在标准Java库中,找出两个list是否包含完全相同的元素的最简单方法是什么?

这两个list是否为相同实例并不重要,这两个list的类型参数是否不同也不重要。

e.g.

List list1
List<String> list2; 
// ... construct etc

list1.add("A");
list2.add("A"); 
// the function, given these two lists, should return true

我知道可能有什么东西在盯着我的脸:-)


编辑:为了澄清,我正在寻找完全相同的元素和元素的数量,按顺序。


当前回答

list1.equals(list2);

如果列表包含自定义类MyClass,则该类必须重写equals函数。

 class MyClass
  {
  int field=0;
  @0verride
  public boolean equals(Object other)
        {
        if(this==other) return true;
        if(other==null || !(other instanceof MyClass)) return false;
        return this.field== MyClass.class.cast(other).field;
        }
  }

注意:如果你想在java.util. set而不是java.util. set上测试equals。列表,则对象必须覆盖hashCode函数。

示例代码:

public static '<'T'>' boolean isListDifferent(List'<'T'>' previousList,
        List'<'T'>' newList) {

    int sizePrevoisList = -1;
    int sizeNewList = -1;

    if (previousList != null && !previousList.isEmpty()) {
        sizePrevoisList = previousList.size();
    }
    if (newList != null && !newList.isEmpty()) {
        sizeNewList = newList.size();
    }

    if ((sizePrevoisList == -1) && (sizeNewList == -1)) {
        return false;
    }

    if (sizeNewList != sizePrevoisList) {
        return true;
    }

    List n_prevois = new ArrayList(previousList);
    List n_new = new ArrayList(newList);

    try {
        Collections.sort(n_prevois);
        Collections.sort(n_new);
    } catch (ClassCastException exp) {
        return true;
    }

    for (int i = 0; i < sizeNewList; i++) {
        Object obj_prevois = n_prevois.get(i);
        Object obj_new = n_new.get(i);
        if (obj_new.equals(obj_prevois)) {
            // Object are same
        } else {
            return true;
        }
    }

    return false;
}

你可以使用Apache的org.apache.commons.collections库: http://commons.apache.org/collections/apidocs/org/apache/commons/collections/ListUtils.html

public static boolean isEqualList(java.util.Collection list1,
                              java.util.Collection list2)

我的解决方案适用于不关心列表中的顺序的情况——换句话说:具有相同元素但顺序不同的列表将被认为具有相同的内容。

示例:["word1", "word2"]和["word2", "word1"]被认为内容相同。

我已经谈到了订购,我还需要说一些关于副本的事情。列表需要具有相同数量的元素才能被认为是相等的。

例如:["word1"]和["word1", "word1"]被认为不具有相同的内容。

我的解决方案:

public class ListUtil {

    public static <T> boolean hasSameContents(List<T> firstList, List<T> secondList) {      
        if (firstList == secondList) { // same object
            return true;
        }
        if (firstList != null && secondList != null) {
            if (firstList.isEmpty() && secondList.isEmpty()) {
                return true;
            }
            if (firstList.size() != secondList.size()) {
                return false;
            }
            List<T> tmpSecondList = new ArrayList<>(secondList);
            Object currFirstObject = null;
            for (int i=1 ; i<=firstList.size() ; i++) {
                currFirstObject = firstList.get(i-1);
                boolean removed = tmpSecondList.remove(currFirstObject);
                if (!removed) {
                    return false;
                }
                if (i != firstList.size()) { // Not the last element
                    if (tmpSecondList.isEmpty()) {
                        return false;
                    }
                }
            }
            if (tmpSecondList.isEmpty()) {
                return true;
            }
        }
        return false;
    }
}

我用Strings进行了测试,如下所示:

@Test public void testHasSameContents() throws Exception { // comparing with same list => no duplicate elements Assert.isTrue(ListUtil.hasSameContents(List.of("one", "two", "three"), List.of("one", "two", "three"))); // comparing with same list => duplicate elements Assert.isTrue(ListUtil.hasSameContents(List.of("one", "two", "three", "one"), List.of("one", "two", "three", "one"))); // compare with disordered list => no duplicate elements Assert.isTrue(ListUtil.hasSameContents(List.of("one", "two", "three"), List.of("three", "two", "one"))); // compare with disordered list => duplicate elements Assert.isTrue(ListUtil.hasSameContents(List.of("one", "two", "three", "one"), List.of("three", "two", "one", "one"))); // comparing with different list => same size, no duplicate elements Assert.isFalse(ListUtil.hasSameContents(List.of("one", "two", "three"), List.of("four", "five", "six"))); // comparing with different list => same size, duplicate elements Assert.isFalse(ListUtil.hasSameContents(List.of("one", "two", "two"), List.of("one", "two", "three"))); Assert.isFalse(ListUtil.hasSameContents(List.of("one", "two", "three"), List.of("one", "two", "two"))); // comparing with different list => different size, no duplicate elements Assert.isFalse(ListUtil.hasSameContents(List.of("one", "two", "three", "four"), List.of("one", "two", "three"))); Assert.isFalse(ListUtil.hasSameContents(List.of("one", "two", "three"), List.of("one", "two", "three", "four"))); // comparing with different list => different sizes, duplicate elements Assert.isFalse(ListUtil.hasSameContents(List.of("one", "two", "three", "one"), List.of("one", "two", "three"))); Assert.isFalse(ListUtil.hasSameContents(List.of("one", "two", "three"), List.of("one", "two", "three", "one"))); }

如果您正在使用(或乐于使用)Apache Commons Collections,您可以使用CollectionUtils。isEqualCollection“如果给定集合包含完全相同的元素和完全相同的基数,则返回true。”

!集合。disjoint(Collection1, Collection2)如果它们有相同的元素,则返回true
