How to convert an Array to a Set in Java
Like this:
Set<T> mySet = new HashSet<>(Arrays.asList(someArray));
In Java 9+, if unmodifiable set is ok:
Set<T> mySet = Set.of(someArray);
In Java 10+, the generic type parameter can be inferred from the arrays component type:
var mySet = Set.of(someArray);
Set<T> mySet = new HashSet<T>();Collections.addAll(mySet, myArray);
That's Collections.addAll(java.util.Collection, T...) from JDK 6.
Additionally: what if our array is full of primitives?
For JDK < 8, I would just write the obvious for
loop to do the wrap and add-to-set in one pass.
For JDK >= 8, an attractive option is something like:
Arrays.stream(intArray).boxed().collect(Collectors.toSet());
