how to find length of set in java

To find the length or size of a set in Java, you can use the size() method of the java.util.Set interface.

Here's an example of how to find the length of a set in Java:

import java.util.Set;
import java.util.HashSet;

Set<String> set = new HashSet<>();
set.add("apple");
set.add("banana");
set.add("orange");

int size = set.size();

System.out.println("The size of the set is " + size);

In the above example, a HashSet is created and three elements are added to it using the add() method. The size() method is then used to get the size of the set, which is stored in the size variable. The size variable is then printed to the console.

Note that the size() method returns an int value, which means it can only return sizes up to the maximum value of an int (2147483647). If you need to handle sets with larger sizes, you can use the long data type or the java.math.BigInteger class.

For example:

import java.math.BigInteger;

Set<String> set = new HashSet<>();
set.add("apple");
set.add("banana");
set.add("orange");

BigInteger size = BigInteger.valueOf(set.size());

System.out.println("The size of the set is " + size);

In this example, the size() method is used to get the size of the set as an int value, which is then converted to a BigInteger object using the valueOf() method. The BigInteger object is then stored in the size variable and printed to the console.
