In questo tutorial, impareremo a conoscere la classe Java TreeSet e le sue varie operazioni e metodi con l'aiuto di esempi.
La TreeSetclasse del framework delle collezioni Java fornisce la funzionalità di una struttura dati ad albero.
Estende l'interfaccia NavigableSet.
Creazione di un TreeSet
Per creare un insieme di alberi, dobbiamo java.util.TreeSetprima importare il pacchetto.
Una volta importato il pacchetto, ecco come possiamo creare un file TreeSetin Java.
TreeSet numbers = new TreeSet();
Qui abbiamo creato un TreeSetsenza argomenti. In questo caso, gli elementi in TreeSetvengono ordinati in modo naturale (ordine crescente).
Tuttavia, possiamo personalizzare l'ordinamento degli elementi utilizzando l' Comparatorinterfaccia. Lo impareremo più avanti in questo tutorial.
Metodi di TreeSet
La TreeSetclasse fornisce vari metodi che ci consentono di eseguire varie operazioni sul set.
Inserisci elementi in TreeSet
add()- inserisce l'elemento specificato nel setaddAll()- inserisce nel set tutti gli elementi della collezione specificata
Per esempio,
import java.util.TreeSet; class Main ( public static void main(String() args) ( TreeSet evenNumbers = new TreeSet(); // Using the add() method evenNumbers.add(2); evenNumbers.add(4); evenNumbers.add(6); System.out.println("TreeSet: " + evenNumbers); TreeSet numbers = new TreeSet(); numbers.add(1); // Using the addAll() method numbers.addAll(evenNumbers); System.out.println("New TreeSet: " + numbers); ) )
Produzione
TreeSet: (2, 4, 6) Nuovo TreeSet: (1, 2, 4, 6)
Accesso agli elementi TreeSet
Per accedere agli elementi di un insieme di alberi, possiamo utilizzare il iterator()metodo. Per utilizzare questo metodo, dobbiamo importare java.util.Iteratorpackage. Per esempio,
import java.util.TreeSet; import java.util.Iterator; class Main ( public static void main(String() args) ( TreeSet numbers = new TreeSet(); numbers.add(2); numbers.add(5); numbers.add(6); System.out.println("TreeSet: " + numbers); // Calling iterator() method Iterator iterate = numbers.iterator(); System.out.print("TreeSet using Iterator: "); // Accessing elements while(iterate.hasNext()) ( System.out.print(iterate.next()); System.out.print(", "); ) ) )
Produzione
TreeSet: (2, 5, 6) TreeSet utilizzando Iterator: 2, 5, 6,
Rimuovi elementi
remove()- rimuove l'elemento specificato dal setremoveAll()- rimuove tutti gli elementi dal set
Per esempio,
import java.util.TreeSet; class Main ( public static void main(String() args) ( TreeSet numbers = new TreeSet(); numbers.add(2); numbers.add(5); numbers.add(6); System.out.println("TreeSet: " + numbers); // Using the remove() method boolean value1 = numbers.remove(5); System.out.println("Is 5 removed? " + value1); // Using the removeAll() method boolean value2 = numbers.removeAll(numbers); System.out.println("Are all elements removed? " + value2); ) )
Produzione
TreeSet: (2, 5, 6) 5 è stato rimosso? true Sono stati rimossi tutti gli elementi? vero
Metodi di navigazione
Poiché la TreeSetclasse implementa NavigableSet, fornisce vari metodi per navigare tra gli elementi dell'insieme di alberi.
1. Metodi first () e last ()
first()- restituisce il primo elemento dell'insiemelast()- restituisce l'ultimo elemento dell'insieme
Per esempio,
import java.util.TreeSet; class Main ( public static void main(String() args) ( TreeSet numbers = new TreeSet(); numbers.add(2); numbers.add(5); numbers.add(6); System.out.println("TreeSet: " + numbers); // Using the first() method int first = numbers.first(); System.out.println("First Number: " + first); // Using the last() method int last = numbers.last(); System.out.println("Last Number: " + last); ) )
Produzione
TreeSet: (2, 5, 6) Primo numero: 2 Ultimo numero: 6
2. Metodi soffitto (), pavimento (), maggiore () e minore ()
- maggiore (elemento) - Restituisce l'elemento più basso tra quegli elementi che sono maggiori di quello specificato
element. - lower (element) - Restituisce l'elemento più grande tra quegli elementi che sono minori di quelli specificati
element. - soffitto (elemento) - Restituisce l'elemento più basso tra quegli elementi che sono maggiori dell'elemento specificato. Se l'elemento passato esiste in un insieme di alberi, restituisce il
elementpassato come argomento. - floor (element) - Restituisce l'elemento più grande tra quegli elementi che sono inferiori a quello specificato
element. Se l'elemento passato esiste in un insieme di alberi, restituisce ilelementpassato come argomento.
