Java Compare Two Lists

Question

I have two lists ( not java lists, you can say two columns)

For example

**List 1**            **Lists 2**
  milan                 hafil
  dingo               


        

Answer 1

Assuming hash1 and hash2

List< String > sames = whatever
List< String > diffs = whatever

int count = 0;
for( String key : hash1.keySet() )
{
   if( hash2.containsKey( key ) ) 
   {
      sames.add( key );
   }
   else
   {
      diffs.add( key );
   }
}

//sames.size() contains the number of similar elements.
