ConcurrentSkipListSet descendingSet() method in Java
The descendingSet() method of java.util.concurrent.ConcurrentSkipListSet is an in-built function in Java which returns a reverse order view of the elements contained in this set. The descending set is backed by this set, so changes to the set are reflected in the descending set, and vice-versa.
Syntax:
ConcurrentSkipListSet.descendingSet()
Return Value: The function returns a NavigableSet which is a reverse order view of this set.
Below programs illustrate the ConcurrentSkipListSet.Set() method:
Program 1:
// Java Program Demonstrate descendingSet() // method of ConcurrentSkipListSet */ import java.util.NavigableSet; import java.util.Iterator; import java.util.concurrent.ConcurrentSkipListSet; class ConcurrentSkipListSetIteratorExample1 { public static void main(String[] args) { // Initializing the set ConcurrentSkipListSet<Integer> set = new ConcurrentSkipListSet<Integer>(); // Adding elements to this set set.add( 10 ); set.add( 35 ); set.add( 20 ); set.add( 25 ); // Printing the elements of the set System.out.println( "Contents of the set: " + set); // Creating a descending set object NavigableSet<Integer> des_set = set.descendingSet(); // Printing the elements of the descending set System.out.println( "Contents of the descending set: " + des_set); } } |
Output:
Contents of the set: [10, 20, 25, 35] Contents of the descending set: [35, 25, 20, 10]
Program 2: Program demonstrating change in the original set while insertion of elements in the descending set.
// Java Program Demonstrate descendingSet() // method of ConcurrentSkipListSet */ import java.util.NavigableSet; import java.util.Iterator; import java.util.concurrent.ConcurrentSkipListSet; class ConcurrentSkipListSetIteratorExample2 { public static void main(String[] args) { // Initializing the set ConcurrentSkipListSet<String> set = new ConcurrentSkipListSet<String>(); // Adding elements to this set set.add( "bob" ); set.add( "alex" ); set.add( "eric" ); set.add( "chuck" ); // Creating a descending object NavigableSet<String> des_set = set.descendingSet(); // Adding elements to the descending set and also to the set des_set.add( "drake" ); des_set.add( "fred" ); // Printing the elements of the set System.out.println( "Contents of the set: " + set); // Printing the elements of the descending set System.out.println( "Contents of the descending set: " + des_set); } } |
Output:
Contents of the set: [alex, bob, chuck, drake, eric, fred] Contents of the descending set: [fred, eric, drake, chuck, bob, alex]
