Methods with different signatures that return the intersection of two sets (Java)
I have created a method that returns the intersection of two sets of values. The thing is, I want to use a different signature that only uses one arrayList method inside the method, not all of them.
public class Group <T>
{
ArrayList<T> w = new ArrayList<T>();
//Here I have the add and remove methods and a method that returns
//false if the item is not in the set and true if it is in the set
public static ArrayList intersection(Group A, Group B)
{
ArrayList list = new ArrayList();
ArrayList first = (ArrayList) A.w.clone();
ArrayList second = (ArrayList) B.w.clone();
for (int i = 0; i < A.w.size(); i++)
{
if (second.contains(A.w.get(i)))
{
list.add(A.w.get(i));
second.remove(A.w.get(i));
first.remove(A.w.get(i));
}
}
return list;
}
}
This is a different method with a different signature. How can I get this method to return the intersection of the two sets if the signature is different from the method shown above?
public class Group <T>
{
ArrayList<T> w = new ArrayList<T>();
public static <T> Group<T> intersection(Group <T> A, Group <T> B)
{
Group<T> k= new Group<T>();
return k;
}
}
public class Main
{
public static void main(String [] args)
{
Group<Integer> a1 = new Group<Integer>();
Group<Integer> b1 = new Group<Integer>();
Group<Integer> a1b1 = new Group<Integer>();
//Here I have more codes for input/output
}
}
