In this shot, we will learn how to use the HashSet.size()
method in Java.
Hashset.size()
?The Hashset.size()
method is present in the HashSet
class inside the java.util
package.
It is used to obtain the number of elements in the HashSet
or the size of the HashSet
.
Let’s understand with the help of an example. Suppose that a HashSet
contains the elements [1, 8, 5, 3, 0]
.
The number of elements in the HashSet
is five. So, the result of the HashSet.size()
method is 5
.
The HashSet.size()
method does not accept any parameters.
The HashSet.size()
returns the number of elements present or the size of the HashSet
.
Let’s have a look at the code.
import java.io.*;import java.util.HashSet;class Main{public static void main(String args[]){HashSet<Integer> hash_set = new HashSet<Integer>();hash_set.add(1);hash_set.add(8);hash_set.add(5);hash_set.add(3);hash_set.add(0);System.out.println("The size of HashSet is: " +hash_set.size());}}
In lines 1 and 2, we imported the required packages and classes.
In line 4, we created a Main
class.
In line 6, we created a main()
function.
In line 8, we declared a HashSet
of integer type.
From lines 10 to 14, we added the elements into the HashSet
by using the HashSet.add()
method.
In line 17, we displayed the size of the HashSet
using HashSet.size()
function with a message.
This is how the HashSet.size()
function is used to get the number of elements present in a HashSet
.
