Java Vector removeElement() Method
Description
The Java Vector removeElement(Collection<?> c) is used to removes the first (lowest-indexed) occurrence of the argument from this vector. If the object is found in this vector, each component in the vector with an index greater or equal to the object's index is shifted downward to have an index one smaller than the value it had previously.
Declaration
Following is the declaration for java.util.Vector.removeElement(Object obj) method
public boolean removeElement​(Object obj)
Parameters
obj − This is the component to be removed.
Return Value
The method call returns true if the argument was a component of this vector; false otherwise.
Exception
NA.
Removing a Particular Element of a Vector of Integer Example
The following example shows the usage of Java Vector removeElement(object) method. We're creating a Vector of Integer. We're adding couple of Integer to the Vector object using add() method calls per element. Vector size is printed, array is printed and using removeElement(object) method, an element is removed. Then size and array is printed again.
package com.tutorialspoint; import java.util.Vector; public class VectorDemo { public static void main(String[] args) { // create an empty vector Vector<Integer> vector = new Vector<>(); // use add() method to add elements in the vector vector.add(1); vector.add(2); vector.add(3); vector.add(4); System.out.println("Size of vector: " + vector.size()); // let us print all the elements available in vector again System.out.println("Vector = " + vector); // Removes element 3 vector.removeElement(3); System.out.println("Now, Size of vector: " + vector.size()); // let us print all the elements available in vector again System.out.println("Vector = " + vector); } }
Output
Let us compile and run the above program, this will produce the following result −
Size of vector: 4 Vector = [1, 2, 3, 4] Now, Size of vector: 3 Vector = [1, 2, 4]
Removing a Particular Element of a Vector of String Example
The following example shows the usage of Java Vector removeElement(object) method. We're creating a Vector of String. We're adding couple of Strings to the Vector object using add() method calls per element. Vector size is printed, array is printed and using removeElement(object) method, an element is removed. Then size and array is printed again.
package com.tutorialspoint; import java.util.Vector; public class VectorDemo { public static void main(String[] args) { // create an empty vector Vector<String> vector = new Vector<>(); // use add() method to add elements in the vector vector.add("A"); vector.add("B"); vector.add("C"); vector.add("D"); System.out.println("Size of vector: " + vector.size()); // let us print all the elements available in vector again System.out.println("Vector = " + vector); // Removes element B vector.removeElement("B"); System.out.println("Now, Size of vector: " + vector.size()); // let us print all the elements available in vector again System.out.println("Vector = " + vector); } }
Output
Let us compile and run the above program, this will produce the following result −
Size of vector: 4 Vector = [A, B, C, D] Now, Size of vector: 3 Vector = [A, C, D]
Removing a Particular Element of a Vector of Object Example
The following example shows the usage of Java Vector removeElement(object) method. We're creating a Vector of Student objects. We're adding couple of Student objects to the Vector object using add() method calls per element. Vector size is printed, array is printed and using removeElement(object) method, an element is removed. Then size and array is printed again.
package com.tutorialspoint; import java.util.Vector; public class VectorDemo { public static void main(String[] args) { // create an empty vector Vector<Student> vector = new Vector<>(); // use add() method to add elements in the vector vector.add(new Student(1, "Julie")); vector.add(new Student(2, "Robert")); vector.add(new Student(3, "Adam")); System.out.println("Size of vector: " + vector.size()); // let us print all the elements available in vector again System.out.println("Vector = " + vector); // Removes element Adam vector.removeElement(new Student(3, "Adam")); System.out.println("Now, Size of vector: " + vector.size()); // let us print all the elements available in vector again System.out.println("Vector = " + vector); } } class Student { int rollNo; String name; Student(int rollNo, String name){ this.rollNo = rollNo; this.name = name; } @Override public String toString() { return "[ " + this.rollNo + ", " + this.name + " ]"; } @Override public boolean equals(Object obj) { Student s = (Student)obj; return this.rollNo == s.rollNo && this.name.equalsIgnoreCase(s.name); } }
Output
Let us compile and run the above program, this will produce the following result −
Size of vector: 3 Vector = [[ 1, Julie ], [ 2, Robert ], [ 3, Adam ]] Now, Size of vector: 2 Vector = [[ 1, Julie ], [ 2, Robert ]]
