Set Overview

HashSet class

contains unique elements only.
Difference between List and Set:

List can contain duplicate elements whereas Set contains unique elements only. It makes no guarantees about the sequence of the elements when you iterate them.

LinkedHashSet differs from HashSet by guaranteeing that the order of the elements during iteration is the same as the order they were inserted into the LinkedHashSet. Reinserting an element that is already in the LinkedHashSet does not change this order.

TreeSet also guarantees the order of the elements when iterated, but the order is the sorting order of the elements. In other words, the order in which the elements whould be sorted if you used a Collections.sort() on a List or array containing these elements. This order is determined either by their natural order (if they implement Comparable), or by a specific Comparator implementation.
