Vector Class addAll() method

Syntax:

    public boolean addAll(Collection co);
    public boolean addAll(int indices, Collection co);

addAll() method is available in java.util package.
addAll(Collection co) method is used to append all of the objects that exist in the given collection (co) at the last of this List.
addAll(int indices, Collection co) method is used to append all of the objects that exist in the given collection (co) into this vector and the element insertion starts at the given indices.
These methods may throw an exception at the time of adding an element.
- IndexOutOfBoundsException: This exception may throw when the given parameter is not in a range.
- NullPointerException: This exception may throw when the given parameter is null exists.
These are non-static methods and it is accessible with class objects and if we try to access these methods with the class name then we will get an error.

Parameter(s):

In the first case, addAll(Collection co),
Collection co – represents the collection of elements to be appended.
In the first case, addAll(int indices, Collection co),
- int indices – represents the position of starting element to insert from the given collection.
- Collection co – represents the collection of elements to be appended.

Return value:

In both the cases, the return type of the method is boolean,

In the first case, it returns true when all of the objects are appended in the given collection to the end of the list otherwise it returns false.
In the second case, it returns true when all of the objects are to be appended in the given collection at the given indices successfully otherwise it returns false.

Example:

// Java program to demonstrate the example 
// of addAll() method of Vector

import java.util.*;

public class AddAllOfVector {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // Instantiates a vector object     
        Vector < String > v = new Vector < String > (10);
        ArrayList arr_l = new ArrayList(10);

        // By using add() method is to add
        // the elements in vector
        v.add("C");
        v.add("C++");
        v.add("SFDC");
        v.add("JAVA");

        // By using add() method is to add
        // the elements in arr_l
        arr_l.add("SQL");
        arr_l.add("DBMS");

        //Display Vector and ArrayList
        System.out.println("v: " + v);
        System.out.println("arr_l: " + arr_l);

        // By using addAll(arr_l) method is used
        // to add all the given objects exists in
        // the given collection will be appended 
        // to this vector at the last
        v.addAll(arr_l);

        // Display Vector
        System.out.println("v.addAll(arr_l): " + v);

        // By using addAll(arr_l,2) method is used
        // to add all the given objects exists in
        // the given collection will be appended 
        // to this vector at the given indices

        v.addAll(2, arr_l);

        // Display Vector
        System.out.println("v.addAll(2,arr_l,): " + v);
    }
}

Output

v: [C, C++, SFDC, JAVA]
arr_l: [SQL, DBMS]
v.addAll(arr_l): [C, C++, SFDC, JAVA, SQL, DBMS]
v.addAll(2,arr_l,): [C, C++, SQL, DBMS, SFDC, JAVA, SQL, DBMS]
