Java 源码——使用HashSet（哈希集）移除字符串数组中的重复值（HashSet used to remove duplicate values from array of strings）

我们知道，set和list的区别在于前者不允许存在重复值而后者允许重复值。可以利用set的这一属性完成一个常见实用功能——移除重复值。

 

源码：

// Fig. 16.16: SetTest.java
// HashSet used to remove duplicate values from array of strings.
import java.util.List;
import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.HashSet;
import java.util.Set;
import java.util.Collection;

public class SetTest 
{
   public static void main(String[] args)
   {
      // create and display a List<String>
      String[] colors = {"red", "white", "blue", "green", "gray", 
         "orange", "tan", "white", "cyan", "peach", "gray", "orange"};
      List<String> list = Arrays.asList(colors);
      System.out.printf("List: %s%n", list);

      // eliminate duplicates then print the unique values
      printNonDuplicates(list);
   }  

   // create a Set from a Collection to eliminate duplicates
   private static void printNonDuplicates(Collection<String> values)
   {
      // create a HashSet 
      Set<String> set = new HashSet<>(values);   

      System.out.printf("%nNonduplicates are: ");

      for (String value : set)
         System.out.printf("%s ", value);

      System.out.println();
   } 
} // end class SetTest

运行结果：

List: [red, white, blue, green, gray, orange, tan, white, cyan, peach, gray, orange]

Nonduplicates are: tan green peach cyan red orange gray white blue
