purpose of set in java code example

Example 1: set java

import java.util.*;
public class SetDemo {

  public static void main(String args[]) { 
      int count[] = {34, 22,10,60,30,22};
      Set<Integer> set = new HashSet<Integer>();
      try {
         for(int i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
            set.add(count[i]);
         }
         System.out.println(set);

         TreeSet sortedSet = new TreeSet<Integer>(set);
         System.out.println("The sorted list is:");
         System.out.println(sortedSet);

         System.out.println("The First element of the set is: "+ (Integer)sortedSet.first());
         System.out.println("The last element of the set is: "+ (Integer)sortedSet.last());
      }
      catch(Exception e) {}
   }
} 

OUTPUT:

              [34, 22, 10, 60, 30]
              The sorted list is:
              [10, 22, 30, 34, 60]
              The First element of the set is: 10
              The last element of the set is: 60

Example 2: java set operations

s1.containsAll(s2) — returns true if s2 is a subset of s1. (s2 is a subset of s1 if set s1 contains all of the elements in s2.)
s1.addAll(s2) — transforms s1 into the union of s1 and s2. (The union of two sets is the set containing all of the elements contained in either set.)
s1.retainAll(s2) — transforms s1 into the intersection of s1 and s2. (The intersection of two sets is the set containing only the elements common to both sets.)
s1.removeAll(s2) — transforms s1 into the (asymmetric) set difference of s1 and s2. (For example, the set difference of s1 minus s2 is the set containing all of the elements found in s1 but not in s2.)
