In Java, the elementAt() method is used to fetch or retrieve an element at a specific index from a Vector. It allows to access elements in the vector by providing the index, which is zero-based.

Example 1: Here, we use the elementAt() method to retrieve an element at a specified index with an Integer type.

Java 
// Java program to Demonstrate the 
// use of elementAt() with Integer type
import java.util.Vector;

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

        // Creating an empty Vector
        Vector<Integer> v = new Vector<>();

        // Use add() method to 
        // add elements in the Vector
        v.add(10);
        v.add(20);
        v.add(30);
        v.add(40);
        v.add(50);

        System.out.println(" " + v);

        // Fetching the specific element from the Vector
        System.out.println(" The element is: "
                           + v.elementAt(3));
    }
}

Output
 [10, 20, 30, 40, 50]
 The element is: 40

Syntax of Vector element() Method

public E elementAt(int index)

  • Parameter: index: It specifies the position of the element we want to retrieve.
  • Return Type: It returns the element present at the position specified.

Example 2: Here, we use the elementAt() method to retrieve an element at a specified index with String type.

Java 
// Java program to Demonstrate the use of elementAt() with String type
import java.util.Vector;

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

        // Creating an empty Vector
        Vector<String> v = new Vector<>();

        // Use add() method to 
        // add elements in the Vector
        v.add("Geeks");
        v.add("for");
        v.add("Geeks");

        System.out.println(" " + v);

        // Fetching the specific element from the Vector
        System.out.println(" The element is: "
                           + v.elementAt(1));
    }
}

Output
 [Geeks, for, Geeks]
 The element is: for
