    HashSet < String > cities = new HashSet();

    cities.add("MUMBAI");
    cities.add("NEW-DELHI");
    cities.add("AGRA");
    cities.add("INDORE");

    System.out.println("Cities are: \n" + cities);
  }
}

[MUMBAI, AGRA, NEW-DELHI, INDORE]

Explanation

In the above program, we imported the "java.util.*" package to use the HashSet collection. Here, we created a public class Main that contains a main() method.

The main() method is the entry point for the program. And, we created a set to store the name of cities using the HashSet collection and printed the created collection.
