The Longs.contains() method of Guava’s Longs Class is used to check if a value i.e. target is present in the array or not. This target value and the array are taken as parameters to this method. And this method returns a boolean value that states whether the target value is
Syntax:
public static boolean contains(long[] array, long target)
Parameters: This method accepts two parameters:
- array: which is the array of values in which the target value is to be searched
- target: which is the long value to be checked for presence.
Return Value: The method returns True if for some value of i, the value present at ith index is equal to the target, else returns False.
Exceptions: The method doesn’t throw any exception.
Example 1:
// Java code to show implementation of // Guava's Longs.contains() method import com.google.common.primitives.Longs; import java.util.Arrays; class GFG { // Driver's code public static void main(String[] args) { // Creating a long array long [] arr = { 5L, 4L, 3L, 2L, 1L }; long target = 3L; // Using Longs.contains() method to search // for an element in the array. The method // returns true if element is found, else // returns false if (Longs.contains(arr, target)) System.out.println( "Target is present" + " in the array" ); else System.out.println( "Target is not " + "present in the array" ); } } |
Target is present in the array
Example 2:
// Java code to show implementation of // Guava's Longs.contains() method import com.google.common.primitives.Longs; import java.util.Arrays; class GFG { // Driver's code public static void main(String[] args) { // Creating a long array long [] arr = { 2L, 4L, 6L, 8L, 10L }; long target = 7L; // Using Longs.contains() method to search // for an element in the array. The method // returns true if element is found, else // returns false if (Longs.contains(arr, target)) System.out.println( "Target is present" + " in the array" ); else System.out.println( "Target is not " + "present in the array" ); } } |
Target is not present in the array
