ListSet in Scala
A set is a collection which only contains unique items which are not repeatable and a list is a collection which contains immutable data. In scala, ListSet class implements immutable sets using a list-based data structure. Elements are stored in reversed insertion order, That means the newest element is at the head of the list. It maintains insertion order.
Listset is used only for a small number of elements. We can create empty ListSet either by calling the constructor or by applying the function ListSet.empty. It’s iterate and traversal methods visit elements in the same order in which they were first inserted.
Syntax:
var ListSetName = ListSet(element1, element2, element3, ....)
Operations with ListSet
Initialize a ListSet : Below is the example to create or initialize ListSet.
// Scala program to Initialize a ListSet import scala.collection.immutable._ // Creating object object GFG { // Main method def main(args:Array[String]) { println("Initializing an immutable ListSet ") // Creating ListSet val listSet1: ListSet[String] = ListSet("GeeksForGeeks", "Article", "Scala") println(s"Elements of listSet1 = $listSet1") } } |
Output:
Initializing an immutable ListSet Elements of listSet1 = ListSet(Scala, Article, GeeksForGeeks)
Check specific elements in ListSet :
// Scala program to Check specific elements in ListSet import scala.collection.immutable._ // Creating object object GFG { // Main method def main(args:Array[String]) { println("Initializing an immutable ListSet ") // Creating ListSet val listSet1: ListSet[String] = ListSet("GeeksForGeeks", "Article", "Scala") println(s"Elements of listSet1 = $listSet1") println("Check elements of immutable ListSet") // Checking element in a ListSet println(s"GeeksForGeeks = ${listSet1("GeeksForGeeks")}") println(s"Student = ${listSet1("Student")}") println(s"Scala = ${listSet1("Scala")}") } } |
Output:
Initializing an immutable ListSet Elements of listSet1 = ListSet(Scala, Article, GeeksForGeeks) Check elements of immutable ListSet GeeksForGeeks = true Student = false Scala = true
Adding an elements in ListSet : We can add an element in ListSet by using + operator. below is the example of adding an element in ListSet.
// Scala program to Add an element in a ListSetimport scala.collection.immutable._ // Creating object object GFG { // Main method def main(args:Array[String]) { println("Initializing an immutable ListSet ") // Creating ListSet val listSet1: ListSet[String] = ListSet("GeeksForGeeks", "Article", "Scala") println(s"Elements of listSet1 = $listSet1") // Adding element in ListSet println("Add element of immutable ListSet ") val listSet2: ListSet[String] = listSet1 + "Java" println(s"Adding element java to ListSet $listSet2") } } |
Output:
Initializing an immutable ListSet Elements of listSet1 = ListSet(Scala, Article, GeeksForGeeks) Add element of immutable ListSet Adding element java to ListSet ListSet(Java, Scala, Article, GeeksForGeeks)
Adding two ListSet : We can add two ListSet by using ++ operator. below is the example of adding two ListSet.
// Scala program to Add two ListSetimport scala.collection.immutable._ // Creating object object GFG { // Main method def main(args:Array[String]) { println("Initializing an immutable ListSet ") // Creating ListSet val listSet1: ListSet[String] = ListSet("GeeksForGeeks", "Article", "Scala") println(s"Elements of listSet1 = $listSet1") // Adding two ListSet val listSet2: ListSet[String] = listSet1 ++ ListSet("Java", "Csharp") println(s"After adding two lists $listSet2") } } |
Output:
Initializing an immutable ListSet Elements of listSet1 = ListSet(Scala, Article, GeeksForGeeks) After adding two lists ListSet(Java, Csharp, Scala, Article, GeeksForGeeks)
Remove element from the ListSet : We can remove an element in ListSet by using – operator. below is the example of removing an element in ListSet.
// Scala program to Remove element from the ListSetimport scala.collection.immutable._ // Creating object object GFG { // Main method def main(args:Array[String]) { println("Initializing an immutable ListSet ") // Creating ListSet val listSet1: ListSet[String] = ListSet("GeeksForGeeks", "Article", "Scala") println(s"Elements of listSet1 = $listSet1") println("Remove element from the ListSet ") val listSet2: ListSet[String] = listSet1 - ("Article") println(s"After removing element from listset = $listSet2") } } |
Output:
Initializing an immutable ListSet Elements of listSet1 = ListSet(Scala, Article, GeeksForGeeks) Remove element from the ListSet After removing element from listset = ListSet(Scala, GeeksForGeeks)
Initialize an empty ListSet :
// Scala program to print empty ListSetimport scala.collection.immutable._ // Creating object object GFG { // Main method def main(args:Array[String]) { // Creating an empty ListSet println("Initialize an empty ListSet") val emptyListSet: ListSet[String] = ListSet.empty[String] println(s"String type empty ListSet = $emptyListSet") } } |
Output:
Initialize an empty ListSet String type empty ListSet = ListSet()
Note: We can create empty ListSet either by applying the function ListSet.empty or by calling the constructor .
