Answer 1

Create a HashSet<String> and put all your URLs there. After you have added the last URL you will be having only unique set in your HashSet.

import java.util.*;
// .. some other imports here
public static void main(String[] args) {
 // Storing Url in the String variable
 String url = "Target URL ";
 // Launch
 driver.get(url);
 // List Of URL
 List<WebElement> links = driver.findElements(By.tagName("a"));
 System.out.println("Total Count:" + links.size());
 // Create hashset
 HashSet<String> uniqueURLs = new HashSet<String>();
 // Add all your elements to hashset
 for(WebElement link: links){
 uniqueURLs.add(link.getAttribute("href"));
 }
 for (String urlUniqueItem: new ArrayList<String>(uniqueURLs)) {
 System.out.println(urlUniqueItem);
 }
}

HashSet do not store object duplicates so that you can be sure after you have added all the objects there would no be duplicates.

• Sayali Joglekar: It's giving an error at line HashSet
• Alexey R.: Which error are you getting?
• Sayali Joglekar: HashSet cannot be resolved to a type
• Alexey R.: Import it from java.util package
• Sayali Joglekar: uniqueURLs.add(link.getAttribute("href"));Exception in thread "main" java.lang.Error: Unresolved compilation problems: The method add(String) is undefined for the type HashSet<String> The method iterator() is undefined for the type HashSet<String>
