Replacing All Elements of Java Vector

All the elements of a vector can be replaced by a specific element using java. util. Collections. fill() method.The fill() method of java.util.Collections class is used to replace all of the elements of the specified list with the specified element.

• Let’s consider the following vector:

VECTOR BEFORE REPLACING

• Let’s say that we have to replace all the elements by Value 1, then after replacing each value in the given vector by 1 are vector should become like the figure below :-

VECTOR AFTER REPLACING

Algorithm :

• A naive way of doing this is to traverse the entire vector and replace each element with the given value. However, in Java, we have a Built-in method Collections.fill() method as a part of Java Collections which replaces all the elements.

This method runs in linear time.

Syntax:

public static  void fill(List list, T obj)

Parameters: This method takes following argument as parameter

• list – the list to be filled with the specified element.
• obj – The element with which to fill the specified list.

Code:

Java

// Java program for Replacing All
// Elements of Java Vector

import java.io.*;
import java.util.Vector;
import java.util.Collections;
class GFG {
    public static void main (String[] args)
    {
      // Create a vector
      Vector<Integer> storage =new Vector<Integer>(6);

      // adding elements to the vector
      storage.add(20);
      storage.add(10);
      storage.add(30);
      storage.add(40);
      storage.add(60);
      storage.add(70);

      // val to replace with
      int val=1;


      // printing the vector before replacing
      System.out.println("Vector before Replacing is: " + storage);

      // using Collections.fill to replace all the elements
      Collections.fill(storage,val);


      //printing the vector after replacing
      System.out.println("Vector after Replacing is:  " + storage);



    }
}

Output

Vector before Replacing is: [20, 10, 30, 40, 60, 70]
Vector after Replacing is:  [1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1]
