CopyOnWriteArrayList indexOf() method in Java

0 1 2 minutes read

The indexOf(Object o) method of CopyOnWriteArrayList returns the first occurrence of the element passed in the list. It returns -1 if the element is not present in the list.

Syntax:

public int indexOf(Object o)

Parameters: The function accepts a parameter o whose first occurrence is to be returned.

Return Value: The function returns the first occurrence of the element. It returns -1 if the element is not present in the list.

Below programs illustrate the above function:

Program 1:

Java

// Java Program to illustrate the CopyOnWriteArrayList
// indexOf() method in Java
import java.util.concurrent.CopyOnWriteArrayList;
import java.util.*;
 
public class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
 
        // create object of CopyOnWriteArrayList
        CopyOnWriteArrayList<Integer> ArrLis
            = new CopyOnWriteArrayList<Integer>();
 
        // Add elements
        ArrLis.add(32);
        ArrLis.add(67);
        ArrLis.add(67);
        ArrLis.add(100);
 
        // print CopyOnWriteArrayList
        System.out.println("CopyOnWriteArrayList: " + ArrLis);
 
        // first occurrence of 67
        System.out.println("indexOf value: " + ArrLis.indexOf(67));
    }
}

Output:

CopyOnWriteArrayList: [32, 67, 67, 100]
indexOf value: 1

Program 2:

Java

// Java Program to illustrate the CopyOnWriteArrayList
// indexOf() method in Java
import java.util.concurrent.CopyOnWriteArrayList;
import java.util.*;
 
public class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
 
        // create object of CopyOnWriteArrayList
        CopyOnWriteArrayList<Integer> ArrLis
            = new CopyOnWriteArrayList<Integer>();
 
        // Add elements
        ArrLis.add(32);
        ArrLis.add(67);
        ArrLis.add(67);
        ArrLis.add(100);
 
        // print CopyOnWriteArrayList
        System.out.println("CopyOnWriteArrayList: "
                                         + ArrLis);
 
        // 200 is not present
        System.out.println("indexOf value: "
                         + ArrLis.indexOf(200));
    }
}

Output:

CopyOnWriteArrayList: [32, 67, 67, 100]
indexOf value: -1

The indexOf(E e, int index) method of CopyOnWriteArrayList returns the first occurrence of the element passed in the list after position index. It returns -1 if the element is not present in the list.

Syntax:

public int indexOf(E e, int index)

Parameters: The function accepts two parameters which are described below:
- index: specifies the index from which the occurrence is to be searched.
- e: specifies the element whose first occurrence from position index is to be returned.

Return Value: The function returns the first occurrence of the element after position index. It returns -1 if the element is not present in the list.

Exceptions: The function throws an IndexOutOfBoundsException if the specified index is negative.

Below programs illustrate the above function:

Program 1:

Java

// Java Program to illustrate the CopyOnWriteArrayList
// indexOf() method in Java
import java.util.concurrent.CopyOnWriteArrayList;
import java.util.*;
 
public class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
 
        // create object of CopyOnWriteArrayList
        CopyOnWriteArrayList<Integer> ArrLis
            = new CopyOnWriteArrayList<Integer>();
 
        // Add elements
        ArrLis.add(32);
        ArrLis.add(67);
        ArrLis.add(67);
        ArrLis.add(67);
 
        // print CopyOnWriteArrayList
        System.out.println("CopyOnWriteArrayList: "
                                        + ArrLis);
 
        // first occurrence of 67 from 2nd index
        System.out.println("indexOf value: "
                        + ArrLis.indexOf(67, 2));
    }
}

Output:

CopyOnWriteArrayList: [32, 67, 67, 67]
indexOf value: 2

Program 2:

Java

// Java Program to illustrate the CopyOnWriteArrayList
// indexOf() method in Java
import java.util.concurrent.CopyOnWriteArrayList;
import java.util.*;
 
public class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
 
        // create object of CopyOnWriteArrayList
        CopyOnWriteArrayList<Integer> ArrLis
            = new CopyOnWriteArrayList<Integer>();
 
        // Add elements
        ArrLis.add(32);
        ArrLis.add(67);
        ArrLis.add(67);
        ArrLis.add(100);
 
        // print CopyOnWriteArrayList
        System.out.println("CopyOnWriteArrayList: "
                                        + ArrLis);
 
        // -1 is out of range, hence exception
        System.out.println("indexOf value: "
                    + ArrLis.indexOf(-1, 200));
    }
}

Output:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: -1
