find duplicate values in array java code example

Example 1: java array check duplicates

duplicates = false;

for(i = 0; i < zipcodeList.length; i++) {
	for(j = i + 1; k < zipcodeList.length; j++) {
  		if(j != i && zipcodeList[j] == zipcodeList[i]) {
   	  		duplicates = true;
		}
	}
}

Example 2: java find duplicates in array

package dto;

import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.HashSet;
import java.util.Map;
import java.util.Map.Entry;
import java.util.Set;

/**
 * Java Program to find duplicate elements in an array. There are two straight
 * forward solution of this problem first, brute force way and second by using
 * HashSet data structure. A third solution, similar to second one is by using
 * hash table data structure e.g. HashMap to store count of each element and
 * print element with count 1.

        // Print duplicate elements from array in Java
        Set<Entry<String, Integer>> entrySet = nameAndCount.entrySet();
        for (Entry<String, Integer> entry : entrySet) {

            if (entry.getValue() > 1) {
                System.out.println("Duplicate element from array : "
                        + entry.getKey());

Output :
Finding duplicate elements in array using brute force method
Duplicate elements from array using HashSet data structure
found a duplicate element in array : Java
Duplicate elements from array using hash table
Duplicate element from array : Java

Example 3: find repeated elements in array java

for (String name : names) {
     if (set.add(name) == false) {
        // your duplicate element
     }
}

Example 4: java find duplicates in array

// Uses a set, which does not allow duplicates 

for (String name : names) 
{
     if (set.add(name) == false) 
     {
        // print name your duplicate element
     }
}
