Check if a String is in an ArrayList of Strings

Question

How can I check if a String is there in the List?

I want to assign 1 to temp if there is a result, 2

Answer 1

temp = bankAccNos.contains(no) ? 1 : 2;

Answer 2

The List interface already has this solved.

int temp = 2;
if(bankAccNos.contains(bakAccNo)) temp=1;

More can be found in the documentation about List.

Answer 3

    List list1 = new ArrayList();
    list1.add("one");
    list1.add("three");
    list1.add("four");

    List list2 = new ArrayList();
    list2.add("one");
    list2.add("two");
    list2.add("three");
    list2.add("four");
    list2.add("five");


    list2.stream().filter( x -> !list1.contains(x) ).forEach(x -> System.out.println(x));

The output is:

two
five
