Use Iterator to remove an element from a Collection in Java
An element can be removed from a Collection using the Iterator method remove(). This method removes the current element in the Collection. If the remove() method is not preceded by the next() method, then the exception IllegalStateException is thrown.
A program that demonstrates this is given as follows.
Example
import java.util.ArrayList; import java.util.Iterator; public class Demo { public static void main(String[] args) { ArrayList<String> aList = new ArrayList<String>(); aList.add("Apple"); aList.add("Mango"); aList.add("Guava"); aList.add("Orange"); aList.add("Peach"); System.out.println("The ArrayList elements are: "); for (String s: aList) { System.out.println(s); } Iterator i = aList.iterator(); String str = ""; while (i.hasNext()) { str = (String) i.next(); if (str.equals("Orange")) { i.remove(); System.out.println("
The element Orange is removed"); break; } } System.out.println("
The ArrayList elements are: "); for (String s: aList) { System.out.println(s); } } }
Output
The output of the above program is as follows
The ArrayList elements are: Apple Mango Guava Orange Peach The element Orange is removed The ArrayList elements are: Apple Mango Guava Peach
