HashSet remove() Method in Java

The Java.util.HashSet.remove(Object O) method is used to remove a particular element from a HashSet.

Syntax:

Return Value: This method returns True if the specified element is present in the HashSet otherwise it returns False.

Below program illustrate the Java.util.HashSet.remove(Object O) method:

// Java code to illustrate HashSet.remove() method  
import java.util.*; 
import java.util.HashSet; 
  
public class HashSetDemo { 
    public static void main(String args[]) 
    { 
        // Creating an empty HashSet 
        HashSet<String> set = new HashSet<String>(); 
  
        // Use add() method to add elements into the Set 
        set.add("Welcome"); 
        set.add("To"); 
        set.add("Geeks"); 
        set.add("4"); 
        set.add("Geeks"); 
  
        // Displaying the HashSet 
        System.out.println("HashSet: " + set); 
  
        // Removing elements using remove() method 
        set.remove("Geeks"); 
        set.remove("4"); 
        set.remove("Welcome"); 
  
        // Displaying the HashSet after removal 
        System.out.println("HashSet after removing elements: " + set); 
    } 
} 

Output:

HashSet: [4, Geeks, Welcome, To]
HashSet after removing elements: [To]
