Hashset

This class implements the Set interface, backed by a hash table (actually a HashMap instance). It makes no guarantees as to the iteration order of the set; in particular, it does not guarantee that the order will remain constant over time. This class permits the null element. This class is not synchronized. However it can be synchronized explicitly like this:
Set s = Collections.synchronizedSet(new HashSet(...));


Example:




import java.util.HashSet;
public class HashSetExample {
   public static void main(String args[]) {
      // HashSet declaration
      HashSet<String> hset = 
               new HashSet<String>();

      // Adding elements to the HashSet
      hset.add("Apple");
      hset.add("Mango");
      hset.add("Grapes");
      hset.add("Orange");
      hset.add("Fig");
      //Addition of duplicate elements
      hset.add("Apple");
      hset.add("Mango");
      //Addition of null values
      hset.add(null);
      hset.add(null);

      //Displaying HashSet elements
      System.out.println(hset);
    }
}

Output:

[null, Mango, Grapes, Apple, Orange, Fig]
