Check for an element in a HashSet in Java
To check whether an element is in a HashSet or not in Java, use the contains() method.
Create a HashSet −
HashSet hs = new HashSet();
Add elements to it −
hs.add("R"); hs.add("S"); hs.add("T"); hs.add("V"); hs.add("W"); hs.add("Y"); hs.add("Z");
To check for an element, for example, S here, use the contains() −
hs.contains("S")
The following is an example to check for an element in a HashSet −
Example
import java.util.*; public class Demo { public static void main(String args[]) { HashSet hs = new HashSet(); // add elements to the HashSet hs.add("R"); hs.add("S"); hs.add("T"); hs.add("V"); hs.add("W"); hs.add("Y"); hs.add("Z"); System.out.println("Set = "+hs); System.out.println("Is character S part of the set? "+hs.contains("S")); System.out.println("Is character B part of the set? "+hs.contains("B")); } }
Output
Set = [R, S, T, V, W, Y, Z] Is character S part of the set? true Is character B part of the set? false
