The addIfAbsent() method of CopyOnWriteArrayList in Java
The addIfAbsent() method appends the element if it is not in the list. If the element is already in the list, then FALSE is returned.
The syntax is as follows.
public boolean addIfAbsent(E ele)
Here, ele is the element to be added to this list, if it is not already in the list.
To work with CopyOnWriteArrayList class, you need to import the following package.
import java.util.concurrent.CopyOnWriteArrayList;
The following is an example to implement CopyOnWriteArrayList class addIfAbsent() method in Java.
Example
import java.util.concurrent.CopyOnWriteArrayList;
public class Demo {
public static void main(String[] args) {
CopyOnWriteArrayList<Integer> arrList = new CopyOnWriteArrayList<Integer>();
arrList.add(30); arrList.add(40); arrList.add(60); arrList.add(70); arrList.add(90); arrList.add(100); arrList.add(120);
System.out.println("CopyOnWriteArrayList = " + arrList);
System.out.println("Add an element if not in the List = "+arrList.addIfAbsent(70));
}
}Output
CopyOnWriteArrayList = [30, 40, 60, 70, 90, 100, 120] Add an element if not in the List = false
Let us see another example wherein the element to be appended is not already present in the list
Example
import java.util.concurrent.CopyOnWriteArrayList;
public class Demo {
public static void main(String[] args) {
CopyOnWriteArrayList<Integer> arrList = new CopyOnWriteArrayList<Integer>();
arrList.add(30);
arrList.add(40);
arrList.add(60);
arrList.add(70);
arrList.add(90);
arrList.add(100);
arrList.add(120);
System.out.println("CopyOnWriteArrayList = " + arrList);
System.out.println("Add an element if not in the List = "+arrList.addIfAbsent(150));
System.out.println("Updated CopyOnWriteArrayList = " + arrList);
}
}Output
CopyOnWriteArrayList = [30, 40, 60, 70, 90, 100, 120] Add an element if not in the List = true Updated CopyOnWriteArrayList = [30, 40, 60, 70, 90, 100, 120, 150]
