JAVA EXAMPLES FIND COMMON ELEMENTS FROM ARRAY

Java Examples - Find common elements from arrays

Problem Description:
How to find common elements from arrays?
Solution:
Following example shows how to find common elements from two arrays and store them in an array.
import java.util.ArrayList;

public class Main {
   public static void main(String[] args)  {
      ArrayList objArray = new ArrayList();
      ArrayList objArray2 = new ArrayList();
      objArray2.add(0,"common1");
      objArray2.add(1,"common2");
      objArray2.add(2,"notcommon");
      objArray2.add(3,"notcommon1");
      objArray.add(0,"common1");
      objArray.add(1,"common2");
      objArray.add(2,"notcommon2");
      System.out.println("Array elements of array1"+objArray);
      System.out.println("Array elements of array2"+objArray2);
      objArray.retainAll(objArray2);
      System.out.println("Array1 after retaining common 
      elements of array2 & array1"+objArray);
   }
}
Result:
The above code sample will produce the following result.
Array elements of array1[common1, common2, notcommon2]
Array elements of array2[common1, common2, notcommon,
notcommon1]
Array1 after retaining common elements of array2 & array1
[common1, common2]
