The clone() method of java.util.concurrent.ConcurrentSkipListSet is an in-built function in Java which returns a shallow copy of this ConcurrentSkipListSet instance.
Syntax:
ConcurrentSkipListSet.clone()
Parameters: The function does not accept any parameter.
Return Value: The function returns a shallow copy of ConcurrentSkipListSet.
Below programs illustrate the ConcurrentSkipListSet.clone() method:
Program 1:
// Java Program Demonstrate clone() // method of ConcurrentSkipListSet import java.util.concurrent.*; class ConcurrentSkipListSetCloneExample1 { public static void main(String[] args) { // Initializing the set ConcurrentSkipListSet<Integer> set = new ConcurrentSkipListSet<Integer>(); // Adding elements to this set for ( int i = 10 ; i <= 15 ; i++) set.add(i); // Printing elements of the set System.out.println( "The set contains: " + set); // Cloning the ConcurrentSkipListSet ConcurrentSkipListSet<Integer> clone_set = set.clone(); // Adding elements to the clone set clone_set.add( 16 ); // Printing elements of the clone set System.out.println( "The clone set contains: " + clone_set); } } |
The set contains: [10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15] The clone set contains: [10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16]
Program 2:
// Java Program Demonstrate clone() // method of ConcurrentSkipListSet */ import java.util.concurrent.*; class ConcurrentSkipListSetCloneExample2 { public static void main(String[] args) { // Initializing the set ConcurrentSkipListSet<String> set = new ConcurrentSkipListSet<String>(); // Adding elements to this set set.add( "Gfg" ); set.add( "is" ); set.add( "fun" ); // Printing elements of the set System.out.println( "The set contains: " + set); // Cloning the ConcurrentSkipListSet ConcurrentSkipListSet<String> clone_set = set.clone(); // Adding elements to the clone set clone_set.add( "site" ); // Printing elements of the clone set System.out.println( "The clone set contains: " + clone_set); } } |
The set contains: [Gfg, fun, is] The clone set contains: [Gfg, fun, is, site]
