Converting LinkedHashSet to Different Collection Types in Java - Coding

In Java, LinkedHashSet is a Class in the Java Collections Framework that extends the Collection HashSet and maintains the insertion order of the elements. The underlined data structure of the LinkedHastSet is that the insertion order is preserved.

Converting LinkedHashSet to Other Collections

In certain scenarios, we might need to convert the LinkedHashSet to any other collections like List or Map based on the requirement. This is a common requirement while dealing with diverse data structures or when we need to interface with APIs or libraries that expect different types of collections.

List Conversion

1. Using Constructor: By utilizing the constructor of the desired List implementation (like ArrayList) and passing the LinkedHashSet as an argument.

List<String> list = new ArrayList<>(linkedHashSet);

Example of the above Program:

Java

// Java Program to Convert LinkedHashSet to List 
import java.util.*; 
  
// Driver Class 
public class LinkedHashSetToList { 
      // Main function 
    public static void main(String[] args) 
    { 
        // Create a LinkedHashSet 
        LinkedHashSet<String> linkedHashSet = new LinkedHashSet<>(); 
        linkedHashSet.add("Apple"); 
        linkedHashSet.add("Banana"); 
        linkedHashSet.add("Orange"); 
  
        // Convert LinkedHashSet to List using constructor 
        List<String> list = new ArrayList<>(linkedHashSet); 
  
        // Print the LinkedHashSet and List 
        System.out.println("LinkedHashSet: " + linkedHashSet); 
        System.out.println("List: " + list); 
    } 
} 

Output:

Explaination of the above Program:

In the above program A LinkedHashSet is created with some elements And then the ArrayList Constructor is used to convert the LinkedHashSet to List. And here is the output for the above program

2. Using Iterator

Below is the implementation of the above Program:

Java

// Java Program to Convert LinkedHashSet to List Using Iterator 
import java.util.*; 
  
// Driver Class 
public class LinkedHashSetToListUsingIterator { 
      // Main Function 
    public static void main(String[] args) { 
        // Create a LinkedHashSet 
        LinkedHashSet<String> linkedHashSet = new LinkedHashSet<>(); 
        linkedHashSet.add("Java"); 
        linkedHashSet.add("python"); 
        linkedHashSet.add("c#"); 
  
        // Convert LinkedHashSet to List using iterator 
        List<String> list = new ArrayList<>(); 
        Iterator<String> iterator = linkedHashSet.iterator(); 
        while (iterator.hasNext()) { 
            list.add(iterator.next()); 
        } 
  
        // Print the LinkedHashSet and List 
        System.out.println("LinkedHashSet: " + linkedHashSet); 
        System.out.println("List: " + list); 
    } 
} 

Output

Explaination of the above Program:

In the above program A LinkedHashSet is created with some fields and an empty Arraylist is created , And then an ‘Iterator’ is used to iterate over the LinkedHashSet and each element to the ArrayList.And here is the output of the above Program

Map Conversion

1. Using Constant Values :

Java

// Java Program to Convert LinkedHashSet to Map With Constant Values 
import java.util.*; 
  
// Driver Class 
public class LinkedHashSetToMapWithConstantValues { 
      // Main Function 
    public static void main(String[] args) { 
        // Create a LinkedHashSet 
        LinkedHashSet<String> linkedHashSet = new LinkedHashSet<>(); 
        linkedHashSet.add("Apple"); 
        linkedHashSet.add("Banana"); 
        linkedHashSet.add("Orange"); 
  
        // Convert LinkedHashSet to Map with constant values 
        Map<String, Integer> mapWithConstantValues = new HashMap<>(); 
        linkedHashSet.forEach(item -> mapWithConstantValues.put(item, 1)); 
  
        // Print the LinkedHashSet and Map with Constant Values 
        System.out.println("LinkedHashSet: " + linkedHashSet); 
        System.out.println("Map with Constant Values: " + mapWithConstantValues); 
    } 
} 

Output :

Explaination of the above Program:

In the above program a LinkedHashset is created with some values and a HashMap is created, And forEach method is used to iterate over the LinkedHashSet and each element with a constant value (1) to the HashMap.

2. Using Derived Values

Java

// Java Program to Convert LinkedHashSet to Map With Derived Values 
import java.util.*; 
  
// Driver Class 
public class LinkedHashSetToMapWithDerivedValues { 
      // Main Function 
    public static void main(String[] args) { 
        // Create a LinkedHashSet 
        LinkedHashSet<String> linkedHashSet = new LinkedHashSet<>(); 
        linkedHashSet.add("Apple"); 
        linkedHashSet.add("Banana"); 
        linkedHashSet.add("Orange"); 
  
        // Convert LinkedHashSet to Map with values derived from keys 
        Map<String, Integer> mapWithDerivedValues = new HashMap<>(); 
        linkedHashSet.forEach(item -> mapWithDerivedValues.put(item, item.length())); 
  
        // Print the LinkedHashSet and Map with Derived Values 
        System.out.println("LinkedHashSet: " + linkedHashSet); 
        System.out.println("Map with Derived Values: " + mapWithDerivedValues); 
    } 
} 

Output :

Output

Explaination of the above Program:

In the above program a LinkedHashset is created with some values and a HashMap is created, And forEach method is used to iterate over the LinkedHashSet and each element with with a value derived from its length to HashMap.
