S… Speaker 2 (11- The Set Interface)

Now let's talk about the set interface.

0:05

S… Speaker 2 (11- The Set Interface)

This interface represents a collection that contains no duplicates.

0:09

S… Speaker 2 (11- The Set Interface)

So it's a great way for storing a list of unique values.

0:13

S… Speaker 1 (11- The Set Interface)

Let me show you.

0:13

S… Speaker 2 (11- The Set Interface)

So here I'm going to declare a variable of type set of string.

0:17

S… Speaker 2 (11- The Set Interface)

Let's import this.

0:19

S… Speaker 2 (11- The Set Interface)

And we set this to a new hash set.

0:22

S… Speaker 2 (11- The Set Interface)

This is one of the implementations of the set interface that you use 90 %

0:27

S… Speaker 1 (11- The Set Interface)

of the time.

0:27

S… Speaker 2 (11- The Set Interface)

Now we can add a few items to this set.

0:30

S… Speaker 2 (11- The Set Interface)

So set .add,

0:31

S… Speaker 1 (11- The Set Interface)

I'm going to add sky.

0:34

S… Speaker 2 (11- The Set Interface)

then is blue.

0:37

S… Speaker 2 (11- The Set Interface)

Now I want to duplicate this line so we have two blues.

0:40

S… Speaker 2 (11- The Set Interface)

Let's see what happens when we print the set.

0:43

S… Speaker 1 (11- The Set Interface)

The duplicate

0:47

S… Speaker 1 (11- The Set Interface)

is gone.

0:47

S… Speaker 2 (11- The Set Interface)

But look at the order of items.

0:49

S… Speaker 2 (11- The Set Interface)

We have sky blue is.

0:52

S… Speaker 2 (11- The Set Interface)

So the set interface does not guarantee the order of items.

0:55

S… Speaker 2 (11- The Set Interface)

That is one of the important characteristics of the set interface you need to understand.

0:59

S… Speaker 1 (11- The Set Interface)

Do not rely on the order.

1:00

S… Speaker 2 (11- The Set Interface)

A set only guarantees the uniqueness.

1:03

S… Speaker 1 (11- The Set Interface)

Okay?

1:04

S… Speaker 2 (11- The Set Interface)

Now, let's say we have a collection of items and we want to remove the duplicates.

1:08

S… Speaker 2 (11- The Set Interface)

Using a set,

1:09

S… Speaker 2 (11- The Set Interface)

we can do it in one line.

1:10

S… Speaker 1 (11- The Set Interface)

Let me show you.

1:11

S… Speaker 2 (11- The Set Interface)

So I'm going to delete all this code.

1:12

S… Speaker 1 (11- The Set Interface)

Let's create a collection

1:17

S… Speaker 2 (11- The Set Interface)

of string,

1:18

S… Speaker 1 (11- The Set Interface)

call it collection,

1:19

S… Speaker 2 (11- The Set Interface)

and set it to a new array list.

1:22

S… Speaker 1 (11- The Set Interface)

Now in this collection,

1:24

S… Speaker 2 (11- The Set Interface)

we want to add a few items.

1:25

S… Speaker 2 (11- The Set Interface)

So I'm going to use the collections class and call

1:29

S… Speaker 2 (11- The Set Interface)

the addAll method.

1:30

S… Speaker 2 (11- The Set Interface)

Here we pass our collection along with a

1:34

S… Speaker 2 (11- The Set Interface)

few strings.

1:35

S… Speaker 1 (11- The Set Interface)

A, B,

1:37

S… Speaker 1 (11- The Set Interface)

C and C.

1:38

S… Speaker 1 (11- The Set Interface)

So we have duplicates.

1:39

S… Speaker 2 (11- The Set Interface)

Now we can remove the duplicates by only one line of code.

1:43

S… Speaker 2 (11- The Set Interface)

So all we have to do is to put this collection in a set.

