    Java - Two Collections. The same elements or have no elements in common

    Two methods are needed in this case.
    Code:
    boolean containsAll(Collection<?> c)
boolean disjoint(Collection<?>c1 Collection<?>c2)
    Since [i]containsAll(Collection<?> c)[i] is defined within the Collection interface all concrete implementations will be able to use this method. disjoint(Collection<?>c1 Collection<?>c2) is defined within the Collections class.

    Using both of these methods is pretty straight forward. containsAll(Collection<?> c) is an instance method so naturally it must be invoked on an object. disjoint(Collection<?>c1 Collection<?>c2) is defined as Static within the Collections class so all that is needed is to invoke it using the class name ie Collections.disjoint(Collection<?>c1 Collection<?>c2).
