1. Introduction
Joining elements of a Set in Java is a common task. Since Set is a part of the Java Collections Framework, we can utilize the String.join() method, similar to List, to concatenate the elements of a Set with a specified delimiter.
2. Program Steps
1. Create a Set of String.
2. Use the String.join() method to join the elements of the set with a delimiter.
3. Print the resulting String to the console.
3. Code Program
import java.util.Set;
import java.util.HashSet;
public class SetJoinExample {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// Step 1: Create a Set of String
Set<String> fruits = new HashSet<>(Set.of("Apple", "Banana", "Cherry", "Date"));
// Step 2: Use the String.join() method to join the elements of the set with a delimiter
String result = String.join(", ", fruits);
// Step 3: Print the resulting String to the console
System.out.println(result);
}
}
Output:
Apple, Banana, Cherry, Date
4. Step By Step Explanation
Step 1: We initialize a Set of String containing various fruit names. The order of elements in a Set is not guaranteed, but for simplicity, we will assume they are printed in the order they were added.
Step 2: We use the String.join() method to concatenate the elements of the Set, inserting a comma and a space between each element.
Step 3: Finally, we print out the resulting String to the console, showing the elements of the Set joined by the specified delimiter.