1:46

S… Speaker 2 (11- The Set Interface)

So we declare a set of string and

1:50

S… Speaker 2 (11- The Set Interface)

set it to a new high set.

1:53

S… Speaker 2 (11- The Set Interface)

Now look at the parameters of the constructor of the high set class.

1:57

S… Speaker 2 (11- The Set Interface)

So this constructor is overloaded three times.

1:59

S… Speaker 2 (11- The Set Interface)

Look at this overload.

2:01

S… Speaker 2 (11- The Set Interface)

here we can pass a collection of unknown extends string.

2:06

S… Speaker 2 (11- The Set Interface)

So once again,

2:07

S… Speaker 2 (11- The Set Interface)

we have a wild card here and that means we can pass a collection of string or

2:11

S… Speaker 2 (11- The Set Interface)

any type that extends the collection interface.

2:14

S… Speaker 1 (11- The Set Interface)

For example,

2:14

S… Speaker 2 (11- The Set Interface)

we can pass a list of string or a queue of string or another

2:19

S… Speaker 1 (11- The Set Interface)

set.

2:19

S… Speaker 2 (11- The Set Interface)

So I'm going to pass our collection over here and

2:23

S… Speaker 2 (11- The Set Interface)

now if we print the set,

2:26

S… Speaker 2 (11- The Set Interface)

you can see that the duplicates

2:30

S… Speaker 1 (11- The Set Interface)

are gone.

2:31

S… Speaker 2 (11- The Set Interface)

So that's a very cool technique.

2:32

S… Speaker 2 (11- The Set Interface)

All we have to do is to put a list or a collection inside a set and

2:37

S… Speaker 2 (11- The Set Interface)

the duplicates are gone.

2:38

S… Speaker 1 (11- The Set Interface)

Now,

2:39

S… Speaker 2 (11- The Set Interface)

let's talk about the set operations.

2:41

S… Speaker 2 (11- The Set Interface)

So I want to create a new set,

2:44

S… Speaker 2 (11- The Set Interface)

set of string,

2:46

S… Speaker 2 (11- The Set Interface)

let's call it set one.

2:47

S… Speaker 2 (11- The Set Interface)

Here we set this to a new high set.

2:50

S… Speaker 1 (11- The Set Interface)

Now,

2:52

S… Speaker 2 (11- The Set Interface)

this time instead of a collection,

2:54

S… Speaker 2 (11- The Set Interface)

I want to pass a list of string.

2:55

S… Speaker 2 (11- The Set Interface)

But we don't have a list yet.

2:57

S… Speaker 2 (11- The Set Interface)

One way is to create a list over here.

3:01

S… Speaker 2 (11- The Set Interface)

But I'm going to show you a better way,

3:02

S… Speaker 2 (11- The Set Interface)

a faster way.

3:03

S… Speaker 2 (11- The Set Interface)

We have this class called arrays.

3:05

S… Speaker 2 (11- The Set Interface)

This is also declared in the java .util package.

3:10

S… Speaker 2 (11- The Set Interface)

This class has a static method as list.

3:13

S… Speaker 2 (11- The Set Interface)

Now look at the parameter of this method.

3:16

S… Speaker 2 (11- The Set Interface)

We have string dot dot dot.

3:18

S… Speaker 2 (11- The Set Interface)

As I told you before,

3:19

S… Speaker 2 (11- The Set Interface)

this is called var args,

3:21

S… Speaker 2 (11- The Set Interface)

which represents a variable number of arguments.

3:23

S… Speaker 2 (11- The Set Interface)

So here we can pass zero or more arguments.

3:26

S… Speaker 2 (11- The Set Interface)

I'm going to pass three items,

3:29

S… Speaker 1 (11- The Set Interface)

a, b,

3:29

S… Speaker 2 (11- The Set Interface)

and c.

