Basic HashSet Operations
Easy
Problem Description
Basic HashSet Operations
In this problem: You will create a program using HashSet from the collections framework to add elements, check for duplicates, and get the size.
Learning Objective: Understand basic HashSet operations (add, contains, size) and duplicate elimination behavior
Overview
HashSet is a collection that does not allow duplicates. Adding the same element multiple times keeps only one copy. add() returns true if the element was added, false if it already exists.
Specifications
- Create a HashSet
- Add "Apple", "Banana", "Cherry", "Apple" (duplicate)
- Print the return value of each add()
- Print final size and check for "Apple" existence
Output Format
Added Apple: true
Added Banana: true
Added Cherry: true
Added Apple again: false
Size: 3
Contains Apple: true
Contains Grape: false
