Java中的List接口的contains()方法用于检查指定元素是否存在于给定列表中。

用法:

public boolean contains(Object obj)

object-element to be searched for

参数:此方法接受单个参数obj,其在列表中的存在将被测试。

返回值:如果在列表中找到指定的元素,则返回true,否则返回false。

下面的程序在List中说明了contains()方法:

示例1:在整数列表中演示contains()方法的用法。

// Java code to demonstrate the working of
// contains() method in List interface
import java.util.*;
class GFG {
public static void main(String[] args)
{
// creating an Empty Integer List
List arr = new ArrayList(4);
// using add() to initialize values
// [1, 2, 3, 4]
arr.add(1);
arr.add(2);
arr.add(3);
arr.add(4);
// use contains() to check if the element
// 2 exits or not
boolean ans = arr.contains(2);
if (ans)
System.out.println("The list contains 2");
else
System.out.println("The list does not contains 2");
// use contains() to check if the element
// 5 exits or not
ans = arr.contains(5);
if (ans)
System.out.println("The list contains 5");
else
System.out.println("The list does not contains 5");
}
}

输出:

The list contains 2
The list does not contains 5

示例2:在字符串列表中演示方法contains()的工作。

// Java code to demonstrate the working of
// contains() method in List of string
import java.util.*;
class GFG {
public static void main(String[] args)
{
// creating an Empty String List
List arr = new ArrayList(4);
// using add() to initialize values
// ["geeks", "for", "geeks"]
arr.add("geeks");
arr.add("for");
arr.add("geeks");
// use contains() to check if the element
// "geeks" exits or not
boolean ans = arr.contains("geeks");
if (ans)
System.out.println("The list contains geeks");
else
System.out.println("The list does not contains geeks");
// use contains() to check if the element
// "coding" exits or not
ans = arr.contains("coding");
if (ans)
System.out.println("The list contains coding");
else
System.out.println("The list does not contains coding");
}
}

输出:

The list contains geeks
The list does not contains coding

实际应用:在搜索操作中,我们可以检查列表中是否存在给定元素。
