Getting the difference between two sets

If you use Guava (former Google Collections) library there is a solution:

SetView<Number> difference = com.google.common.collect.Sets.difference(test2, test1);

The returned SetView is a Set, it is a live representation you can either make immutable or copy to another set. test1 and test2 are left intact.

Yes:

test2.removeAll(test1)

Although this will mutate test2, so create a copy if you need to preserve it.

Also, you probably meant <Integer> instead of <int>.

Java 8

We can make use of removeIf which takes a predicate to write a utility method as:

// computes the difference without modifying the sets
public static <T> Set<T> differenceJava8(final Set<T> setOne, final Set<T> setTwo) {
     Set<T> result = new HashSet<T>(setOne);
     result.removeIf(setTwo::contains);
     return result;
}

And in case we are still at some prior version then we can use removeAll as:

public static <T> Set<T> difference(final Set<T> setOne, final Set<T> setTwo) {
     Set<T> result = new HashSet<T>(setOne);
     result.removeAll(setTwo);
     return result;
}

Try this

test2.removeAll(test1);

Set#removeAll

Removes from this set all of its elements that are contained in the specified collection (optional operation). If the specified collection is also a set, this operation effectively modifies this set so that its value is the asymmetric set difference of the two sets.
