I have a list of countries where the product is available. I am looking for the code to check whether any duplicate value exists in the list of countries.
They are giving like this: AZ,CA,GB, AU,AR,AT,MX,NL,NZ. How do I check in Selenium if a duplicate value exists with a loop?
As others have pointed out, this has very little to do with Selenium, other than where your values come from.
I will assume that your list of countries comes from a pulldown menu. If not you will need to adjust the code below to match.
import java.util.*;
...
Select slctCountry = new Select(driver.findElement(By.id("select_id")));
// create an empty List
List<String> optionsList = new ArrayList<String>();
// a Set naturally removes duplicates!
Set<String> optionsSet = Collections.emptySet();
for (WebElement option : slctCountry.getOptions()) {
// fill both from the same source
optionsList.add(option.getText());
optionsSet.add(option.getText());
}
// compare the two
Assert.assertEquals("The List contains duplicates!", optionsSet.size(), optionsList.size());
A modified version of this. If the array of String contains duplicates it will simply return true.
String[] array = {"a", "b", "c", "a", "b"};
ArrayList<String> str = new ArrayList<String>();
for (String s:array){
str.add(s);
}
boolean ind = false;
for (int i = 0; i < array.length; i++) {
str.remove(array[i]);
for (int j = 0; j < str.size(); j++) {
if (array[j].equals(str.get(j))){
System.out.println(str.get(j) +" "+ array[j] );
ind = true;
}
}
}
Note:This probably has nothing to do with Selenium, at least the way you showed in the question.
