Set() Method in Java

• The set() method in Java is commonly used with collections


like ArrayList, HashSet, etc. It is used to change or update a
value at a specific position in a list.
Syntax:
[Link](index, newValue);

• index: position (starting from 0)


• newValue: the value to set at that index
import [Link];

public class SetExample {


public static void main(String[] args) {
ArrayList<String> fruits = new ArrayList<>();

// Adding elements
[Link]("Apple");
[Link]("Banana");
[Link]("Mango");

// Before change
[Link]("Before set: " + fruits);

// Changing "Banana" to "Orange"


[Link](1, "Orange");
// After change
[Link]("After set: " + fruits);
}
}
Output:
Before set: [Apple, Banana, Mango]
After set: [Apple, Orange, Mango]
get() Method in Java
• The get() method in Java is used to access (or read) an
element from a collection, especially from List-based
structures like ArrayList or LinkedList.

• Syntax
[Link](index);
import [Link];

public class GetExample {


public static void main(String[] args) {
ArrayList<String> colors = new ArrayList<>();

// Adding elements
[Link]("Red");
[Link]("Green");
[Link]("Blue");

// Getting element at index 1


String color = [Link](1);

[Link]("Element at index 1: " + color);


}
}
Output:Element at index 1: Green
Java API Packages
• API - Application Programming Interface (Java's pre-built code
library)
• Java API packages are groups of related classes and interfaces
bundled together to provide specific functionality. They help
you organize code and reuse functionality without writing
everything from scratch.

• import [Link]; // Import ArrayList from [Link]


package

• import [Link]; // Import Scanner for user input
