SetOperations

Instructions

Create a file SetOperations.java.

Write two functions:

Write a function union that takes two sets of integers as parameters and returns a new set that contains all the distinct elements from both sets.

Write a function intersection that Takes two sets of integers as parameters and returns a new set that contains the common elements present in both sets.

Expected Functions

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

public class SetOperations {
    public static Set<Integer> union(Set<Integer> set1, Set<Integer> set2) {
        // your code here
    }

    public static Set<Integer> intersection(Set<Integer> set1, Set<Integer> set2) {
        // your code here
    }
}

Usage

Here is a possible ExerciseRunner.java to test your functions:

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

public class ExerciseRunner {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Set<Integer> set1 = new HashSet<>();
        set1.add(1);
        set1.add(2);
        set1.add(3);

        Set<Integer> set2 = new HashSet<>();
        set2.add(2);
        set2.add(3);
        set2.add(4);

        Set<Integer> unionSet = SetOperations.union(set1, set2);
        System.out.println(unionSet); // Expected Output: [1, 2, 3, 4]

        Set<Integer> intersectionSet = SetOperations.intersection(set1, set2);
        System.out.println(intersectionSet); // Expected Output: [2, 3]
    }
}

and its output :

$ javac *.java -d build
$ java -cp build ExerciseRunner
[1, 2, 3, 4]
[2, 3]
$
