Program: How to eliminate duplicate user defined objects from HashSet?
Description: |
Below example shows how to avoid duplicate user defined objects from HashSet.
You can achieve this by implementing equals and hashcode methods at the user defined objects.
|
Code: |
package com.java2novice.hashset;
import java.util.HashSet;
public class MyDistElementEx {
public static void main(String a[]){
HashSet<Price> lhm = new HashSet<Price>();
lhm.add(new Price("Banana", 20));
lhm.add(new Price("Apple", 40));
lhm.add(new Price("Orange", 30));
for(Price pr:lhm){
System.out.println(pr);
}
Price duplicate = new Price("Banana", 20);
System.out.println("inserting duplicate object...");
lhm.add(duplicate);
System.out.println("After insertion:");
for(Price pr:lhm){
System.out.println(pr);
}
}
}
class Price{
private String item;
private int price;
public Price(String itm, int pr){
this.item = itm;
this.price = pr;
}
public int hashCode(){
System.out.println("In hashcode");
int hashcode = 0;
hashcode = price*20;
hashcode += item.hashCode();
return hashcode;
}
public boolean equals(Object obj){
System.out.println("In equals");
if (obj instanceof Price) {
Price pp = (Price) obj;
return (pp.item.equals(this.item) && pp.price == this.price);
} else {
return false;
}
}
public String getItem() {
return item;
}
public void setItem(String item) {
this.item = item;
}
public int getPrice() {
return price;
}
public void setPrice(int price) {
this.price = price;
}
public String toString(){
return "item: "+item+" price: "+price;
}
}

Output: |
In hashcode
In hashcode
In hashcode
item: Apple price: 40
item: Orange price: 30
item: Banana price: 20
inserting duplicate object...
In hashcode
In equals
After insertion:
item: Apple price: 40
item: Orange price: 30
item: Banana price: 20

Where can we use serialization?
Whenever an object has to sent over the network, those objects should be serialized. Also if the state of an object is to be saved, objects need to be serilazed.
There is a great difference between worry and concern. A worried person sees a problem, and a concerned person solves a problem.
