How can we convert list to Set in Java?
A list can be converted to a set object using Set constructor. The resultant set will eliminate any duplicate entry present in the list and will contains only the unique values.
Set<String> set = new HashSet<>(list);
Or we can use set.addAll() method to add all the elements of the list to the set.
set.addAll(list);
Using streams as well, we can get a set from a list.
set = list.stream().collect(Collectors.toSet());
Example
Following is the example showing the list to set conversion via multiple ways −
package com.tutorialspoint; import java.util.ArrayList; import java.util.Arrays; import java.util.HashSet; import java.util.List; import java.util.Set; import java.util.stream.Collectors; public class CollectionsDemo { public static void main(String[] args) { List<String> list = new ArrayList<>(Arrays.asList("A", "B", "C", "D", "D")); System.out.println("List: " + list); Set<String> set = new HashSet<>(list); System.out.println("Set: " + set); set = new HashSet<>(); set.addAll(list); System.out.println("Set: " + set); set = new HashSet<>(); set = list.stream().collect(Collectors.toSet()); System.out.println("Set: " + set); } }
Output
This will produce the following result −
List: [A, B, C, D, D] Set: [A, B, C, D] Set: [A, B, C, D] Set: [A, B, C, D]
