Java
// Java Program to illustrate clone() Method// of LinkedHashSet Class // Importing required classesimport java.io.*;import java.util.LinkedHashSet; // Main classpublic 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); }} |
Output:
