Submitted by Nidhi, on May 23, 2022

Problem statement

In this program, we will create a Vector collection with string elements. Then we will get the index of the last occurrence of the specified item in Vector collection using the lastIndexOf() method.

Source Code

The source code to get the index of the last occurrence of a specified item in Vector collection is given below. The given program is compiled and executed successfully.

// Java program to get the Index of the last occurrence of 
// the specified item in Vector collection

import java.util.*;

public class Main {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    Vector < String > vec = new Vector < String > ();

    vec.add("CAR");
    vec.add("BUS");
    vec.add("BIKE");
    vec.add("BUS");
    vec.add("TRUCK");

    System.out.println("Index of last occurrence of item 'BUS' is: " + vec.lastIndexOf("BUS"));
    System.out.println("Index of last occurrence of item 'TRAIN' is: " + vec.lastIndexOf("TRAIN"));
  }
}

Output

Index of last occurrence of item 'BUS' is: 3
Index of last occurrence of item 'TRAIN' is: -1

Explanation

In the above program, we imported the "java.util.*" package to use the Vector class. Here, we created a public class Main.

The Main class contains a main() method. The main() method is the entry point for the program. And, created Vector collections vec and add elements to it. Then we get the index of the last occurrence of the specified item in Vector collection using the lastIndexOf() method and printed the result.

The lastIndexOf() method returns the index of the first occurrence of the specified item, otherwise, it returns -1.