3:31

S… Speaker 2 (11- The Set Interface)

So this method will return a list of strings initialized with

3:35

S… Speaker 2 (11- The Set Interface)

these three items.

3:36

S… Speaker 2 (11- The Set Interface)

Okay, let me put this on a new line so we

3:40

S… Speaker 2 (11- The Set Interface)

can see clearly, that is better.

3:41

S… Speaker 2 (11- The Set Interface)

Now I'm going to create another set but with different

3:46

S… Speaker 1 (11- The Set Interface)

items.

3:46

S… Speaker 1 (11- The Set Interface)

So B,

3:48

S… Speaker 1 (11- The Set Interface)

3:49

S… Speaker 1 (11- The Set Interface)

and D.

3:51

S… Speaker 2 (11- The Set Interface)

And we're going to call this set 2.

3:54

S… Speaker 2 (11- The Set Interface)

Now when it comes to sets,

3:56

S… Speaker 2 (11- The Set Interface)

there are four operations that you need to understand.

3:58

S… Speaker 2 (11- The Set Interface)

One of them is the union operation,

4:01

S… Speaker 2 (11- The Set Interface)

which is the combination of two sets.

4:04

S… Speaker 2 (11- The Set Interface)

So if I want to combine these two sets,

4:06

S… Speaker 2 (11- The Set Interface)

I can write set one dot add all.

4:09

S… Speaker 2 (11- The Set Interface)

Now look at this parameter.

4:11

S… Speaker 2 (11- The Set Interface)

It's a collection of string.

4:13

S… Speaker 2 (11- The Set Interface)

Here we have a wildcard,

4:15

S… Speaker 2 (11- The Set Interface)

so we can pass a list of string,

4:16

S… Speaker 2 (11- The Set Interface)

a set of string,

4:17

S… Speaker 2 (11- The Set Interface)

or a queue of string.

4:18

S… Speaker 2 (11- The Set Interface)

So we can add set two,

4:21

S… Speaker 2 (11- The Set Interface)

and now if we print set one,

4:27

S… Speaker 2 (11- The Set Interface)

You can see that it has all the items in both sets without any

4:31

S… Speaker 1 (11- The Set Interface)

duplicates.

4:31

S… Speaker 2 (11- The Set Interface)

So this is the union operation.

4:33

S… Speaker 2 (11- The Set Interface)

Another useful operation

4:38

S… Speaker 2 (11- The Set Interface)

is intersection.

4:39

S… Speaker 2 (11- The Set Interface)

And that will give us the items that are common in both sets.

4:44

S… Speaker 2 (11- The Set Interface)

To get the intersection,

4:45

S… Speaker 2 (11- The Set Interface)

we call the retain all method.

4:48

S… Speaker 2 (11- The Set Interface)

So this method will retain or keep all the items in set two and

4:52

S… Speaker 2 (11- The Set Interface)

remove everything else from set one.

4:54

S… Speaker 1 (11- The Set Interface)

Take a look.

4:58

S… Speaker 2 (11- The Set Interface)

So the intersection of these two sets is B and C.

5:01

S… Speaker 2 (11- The Set Interface)

Another useful operation is difference.

5:06

S… Speaker 2 (11- The Set Interface)

You want to know what items we have

5:10

S… Speaker 2 (11- The Set Interface)

in the first set that we do not have in the second set.

5:13

S… Speaker 2 (11- The Set Interface)

To do that we call the remove all method.

5:16

S… Speaker 2 (11- The Set Interface)

So we are removing everything that we have in set two and keeping the rest.

5:20

S… Speaker 1 (11- The Set Interface)

Take a look.

5:20

S… Speaker 1 (11- The Set Interface)

So the result

5:25

S… Speaker 2 (11- The Set Interface)

is A.

5:25

S… Speaker 2 (11- The Set Interface)

So this is how we can use sets.

5:28

S… Speaker 2 (11- The Set Interface)

In the next video we're going to talk about maps.
