ListSet in Scala - GeeksforGeeks

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 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") 
          
        // 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 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") 
          
        // 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 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("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 ListSet 
import 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 .
