Implementing set using arrays

We can implement tree by arrays. Likewise, this program shows how to implement set using arrays:

public class Set<T> {

private T arrayElement[];

int size =0;

public Set(){

this.arrayElement = null;

}

public Set(T[] element){

arrayElement = element;

size = arrayElement.length;

}

/**

*add element to set. A check is made to identify whether element is present or not.

*If not the element can be inserted.

* @param element

*/

public void addElement(T element){

if(!contains(element)){

if(size == arrayElement.length){

incrementArray();

}

arrayElement[size++] = element;

}

}



/**

* to check is element is present or not.

* @param elem

* @return boolean

*/

public boolean contains(T elem){



if (elem == null) {

for (int i = 0; i < size; i++)

if (arrayElement[i]==null)

return true;

} else {

for (int i = 0; i < size; i++)

if (elem.equals(arrayElement[i]))

return true;

}

return false;



}



/**

* return the size of set.

* @return int

*/

public int size(){

if(arrayElement != null){

return arrayElement.length;

}else

return 0;

}



public void clear(){

arrayElement = null;

}



public String toString(){

if(arrayElement == null || arrayElement.length ==0 ){

return“[EMPTY]“;

}else{

String toStr=”[";

for(int i=0;i<arrayElement.length;i++){

toStr+=arrayElement[i]+”,”;

}

toStr+=”]”;

return toStr;

}

}



/**

* to check whether set is empty or not

* @return

*/

public boolean isEmpty(){

if(arrayElement == null || arrayElement.length ==0 )

return true;

else

return false;

}



/**

* this function is used to increment the size of an array

*

*/

private void incrementArray(){

T[] temparray = arrayElement;

int tempsize=size+5;

arrayElement =(T[]) new Object[tempsize];

System.arraycopy(temparray, 0, arrayElement, 0, size);



}

}//Set class ends
