What methods of data implementation do you know?

Answer from AI

In Java, a set of data is usually implemented using the Set interface. Main implementations:

  • HashSet — based on a hash table, provides fast access (O(1) on average), does not guarantee element order.
  • LinkedHashSet — extends HashSet, preserves insertion order.
  • TreeSet — based on a red-black tree, stores elements in sorted order, operations have a complexity of O(log n).

Example of using HashSet:

Set<String> set = new HashSet<>();
set.add("apple");
set.add("banana");
set.add("apple"); // duplicate will not be added

for (String fruit : set) {
    System.out.println(fruit);
}

It is also possible to implement a set based on other structures, such as lists with a check for uniqueness, but this is less efficient.
