Parameters: The method does not take any parameters.
Return Type: The method just returns a copy of the LinkedHashSet.
Example:
Java
// Java Program to illustrate clone() Method // of LinkedHashSet Class // Importing required classes import java.io.*; import java.util.LinkedHashSet; // Main class public class GFG { // Main driver method public static void main(String args[]) { // Creating an empty LinkedHashSet LinkedHashSet<String> set = new LinkedHashSet<String>(); // Adding elements into the Set // using add() method set.add( "Welcome" ); set.add( "To" ); set.add( "Geeks" ); set.add( "4" ); set.add( "Geeks" ); // Displaying the LinkedHashSet System.out.println( "LinkedHashSet: " + set); // Creating a new cloned Set LinkedHashSet cloned_set = new LinkedHashSet(); // Cloning the above Set // using clone() method cloned_set = (LinkedHashSet)set.clone(); // Displaying the new Set after Cloning System.out.println( "The new set: " + cloned_set); } } |
LinkedHashSet: [Welcome, To, Geeks, 4] The new set: [Welcome, To, Geeks, 4]
