This is an example of how to obtain a Vector Enumeration in Java.
Obtaining a Vector Enumeration implies that you should:
- Create a new Vector.
- Populate the vector with elements, with
add(E e)API method of Vector. - Invoke
elements()API method of Vector to get an Enumeration of the Vector’s elements. - Enumerate through the elements of an Enumeration, with
hasMoreElements(),nextElement()methods of Enumeration.
Let’s take a look at the code snippet that follows:
package com.javacodegeeks.snippets.core;
import java.util.Vector;
import java.util.Enumeration;
public class VectorEnumeration {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// Create a Vector and populate it with elements
Vector vector = new Vector();
vector.add("element_1");
vector.add("element_3");
vector.add("element_5");
vector.add("element_2");
vector.add("element_4");
// elements() method returns an Enumeration of Vector's elements
Enumeration vectorElementsEnum = vector.elements();
/*
To enumerate through the elements of an Enumeration we can use the
boolean hasMoreElements() and Object nextElement() methods. The
first one returns true if there are more elements to enumerate through
otherwise it returns false. The second returns the next element in enumeration.
*/
System.out.println("Vector elements : ");
while(vectorElementsEnum.hasMoreElements())
System.out.println(vectorElementsEnum.nextElement());
}
}
Output:
Vector elements :
element_1
element_3
element_5
element_2
element_4
