Remove all the strings in an array list containing certain characters

Question

so i have an array list that contains strings such as:

ArrayList<String> list = new ArrayList<>();
list.add("bookshelf");
list.add("bookstore");
list.add("library");
list.add("pencil");

Now i wanna search and remove all the strings in the arraylist that contain the word "book" in them. As far as i understand list.remove("book"); will only search for the particular string "book" and not the strings that contain the word "book". How can i solve this?

Answer 1

You can use removeIf like this:

list.removeIf(s -> s.contains("book"));
