Last Updated : 26 Nov, 2018

The remove(Object O) method of Java AbstractCollection is to remove a particular element from a Collection.Syntax:

AbstractCollection.remove(Object O)

Parameters: The parameter O is of the type of Collection and specifies the element to be removed from the collection.Return Value: This method returns True if the element specified in the parameter is initially present in the collection and is successfully removed otherwise it returns False. Below program illustrate the Java.util.AbstractCollection.remove() method:Program 1:

Java `

// Java code to illustrate remove()

import java.util.*; import java.util.AbstractCollection;

public class AbstractCollectionDemo { public static void main(String args[]) {

    // Creating an empty AbstractCollection
    AbstractCollection<String>
        abs = new TreeSet<String>();

    // Use add() method to add
    // elements into the Collection
    abs.add("Welcome");
    abs.add("To");
    abs.add("Geeks");
    abs.add("4");
    abs.add("Geeks");
    abs.add("TreeSet");

    // Displaying the Collection
    System.out.println("Collection: " + abs);

    // Removing elements using remove() method
    abs.remove("Geeks");
    abs.remove("4");
    abs.remove("TreeSet");

    // Displaying the Collection after removal
    System.out.println("New Collection: " + abs);
}

}

`

Output:

Collection: [4, Geeks, To, TreeSet, Welcome] New Collection: [To, Welcome]

Program 2:

Java `

// Java code to illustrate remove()

import java.util.*; import java.util.AbstractCollection;

public class AbstractCollectionDemo { public static void main(String args[]) {

    // Creating an empty AbstractCollection
    AbstractCollection<String>
        abs = new LinkedList<String>();

    // Use add() method to add
    // elements into the Collection
    abs.add("Welcome");
    abs.add("To");
    abs.add("Geeks");
    abs.add("4");
    abs.add("Geeks");
    abs.add("LinkedList");

    // Displaying the Collection
    System.out.println("Collection: " + abs);

    // Removing elements using remove() method
    abs.remove("Geeks");
    abs.remove("4");
    abs.remove("LinkedList");

    // Displaying the Collection after removal
    System.out.println("New Collection: " + abs);
}

}

`

Output:

Collection: [Welcome, To, Geeks, 4, Geeks, LinkedList] New Collection: [Welcome, To, Geeks]
