Vector set() Method in Java

The Java.util.Vector.set() method is used to replace any particular element in the vector, created using the Vector class, with another element.

Syntax:

Vector.set(int index, Object element)

Parameters: This function accepts two mandatory parameters as shown in the above syntax and described below.

index: This is of integer type and refers to the position of the element that is to be replaced from the vector.
element: It is the new element by which the existing element will be replaced and is of the same object type as the vector.

Return Value: The method returns the previous value from the vector that is replaced with the new value.

Below programs illustrate the Java.util.Vector.set() method:

Program 1:

// Java code to illustrate set() 
import java.util.*; 
  
public class VectorDemo { 
    public static void main(String args[]) 
    { 
        // Creating an empty Vector 
        Vector<String> vec_tor = new Vector<String>(); 
  
        // Use add() method to add elements in the vector 
        vec_tor.add("Geeks"); 
        vec_tor.add("for"); 
        vec_tor.add("Geeks"); 
        vec_tor.add("10"); 
        vec_tor.add("20"); 
  
        // Displaying the Vector 
        System.out.println("Vector: " + vec_tor); 
  
        // Using set() method to replace Geeks with GFG 
        System.out.println("The Object that is replaced is: "
                           + vec_tor.set(2, "GFG")); 
  
        // Using set() method to replace 20 with 50 
        System.out.println("The Object that is replaced is: "
                           + vec_tor.set(4, "50")); 
  
        // Displaying the modified vector 
        System.out.println("The new Vector is:" + vec_tor); 
    } 
} 

Output:

Vector: [Geeks, for, Geeks, 10, 20]
The Object that is replaced is: Geeks
The Object that is replaced is: 20
The new Vector is:[Geeks, for, GFG, 10, 50]

Program 2:

// Java code to illustrate set() 
import java.util.*; 
  
public class VectorDemo { 
    public static void main(String args[]) 
    { 
        // Creating an empty Vector 
        Vector<Integer> vec_tor = new Vector<Integer>(); 
  
        // Use add() method to add elements in the vector 
        vec_tor.add(12); 
        vec_tor.add(23); 
        vec_tor.add(22); 
        vec_tor.add(10); 
        vec_tor.add(20); 
  
        // Displaying the Vector 
        System.out.println("Vector: " + vec_tor); 
  
        // Using set() method to replace 12 with 21 
        System.out.println("The Object that is replaced is: "
                           + vec_tor.set(0, 21)); 
  
        // Using set() method to replace 20 with 50 
        System.out.println("The Object that is replaced is: "
                           + vec_tor.set(4, 50)); 
  
        // Displaying the modified vector 
        System.out.println("The new Vector is:" + vec_tor); 
    } 
} 

Output:

Vector: [12, 23, 22, 10, 20]
The Object that is replaced is: 12
The Object that is replaced is: 20
The new Vector is:[21, 23, 22, 10, 50]
