Submitted by Nidhi, on May 24, 2022

Problem statement

In this program, we will create a Vector collection with string elements. Then we will remove the first occurrence of the specified element from vector collection using the removeElement() method.

Source Code

The source code to remove the first occurrence of the specified element from the Vector collection is given below. The given program is compiled and executed successfully.

// Java program to remove the first occurrence of the 
// specified element from 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("Vector elements: " + vec);

    vec.removeElement("BUS");
    System.out.println("Vector elements: " + vec);
  }
}

Output

Vector elements: [CAR, BUS, BIKE, BUS, TRUCK]
Vector elements: [CAR, BIKE, BUS, TRUCK]

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 a Vector collection vec with string elements. Then we used the removeElement() method to remove the first occurrence of "BUS" from vector vec and printed the updated collection.
