 Set in java collection framework is a collection of unique
elements, where duplicate elements are not allowed.
 The set interface contains only methods inherited from
collection and adds the restriction that duplicate elements
are prohibited.
 Set interface is the child interface of collection.
 Set interface is found in java.util package.

Object Creation of Set Interface:

Set<Obj> set = new HashSet<Obj>( );

Where: - Set  Interface


<Obj>  Generic (inside angular bracket)
set  Reference variable / object
new  Keyword
HashSet  Implemented Class
()  Parentheses

Note – Obj is the type of the object to be stored in Set.

their positions.

Multiple null elements can be Only one null element can be
