Vector get() Method in Java

The java.util.vector.get() method is used to fetch or retrieve an element at a specific index from a Vector. 

Syntax:

Vector.get(int index)

Parameters: This method accepts a mandatory parameter index which is of integer data type. It specifies the position or index of the element to be fetched from the Vector. 

Return Value: The method returns the element present at the position specified by the parameter index. 

Below programs illustrate the Java.util.Vector.get() method: 

Program 1

Java




// Java code to illustrate get() 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");
 
        // Displaying the Vector
        System.out.println("Vector: " + vec_tor);
 
        // Fetching the specific element from the Vector
        System.out.println("The element is: "
                           + vec_tor.get(2));
    }
}


Output:

Vector: [Geeks, for, Geeks, 10, 20]
The element is: Geeks

Program 2

Java




// Java code to illustrate get() method
import java.util.Vector;
 
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("1");
        vec_tor.add("2");
        vec_tor.add("3");
        vec_tor.add("10");
        vec_tor.add("20");
 
        // Displaying the Vector
        System.out.println("Vector: "
                           + vec_tor);
 
        // Fetching the specific element from the Vector
        System.out.println("The element is: "
                           + vec_tor.get(4));
    }
}


Output:

Vector: [1, 2, 3, 10, 20]
The element is: 20

Time complexity: O(n), // n is the number of elements in the vector.
Auxiliary space: O(n)