Per esempio,
import java.util.TreeSet; class Main ( public static void main(String() args) ( TreeSet numbers = new TreeSet(); numbers.add(2); numbers.add(5); numbers.add(4); numbers.add(6); System.out.println("TreeSet: " + numbers); // Using higher() System.out.println("Using higher: " + numbers.higher(4)); // Using lower() System.out.println("Using lower: " + numbers.lower(4)); // Using ceiling() System.out.println("Using ceiling: " + numbers.ceiling(4)); // Using floor() System.out.println("Using floor: " + numbers.floor(3)); ) )
Produzione
TreeSet: (2, 4, 5, 6) Uso superiore: 5 Uso inferiore: 2 Uso soffitto: 4 Uso pavimento: 2
3. Metodi pollfirst () e pollLast ()
pollFirst()- restituisce e rimuove il primo elemento dall'insiemepollLast()- restituisce e rimuove l'ultimo elemento dal set
Per esempio,
import java.util.TreeSet; class Main ( public static void main(String() args) ( TreeSet numbers = new TreeSet(); numbers.add(2); numbers.add(5); numbers.add(4); numbers.add(6); System.out.println("TreeSet: " + numbers); // Using pollFirst() System.out.println("Removed First Element: " + numbers.pollFirst()); // Using pollLast() System.out.println("Removed Last Element: " + numbers.pollLast()); System.out.println("New TreeSet: " + numbers); ) )
Produzione
TreeSet: (2, 4, 5, 6) Removed First Element: 2 Removed Last Element: 6 New TreeSet: (4, 5)
4. headSet(), tailSet() and subSet() Methods
headSet(element, booleanValue)
The headSet() method returns all the elements of a tree set before the specified element (which is passed as an argument).
The booleanValue parameter is optional. Its default value is false.
If true is passed as a booleanValue, the method returns all the elements before the specified element including the specified element.
For example,
import java.util.TreeSet; class Main ( public static void main(String() args) ( TreeSet numbers = new TreeSet(); numbers.add(2); numbers.add(5); numbers.add(4); numbers.add(6); System.out.println("TreeSet: " + numbers); // Using headSet() with default boolean value System.out.println("Using headSet without boolean value: " + numbers.headSet(5)); // Using headSet() with specified boolean value System.out.println("Using headSet with boolean value: " + numbers.headSet(5, true)); ) )
Output
TreeSet: (2, 4, 5, 6) Using headSet without boolean value: (2, 4) Using headSet with boolean value: (2, 4, 5)
tailSet(element, booleanValue)
The tailSet() method returns all the elements of a tree set after the specified element (which is passed as a parameter) including the specified element.
The booleanValue parameter is optional. Its default value is true.
If false is passed as a booleanValue, the method returns all the elements after the specified element without including the specified element.
For example,
import java.util.TreeSet; class Main ( public static void main(String() args) ( TreeSet numbers = new TreeSet(); numbers.add(2); numbers.add(5); numbers.add(4); numbers.add(6); System.out.println("TreeSet: " + numbers); // Using tailSet() with default boolean value System.out.println("Using tailSet without boolean value: " + numbers.tailSet(4)); // Using tailSet() with specified boolean value System.out.println("Using tailSet with boolean value: " + numbers.tailSet(4, false)); ) )
Output
TreeSet: (2, 4, 5, 6) Using tailSet without boolean value: (4, 5, 6) Using tailSet with boolean value: (5, 6)
subSet(e1, bv1, e2, bv2)
The subSet() method returns all the elements between e1 and e2 including e1.
The bv1 and bv2 are optional parameters. The default value of bv1 is true, and the default value of bv2 is false.
If false is passed as bv1, the method returns all the elements between e1 and e2 without including e1.
If true is passed as bv2, the method returns all the elements between e1 and e2, including e1.
For example,
import java.util.TreeSet; class Main ( public static void main(String() args) ( TreeSet numbers = new TreeSet(); numbers.add(2); numbers.add(5); numbers.add(4); numbers.add(6); System.out.println("TreeSet: " + numbers); // Using subSet() with default boolean value System.out.println("Using subSet without boolean value: " + numbers.subSet(4, 6)); // Using subSet() with specified boolean value System.out.println("Using subSet with boolean value: " + numbers.subSet(4, false, 6, true)); ) )
Output
TreeSet: (2, 4, 5, 6) Using subSet without boolean value: (4, 5) Using subSet with boolean value: (5, 6)
Set Operations
The methods of the TreeSet class can also be used to perform various set operations.
