Re: Stack/Queue-like collection that contains no duplicates

I'm looking for the collection with following properties.
- Contains no duplicate elements
- Has push/pop (offer/poll) like methods
- Insertion order does not matter
The best I could find was TreeSet but it maintains ordering which
produced log(n) overhead for add/remove operations. As far as this is
not that critical for me I'll eventually use TreeSet, but perhaps
someone knows some other collection that does not maintain order of
elements and at the same time has all those characteristics I've
listed above?
Took me 20 minutes:
