How come Java’s TreeSet has no get() method?

What would you expect a get() method on a Set to do?

• Sets are not indexed, so a get(int index) makes no sense. (Use a List if you want to get elements by index).
• get(Object obj) would also not make sense, because you’d have the object that you’re trying to get already.
• There is already a contains() method to check if a Set contains an object.
• You can iterate over a Set if you want to do something with all elements in the set.
