AbstractSequentialList retainAll() method in Java with Example

The retainAll() method of java.util.AbstractSequentialList class is used to retain from this list all of its elements that are contained in the specified collection.

Syntax:

public boolean retainAll(Collection c)

Parameters: This method takes collection c as a parameter containing elements to be retained from this list.



Returns Value: This method returns true if this list changed as a result of the call.

Exception: This method throws NullPointerException if this list contains a null element and the specified collection does not permit null elements (optional), or if the specified collection is null.

Below are the examples to illustrate the retainAll() method.

Example 1:

                        filter_none









Output:


AbstractSequentialList before retainAll() operation : [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
Collection Elements to be retaind : [1, 2, 3]
AbstractSequentialList after retainAll() operation : [1, 2, 3]
