The remove(int index) method of java.util.AbstractList class is used to remove an element from an abstract list from a specific position or index.
Syntax:
AbstractList.remove(int index)
Parameters: The parameter index is of integer data type and specifies the position of the element to be removed from the AbstractList.
Return Value: This method returns the element that has just been removed from the list.
Below programs illustrate the AbstractList.remove(int index) method:
Program 1:
// Java code to illustrate remove() method   import java.util.*; import java.util.LinkedList;   public class AbstractListDemo {     public static void main(String args[])     {           // Creating an empty AbstractList         AbstractList<String>             list = new LinkedList<String>();           // Using add() method to add elements in the list         list.add( "Geeks" );         list.add( "for" );         list.add( "Geeks" );         list.add( "10" );         list.add( "20" );           // Output the list         System.out.println( "AbstractList: " + list);           // Remove the head using remove()         list.remove( 3 );           // Print the final list         System.out.println( "Final AbstractList: " + list);     } } |
AbstractList: [Geeks, for, Geeks, 10, 20] Final AbstractList: [Geeks, for, Geeks, 20]
Program 2:
// Java code to illustrate remove() when position of // element is passed as parameter   import java.util.*; import java.util.LinkedList;   public class AbstractListDemo {     public static void main(String args[])     {           // Creating an empty AbstractList         AbstractList<String> list = new LinkedList<String>();           // Use add() method to add elements in the list         list.add( "Geeks" );         list.add( "for" );         list.add( "Geeks" );         list.add( "10" );         list.add( "20" );           // Output the list         System.out.println( "AbstractList:" + list);           // Remove the head using remove()         list.remove( 0 );           // Print the final list         System.out.println( "Final AbstractList:" + list);     } } |
AbstractList:[Geeks, for, Geeks, 10, 20] Final AbstractList:[for, Geeks, 10, 20]
