Program: How to eliminate duplicate user defined objects from LinkedHashSet?


Description:

Below example shows how to avoid duplicate user defined objects from LinkedHashSet. You can achieve this by implementing equals and hashcode methods at the user defined objects.


Code:
package com.java2novice.linkedhashset;

import java.util.LinkedHashSet;

public class MyDistElementEx {

	public static void main(String a[]){
		
		LinkedHashSet<Price> lhm = new LinkedHashSet<Price>();
		lhm.add(new Price("Banana", 20));
		lhm.add(new Price("Apple", 40));
		lhm.add(new Price("Orange", 30));
		for(Price pr:lhm){
			System.out.println(pr);
		}
		Price duplicate = new Price("Banana", 20);
		System.out.println("inserting duplicate object...");
		lhm.add(duplicate);
		System.out.println("After insertion:");
		for(Price pr:lhm){
			System.out.println(pr);
		}
	}
}

class Price{
	
	private String item;
	private int price;
	
	public Price(String itm, int pr){
		this.item = itm;
		this.price = pr;
	}
	
	public int hashCode(){
		System.out.println("In hashcode");
		int hashcode = 0;
		hashcode = price*20;
		hashcode += item.hashCode();
		return hashcode;
	}
	
	public boolean equals(Object obj){
		System.out.println("In equals");
		if (obj instanceof Price) {
			Price pp = (Price) obj;
			return (pp.item.equals(this.item) && pp.price == this.price);
		} else {
			return false;
		}
	}
	
	public String getItem() {
		return item;
	}
	public void setItem(String item) {
		this.item = item;
	}
	public int getPrice() {
		return price;
	}
	public void setPrice(int price) {
		this.price = price;
	}
	
	public String toString(){
		return "item: "+item+"  price: "+price;
	}
}

Output:
In hashcode
In hashcode
In hashcode
item: Banana  price: 20
item: Apple  price: 40
item: Orange  price: 30
inserting duplicate object...
In hashcode
In equals
After insertion:
item: Banana  price: 20
item: Apple  price: 40
item: Orange  price: 30

Knowledge Centre
wait Vs sleep methods
sleep(): It is a static method on Thread class. It makes the current thread into the "Not Runnable" state for specified amount of time. During this time, the thread keeps the lock (monitors) it has acquired.

wait(): It is a method on Object class. It makes the current thread into the "Not Runnable" state. Wait is called on a object, not a thread. Before calling wait() method, the object should be synchronized, means the object should be inside synchronized block. The call to wait() releases the acquired lock.
