SortedSet contains() method in Java with Examples

Last Updated : 12 Jul, 2025

The contains() method is used to check whether a specific element is present in the SortedSet or not. So basically it is used to check if a SortedSet contains any particular element.

Syntax:  

boolean contains(Object element)

Parameters: The parameter element is of the type of SortedSet. This is the element that needs to be tested if it is present in the set or not.

Return Value: The method returns true if the element is present in the set else return False.

Note: The contains() method in SortedSet is inherited from the Set interface in Java.

Below program illustrate the Java.util.Set.contains() method: 


Output: 
Set: [4, Geeks, To, Welcome]
Does the Set contains 'Geeks'? true
Does the Set contains '4'? true
Does the Set contains 'No'? false
