9. 19. 19. The HashSet class defines equality through its equals() method: public boolean equals(Object o)

A HashSet is equal to another object if the other object implements the Set interface, has the same size(), and contains all the same elements.

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

public class MainClass {

  public static void main(String[] a) {
    String elements[] "A""B""C""D""E" };
    Set set = new HashSet(Arrays.asList(elements));

    elements = new String[] { "A""B""C""D" };
    Set set2 = new HashSet(Arrays.asList(elements));

    System.out.println(set.equals(set2));
  }
}
false
