  • remove(int index)

    The java.util.vector.remove(int index) method is used to remove an element from a Vector from a specific position or index. Syntax: 
    Vector.remove(int index)
    Parameters: This method accepts a mandatory parameter index is of integer data type and specifies the position of the element to be removed from the Vector. Return Value: This method returns the element that has just been removed from the vector. Below program illustrate the Java.util.Vector.remove(int index) method: Java 
    // Java code to illustrate remove() when position of
// element is passed as parameter
import java.util.*;

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

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

        // Use add() method to add elements in the Vector
        vec_tor.add("Geeks");
        vec_tor.add("for");
        vec_tor.add("Geeks");
        vec_tor.add("10");
        vec_tor.add("20");

        // Output the Vector
        System.out.println("Vector: " + vec_tor);

        // Remove the element using remove()
        String rem_ele = vec_tor.remove(4);

        // Print the removed element
        System.out.println("Removed element: " + rem_ele);

        // Print the final Vector
        System.out.println("Final Vector: " + vec_tor);
    }
}
    Output: 
    Vector: [Geeks, for, Geeks, 10, 20]
Removed element: 20
Final Vector: [Geeks, for, Geeks, 10]

  • remove(Object o)

    The java.util.vector.remove(Object o) method is used to remove any particular element from the Vector. Syntax: 
    Vector.remove(Object o)
    Parameters: This method accepts a mandatory parameter o is of the object type of Vector and specifies the element to be removed from the Vector. Return Value: Returns True if the specified element is found and removed from the Vector, else False. Below program illustrate the Java.util.Vector.remove(Object O) method: Java 
    // Java code to illustrate remove() method
import java.util.*;

public class VectorDemo {
    public static void main(String args[])
    {
        // Creating an empty Vector
        Vector<String> vec_tor = new Vector<String>();

        // Use add() method to add elements in the Vector
        vec_tor.add("Geeks");
        vec_tor.add("for");
        vec_tor.add("Geeks");
        vec_tor.add("10");
        vec_tor.add("20");

        // Output the Vector
        System.out.println("Vector: " + vec_tor);

        // Remove the head using remove()
        Boolean rem_ele;

        rem_ele = vec_tor.remove("Geeks");
        // Print the removed element
        if (rem_ele)
            System.out.println("Geeks"
                               + " found and removed.");
        else
            System.out.println("Geeks"
                               + " not found or removed.");

        rem_ele = vec_tor.remove("500");
        // Print the removed element
        if (rem_ele)
            System.out.println("500"
                               + " found and removed.");
        else
            System.out.println("500"
                               + " not found or removed.");

        // Print the final Vector
        System.out.println("Final Vector: " + vec_tor);
    }
}
    Output: 
    Vector: [Geeks, for, Geeks, 10, 20]
Geeks found and removed.
500 not found or removed.
Final Vector: [for, Geeks, 10, 20]
