Hi,
Can anyone help me out with this ?
Which of these methods from the Collection interface return the value true if the collection object was actually modified by the call?
a. add()
b. retainAll()
c. containsAll()
d. contains()
e. remove()

Thx in advance.
Aruna

answer: add(), retain(), retainAll(), and remove()
although contains() and containsAll() also return a boolean value, the point to remember here is that the question asks for methods that return true AFTER modification
