How to Replace a Element in Java ArrayList?

To replace an element in Java ArrayList, set() method of java.util. An ArrayList class can be used. The set() method takes two parameters-the indexes of the element which has to be replaced and the new element. The index of an ArrayList is zero-based. So, to replace the first element, 0 should be the index passed as a parameter.

Declaration:

public Object set(int index, Object element)

Return Value: The element which is at the specified index

Exception Throws: IndexOutOfBoundsException
This occurs when the index is out of range.

index < 0 or index >= size()

Implementation:



Here we will be proposing out 2 examples wherein one of them we will be setting the index within bound and in the other, we will be setting the index out of bounds.

Example 1: Where Index is Within Bound




// Java program to demonstrate set() Method of ArrayList
// Where Index is Within Bound
// Importing required classes
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
// Main class
class GFG {
// Main driver method
public static void main(String[] args) {
// Try block to check for exceptions
try {
// Creating an object of Arraylist class
ArrayList list = new ArrayList<>();
// Adding elements to the List
// using add() method
// Custom input elements
list.add("A");
list.add("B");
list.add("C");
list.add("D");
// Print all the elements added in the above object
System.out.println(list);
// 2 is the index of the element "C".
//"C" will be replaced by "E"
list.set(2, "E");
// Printing the newly updated List
System.out.println(list);
}
// Catch block to handle the exceptions
catch (Exception e) {
// Display the exception on the console
System.out.println(e);
}
}
}
Output [A, B, C, D] [A, B, E, D]

Example 2: Where Index is Out of Bound




// Java program to demonstrate set() Method of ArrayList
// Where Index is Out of Bound
// Importing required classes
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
// Main class
class GFG {
// Main driver method
public static void main(String[] args) {
// Try block to check for exceptions
try {
// Creating an object of Arraylist class
ArrayList list = new ArrayList<>();
// Adding elements to the List
// using add() method
// Custom input elements
list.add("A");
list.add("B");å
list.add("C");
list.add("D");
// Print all the elements added in the above object
System.out.println(list);
// Settijg the element at the 6 th index which
// does not exist in our input list object
list.set(6);
// Printing the newly updated List
System.out.println(list);
}
// Catch block to handle the exceptions
catch (Exception e) {
// Display the exception on the console
System.out.println(e);
}
}
}
