Kotlin Set : setOf()


Read Discuss Courses Practice

Kotlin Set interface is a generic unordered collection of elements and it does


not contain duplicate elements. Kotlin supports two types of sets mutable and
immutable.
setOf() is immutable means it supports only read-only functionalities and
mutableSetOf() is mutable means it supports read and write both
functionality.

Syntax:

fun <T> setOf( vararg elements: T): Set<T>

Description:

This function returns a new read only set of given elements.


The elements are iterated over, according as they are stored .

Kotlin program of setOf() function :

Kotlin
fun main(args: Array<String>)
{
//declaring a set of strings
val seta = setOf("Geeks" , "for", "geeks")
//declaring a set of characters
val setb = setOf( "G" , "f" , "g" )
//declaring a set of integers
val setc = setOf( 1 ,2 , 3 , 4 )

//traversing through a set of strings


for(item in seta)
print( item )
println()
//traversing through a set of characters
for(item in setb)
print( item )
println()
//traversing through a set of integers
for(item in setc)
print( "$item ")
}

Output:

Geeksforgeeks
Gfg
1 2 3 4

Set Indexing –

Using index functions indexOf() , lastIndexOf() we can get the index of the
specified element. And we can also find the elements at some specific index
using elementAt() function.

Kotlin program of using index –

Kotlin

fun main(args: Array<String>) {

val captains = setOf("Kohli","Smith","Root","Malinga","Rohit","Dhawan")

println("The element at index 2 is: "+captains.elementAt(2))


println("The index of element is: "+captains.indexOf("Smith"))

println("The last index of element is: "+captains.lastIndexOf("Rohit"))


}

Output:

The element at index 2 is: Root


The index of element is: 1
The last index of element is: 4

Set first and last element –

We can get the first and element of a set using first() and last() functions.

Kotlin program –

Kotlin

fun main(args: Array<String>){


val captains = setOf(1,2,3,4,"Kohli","Smith",
"Root","Malinga","Rohit","Dhawan")

println("The first element of the set is: "+captains.first())

println("The last element of the set is: "+captains.last())


}

Output:

The first element of the set is: 1


The last element of the set is: Dhawan

Set Basics –

Here we will discuss basics functions like count(), max(), min(), sum(),
average().
Kotlin program of using basic functions –

Kotlin

fun main(args: Array<String>) {

val num = setOf(1 ,2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8)

println("The number of element in the set is: "+num.count())


println("The maximum element in the set is: "+num.max())
println("The minimum element in the set is: "+num.min())
println("The sum of the elements in the set is: "+num.sum())
println("The average of elements in the set is: "+num.average())
}

Output:

The number of element in the set is: 8


The maximum element in the set is: 8
The minimum element in the set is: 1
The sum of the elements in the set is: 36
The average of elements in the set is: 4.5

contains() and containsAll() functions –

Both the methods are used to check whether an element is present in the set
or not?
Kotlin program of using contains() and containsAll() function –

Kotlin

fun main(args: Array<String>){


val captains = setOf(1,2,3,4,"Kohli","Smith",
"Root","Malinga","Rohit","Dhawan")

var name = "Dhawan"


println("The set contains the element $name or not?" +
" "+captains.contains(name))

var num = 5
println("The set contains the element $num or not?" +
" "+captains.contains(num))

println("The set contains the given elements or not?" +


" "+captains.containsAll(setOf(1,3,"Root")))
}

Output:

The set contains the element Dhawan or not? true


The set contains the element 5 or not? false
The set contains the given elements or not? true

Checking equality of empty sets and use of isEmpty() functions –

fun <T> setOf(): Set<T>

This syntax returns an empty set of specific type.

Kotlin program of using isEmpty() function –

Kotlin

fun main(args: Array<String>) {


//creating an empty set of strings
val seta = setOf<String>()
//creating an empty set of integers
val setb =setOf<Int>()

//checking if set is empty or not


println("seta.isEmpty() is ${seta.isEmpty()}")

// Since Empty sets are equal

//checking if two sets are equal or not


println("seta == setb is ${seta == setb}")

println(seta) //printing first set


}

Output :

seta.isEmpty() is true
seta == setb is true
[]

Sure, here’s an example code that demonstrates how to use the setOf()
function in Kotlin

Kotlin

fun main() {
val fruits = setOf("apple", "banana", "cherry")

val hasApple = fruits.contains("apple")


val hasOrange = fruits.contains("orange")

println("Fruits: $fruits")
println("Does the set contain an apple? $hasApple")
println("Does the set contain an orange? $hasOrange")

for (fruit in fruits) {


println(fruit)
}
}

output:
Fruits: [apple, banana, cherry]
Does the set contain an apple? true
Does the set contain an orange? false
apple
banana
cherry

Advantages of setOf() function in Kotlin:

1. It is a simple and convenient way to create an immutable set of elements.


2. Since the set is immutable, its contents cannot be modified once it has been
created, making it a safe option for use in multithreaded environments.
3. The setOf() function ensures that the set does not contain any duplicate
elements, which can help to prevent bugs in your code.

Disadvantages of setOf() function in Kotlin:

1. Since the set is immutable, you cannot add or remove elements from it once
it has been created. This may be a disadvantage if you need to modify the
contents of the set during the runtime of your program.
2. If you need to create a mutable set that can be modified at runtime, you will
need to use a different function, such as mutableSetOf().
