how to select in dropdown in selenium code example

Example 1: select dropdown selenium

How do you handle Select type of dropdown?
    - If it is <select> we would have to use Select class from Selenium.
    - Methods to select from dropdown:
        - selectByVisibleText
        - selectByValue
        - selectByIndex 
--> How do we verify which option is selected in a dropdown?
    - If we want to get the currently selected option, 
    we use getFirstSelectedOption() method.
    getFirstSelectedOption();
        -> return type: currently selected option as a web element
--> .getOptions();
    -> This method will return all of the options in the <select> web element.
    -> return type: List<WebElement>

Example 2: using selenium with a dropdown menu

driver.findElement(By.id("dropdownlistone")).click(); // To click on drop down list
driver.findElement(By.linkText("india")).click(); // To select a data from the drop down list
