The newSetFromMap() method of java.util.Collections class is used to return a set backed by the specified map. The resulting set displays the same ordering, concurrency, and performance characteristics as the backing map. In essence, this factory method provides a Set implementation corresponding to any Map implementation. There is no need to use this method on a Map implementation that already has a corresponding Set implementation (such as HashMap or TreeMap).
Syntax:
public static Set newSetFromMap(Map map)
Parameters: This method takes the backing map as a parameter
Return Value: This method returns the set backed by the map
Exception: This method throws IllegalArgumentException, if map is not empty.
Below are the examples to illustrate the newSetFromMap() method
Example 1:
// Java program to demonstrate // newSetFromMap() method import java.util.*;
public class GFG1 {
public static void main(String[] argv)
throws Exception
{
try {
// creating object of Map<String, Boolean>
Map<String, Boolean>
map = new WeakHashMap<String, Boolean>();
// creating object of LinkedList
Set<String> set = Collections.newSetFromMap(map);
// add values in set
set.add( "A" );
set.add( "B" );
set.add( "C" );
set.add( "D" );
// set and map values are
System.out.println( "Map is: " + map);
System.out.println( "Set from Map is: " + set);
}
catch (IllegalArgumentException e) {
System.out.println( "Exception thrown : " + e);
}
}
} |
Map is: {C=true, B=true, A=true, D=true} Set from Map is: [C, B, A, D]
Example 2: for IllegalArgumentException
// Java program to demonstrate // newSetFromMap() method // for IllegalArgumentException import java.util.*;
<div class = 'outputDiv' >
<b>Output:</b> <pre> Set is: [C, B, A, D] Map is: {C= true , B= true , A= true , D= true }
</pre> </div> public class GFG1 {
public static void main(String[] argv) throws Exception
{
try {
// creating object of Map<String, Boolean>
Map<String, Boolean>
map = new WeakHashMap<String, Boolean>();
// putting value in map
map.put( "1" , true );
// creating object of LinkedList
Set<String> set = Collections.newSetFromMap(map);
// add values in set
set.add( "A" );
set.add( "B" );
set.add( "C" );
set.add( "D" );
// set and map values are
System.out.println( "Map is: " + map);
System.out.println( "Set from Map is: " + set);
}
catch (IllegalArgumentException e) {
System.out.println( "Exception thrown : " + e);
}
}

Exception thrown : java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Map is non-empty
