A set is a collection which does not allows duplicate values. HashSet is an implementation of a Set. Following are the ways in which we can initialize a HashSet in Java.Using constructor − Pass a collection to Constructor to initialize an HashSet.Using addAll() − Pass a collection to Collections.addAll() to initialize an HashSet.Using unmodifiableSet() − Pass a collection to Collections.unmodifiableSet() to get a unmodifiable Set.Using add() − Using add(element) method of Set.Following is an example of using above ways.ExampleInfinityNow consider the following code snippet.Exampleimport java.util.Arrays; import java.util.Collections; import java.util.HashSet; import java.util.List; import java.util.Set; public class Tester{    public static ...

A qualified class name in Java contains the package that the class originated from. In contrast to this, the unqualified class name contains only the class name without any package information. A program that gets the unqualified name of a class is given as follows:Examplepublic class Demo {    public static void main(String[] argv) throws Exception {       Class c = java.util.ArrayList.class;       String className = c.getName();       System.out.println("The qualified class name is: " + className);       if (className.lastIndexOf('.') < 0) {          className = className.substring(className.lastIndexOf('.') + 1);     ...

A fully-qualified class name in Java contains the package that the class originated from. An example of this is java.util.ArrayList. The fully-qualified class name can be obtained using the getName() method.A program that demonstrates this is given as follows −Examplepublic class Demo {    public static void main(String[] argv) throws Exception {       Class c = java.util.ArrayList.class;       String className = c.getName();       System.out.println("The fully-qualified name of the class is: " + className);    } }OutputThe fully-qualified name of the class is: java.util.ArrayListNow let us understand the above program.The getName() method is used to ...

isInstance method is equivalent to instanceof operator. The method is used in case of objects are created at runtime using reflection. General practice says if type is to be checked at runtime then use isInstance method otherwise instanceof operator can be used. See the example below −Examplepublic class Tester{    public static void main(String[] args) throws ClassNotFoundException {       Integer i = new Integer(10);       System.out.println(usingInstanceOf(i));       System.out.println(usingIsInstance(i));    }    public static String usingInstanceOf(Object i){       if(i instanceof String){          return "String";       }   ...

Import the following package for Calendar class in Java.import java.util.Calendar;Firstly, create a Calendar object and display the current date and time.Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance(); System.out.println("Current Date and Time = " + calendar.getTime());Now, let us decrement the minutes using the calendar.add() method and Calendar.MINUTE constant. Set a negative value since you want to decrease the minutes.calendar.add(Calendar.MINUTE, -15);Exampleimport java.util.Calendar; public class Demo {    public static void main(String[] args) {       Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();       System.out.println("Current Date = " + calendar.getTime());       // Subtract 15 minutes from current date       calendar.add(Calendar.MINUTE, -15);   ...

The array type can be checked using the java.lang.Class.getComponentType() method. This method returns the class that represents the component type of the array. The array length can be obtained in int form using the method java.lang.reflect.Array.getLength().A program that demonstrates this is given as follows −Exampleimport java.lang.reflect.Array; public class Demo {    public static void main (String args[]) {       int[] arr = {6, 1, 9, 3, 7};       Class c = arr.getClass();       if (c.isArray()) {          Class arrayType = c.getComponentType();          System.out.println("The array is of type: " ...

Collections can be iterated easily using two approaches.Using for-Each loop − Use a foreach loop and access the array using object.Using Iterator − Use a foreach loop and access the array using object.DifferencesConcurrentModificationException − Using for-Each loop, if an object is modified, then ConcurrentModificationException can occur. Using iterator, this problem is elliminated.Size Check − Using for-Each, size check is not required. Using iterator if hasNext() is not used properly, NoSuchElementException can occur.Performance − Performance is similar for both cases.Following is an example of using above ways.Exampleimport java.util.ArrayList; import java.util.Iterator; import java.util.List; public class Tester {    public static ...

To set a duration, let us declare two objects of Calendar classCalendar c1 = Calendar.getInstance(); Calendar c2 = Calendar.getInstance();Set a time for one of the calendar objectsc2.add(Calendar.HOUR, 9); c2.add(Calendar.MINUTE, 15); c2.add(Calendar.SECOND, 40);Now, find the difference between both the time. One would be the current time and another we declared above −long calcSeconds = (c2.getTimeInMillis() - c1.getTimeInMillis()) / 1000;The following is an example −Exampleimport java.util.Calendar; public class Demo { public static void main(String args[]) {     Calendar c1 = Calendar.getInstance();     Calendar c2 = Calendar.getInstance();     // set hour, minute and second     c2.add(Calendar.HOUR, 9);     ...
