LinkedHashSet contains() method in Java

Last Updated : 30 Sep, 2019

The Java.util.LinkedHashSet.contains() method is used to check whether a specific element is present in the LinkedHashSet or not. So basically it is used to check if a Set contains any particular element.

Syntax:

Hash_Set.contains(Object element)

Parameters: The parameter element is of the type of LinkedHashSet. This is the element that needs to be tested if it is present in the set or not.

Return Value: The method returns true if the element is present in the set else return False.

Below program illustrate the Java.util.LinkedHashSet.contains() method:

// Java code to illustrate LinkedHashSet.contains() method
import java.io.*;
import java.util.LinkedHashSet;
  
public class LinkedHashSetDemo {
    public static void main(String args[])
    {
        // Creating an empty LinkedHashSet
        LinkedHashSet<String> set = new LinkedHashSet<String>();
  
        // Using 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 LinkedHashSet
        System.out.println("LinkedHashSet: " + set);
  
        // Check for "Geeks" in the set
        System.out.println("Does the Set contains 'Geeks'? " + set.contains("Geeks"));
  
        // Check for "4" in the set
        System.out.println("Does the Set contains '4'? " + set.contains("4"));
  
        // Check if the Set contains "No"
        System.out.println("Does the Set contains 'No'? " + set.contains("No"));
    }
}

Output:

LinkedHashSet: [Welcome, To, Geeks, 4]
Does the Set contains 'Geeks'? true
Does the Set contains '4'? true
Does the Set contains 'No'? false
