The toArray() method of Java AbstractSet is used to form an array of the same elements as that of the AbstractSet. Basically, it copies all the element from a AbstractSet to a new array.
Syntax:
Object[] arr = AbstractSet.toArray()
Parameters: The method does not take any parameters.
Return Value: The method returns an array containing the elements similar to the AbstractSet.
Below programs illustrate the AbstractSet.toArray() method:
Program 1:
// Java code to illustrate toArray() import java.util.*; public class AbstractSetDemo { public static void main(String args[]) { // Creating an empty AbstractSet AbstractSet<String> abs_col = new TreeSet<String>(); // Use add() method to add // elements into the AbstractSet abs_col.add( "Welcome" ); abs_col.add( "To" ); abs_col.add( "Geeks" ); abs_col.add( "For" ); abs_col.add( "Geeks" ); // Displaying the AbstractSet System.out.println( "The AbstractSet: " + abs_col); // Creating the array and using toArray() Object[] arr = abs_col.toArray(); System.out.println( "The array is:" ); for ( int j = 0 ; j < arr.length; j++) System.out.println(arr[j]); } } |
The AbstractSet: [For, Geeks, To, Welcome] The array is: For Geeks To Welcome
Program 2:
// Java code to illustrate toArray() import java.util.*; public class AbstractSetDemo { public static void main(String args[]) { // Creating an empty AbstractSet AbstractSet<Integer> abs_col = new TreeSet<Integer>(); // Use add() method to add // elements into the AbstractSet abs_col.add( 10 ); abs_col.add( 15 ); abs_col.add( 30 ); abs_col.add( 20 ); abs_col.add( 5 ); abs_col.add( 25 ); // Displaying the AbstractSet System.out.println( "The AbstractSet: " + abs_col); // Creating the array and using toArray() Object[] arr = abs_col.toArray(); System.out.println( "The array is:" ); for ( int j = 0 ; j < arr.length; j++) System.out.println(arr[j]); } } |
The AbstractSet: [5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30] The array is: 5 10 15 20 25 30