Union of Sets
To perform the union between two sets, we use the addAll() method. For example,
import java.util.TreeSet;; class Main ( public static void main(String() args) ( TreeSet evenNumbers = new TreeSet(); evenNumbers.add(2); evenNumbers.add(4); System.out.println("TreeSet1: " + evenNumbers); TreeSet numbers = new TreeSet(); numbers.add(1); numbers.add(2); numbers.add(3); System.out.println("TreeSet2: " + numbers); // Union of two sets numbers.addAll(evenNumbers); System.out.println("Union is: " + numbers); ) )
Output
TreeSet1: (2, 4) TreeSet2: (1, 2, 3) Union is: (1, 2, 3, 4)
Intersection of Sets
To perform the intersection between two sets, we use the retainAll() method. For example,
import java.util.TreeSet;; class Main ( public static void main(String() args) ( TreeSet evenNumbers = new TreeSet(); evenNumbers.add(2); evenNumbers.add(4); System.out.println("TreeSet1: " + evenNumbers); TreeSet numbers = new TreeSet(); numbers.add(1); numbers.add(2); numbers.add(3); System.out.println("TreeSet2: " + numbers); // Intersection of two sets numbers.retainAll(evenNumbers); System.out.println("Intersection is: " + numbers); ) )
Output
TreeSet1: (2, 4) TreeSet2: (1, 2, 3) Intersection is: (2)
Difference of Sets
To calculate the difference between the two sets, we can use the removeAll() method. For example,
import java.util.TreeSet;; class Main ( public static void main(String() args) ( TreeSet evenNumbers = new TreeSet(); evenNumbers.add(2); evenNumbers.add(4); System.out.println("TreeSet1: " + evenNumbers); TreeSet numbers = new TreeSet(); numbers.add(1); numbers.add(2); numbers.add(3); numbers.add(4); System.out.println("TreeSet2: " + numbers); // Difference between two sets numbers.removeAll(evenNumbers); System.out.println("Difference is: " + numbers); ) )
Output
TreeSet1: (2, 4) TreeSet2: (1, 2, 3, 4) Difference is: (1, 3)
Subset of a Set
To check if a set is a subset of another set or not, we use the containsAll() method. For example,
import java.util.TreeSet; class Main ( public static void main(String() args) ( TreeSet numbers = new TreeSet(); numbers.add(1); numbers.add(2); numbers.add(3); numbers.add(4); System.out.println("TreeSet1: " + numbers); TreeSet primeNumbers = new TreeSet(); primeNumbers.add(2); primeNumbers.add(3); System.out.println("TreeSet2: " + primeNumbers); // Check if primeNumbers is subset of numbers boolean result = numbers.containsAll(primeNumbers); System.out.println("Is TreeSet2 subset of TreeSet1? " + result); ) )
Output
TreeSet1: (1, 2, 3, 4) TreeSet2: (2, 3) Is TreeSet2 subset of TreeSet1? True
Other Methods of TreeSet
| Method | Description |
|---|---|
clone() | Creates a copy of the TreeSet |
contains() | Searches the TreeSet for the specified element and returns a boolean result |
isEmpty() | Checks if the TreeSet is empty |
size() | Returns the size of the TreeSet |
clear() | Removes all the elements from the TreeSet |

TreeSet Vs. HashSet
Both the TreeSet as well as the HashSet implements the Set interface. However, there exist some differences between them.
- Unlike
HashSet, elements inTreeSetare stored in some order. It is becauseTreeSetimplements theSortedSetinterface as well. TreeSetprovides some methods for easy navigation. For example,first(),last(),headSet(),tailSet(), etc. It is becauseTreeSetalso implements theNavigableSetinterface.HashSetis faster than theTreeSetfor basic operations like add, remove, contains and size.
TreeSet Comparator
In all the examples above, tree set elements are sorted naturally. However, we can also customize the ordering of elements.
For this, we need to create our own comparator class based on which elements in a tree set are sorted. For example,
import java.util.TreeSet; import java.util.Comparator; class Main ( public static void main(String() args) ( // Creating a tree set with customized comparator TreeSet animals = new TreeSet(new CustomComparator()); animals.add("Dog"); animals.add("Zebra"); animals.add("Cat"); animals.add("Horse"); System.out.println("TreeSet: " + animals); ) // Creating a comparator class public static class CustomComparator implements Comparator ( @Override public int compare(String animal1, String animal2) ( int value = animal1.compareTo(animal2); // elements are sorted in reverse order if (value> 0) ( return -1; ) else if (value < 0) ( return 1; ) else ( return 0; ) ) ) )
Output
TreeSet: (Zebra, Horse, Dog, Cat)
In the above example, we have created a tree set passing CustomComparator class as an argument.
La classe CustomComparator implementa l' Comparatorinterfaccia.
Quindi sovrascriviamo il compare()metodo. Il metodo ora ordinerà gli elementi in ordine inverso.
