static void main(String[] args) {       List aList = new ArrayList();       aList.add("James");       aList.add("Harry");       aList.add("Susan");       aList.add("Emma");       aList.add("Peter"); ...

In order to find the count of matching characters in two Java strings the approach is to first create character arrays of both the strings which make comparison simple.After this put each unique character into a Hash map.Compare each character of other string with created hash map whether it is present or not in case if present than put that character into other hash map this is to prevent duplicates.In last get the size of this new created target hash map which is equal to the count of number of matching characters in two given strings.Exampleimport java.util.HashMap; public class MatchingCharacters ...

The Boolean literals have two values i.e. True and False.The following is an example to display Boolean Literals.Examplepublic class Demo {    public static void main(String[] args) {       System.out.println("Boolean Literals");       boolean one = true;       System.out.println(one);       one = false;       System.out.println(one);    } }OutputBoolean Literals true falseIn the above program, we have declared a boolean value and assigned the boolean literal “true”.boolean one = true;In the same way, we have added another boolean literal “false”.one = false;Both of the above values are displayed, which are the boolean literals.
