February 04, 2022
Collections.disjoint method.
static boolean disjoint(Collection<?> c1, Collection<?> c2)
disjoint method returns true if the two specified collections have no elements in common.
2. The method returns false if at least one element is common in both the collection.
3. The method throws
NullPointerException if any of the collection is null.
Example-1
CollectionsDisjoint1.java
package com.concretepage;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Collections;
import java.util.List;
public class CollectionsDisjoint1 {
public static void main(String[] args) {
List<String> list1 = new ArrayList<>();
list1.add("A");
list1.add("B");
list1.add("C");
List<String> list2 = new ArrayList<>();
list2.add("C");
list2.add("D");
list2.add("E");
boolean res1 = Collections.disjoint(list1, list2);
System.out.println(res1); // Output: false
List<String> list3 = new ArrayList<>();
list3.add("F");
list3.add("G");
boolean res2 = Collections.disjoint(list1, list3);
System.out.println(res2); // Output: true
}
}
Example-2
CollectionsDisjoint2.java
package com.concretepage;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Collections;
import java.util.List;
public class CollectionsDisjoint2 {
public static void main(String[] args) {
List<Integer> list1 = new ArrayList<>();
list1.add(10);
list1.add(20);
list1.add(30);
List<Integer> list2 = new ArrayList<>();
list2.add(30);
list2.add(40);
list2.add(50);
boolean res1 = Collections.disjoint(list1, list2);
System.out.println(res1); // Output: false
List<Integer> list3 = new ArrayList<>();
list3.add(60);
list3.add(70);
boolean res2 = Collections.disjoint(list1, list3);
System.out.println(res2); // Output: true
}
}
