Below code snippet shows how to loop a Map or HashMap in Java.
Map<String, String> map = new HashMap<String, String>();
map.put("1", "Mon");
map.put("2", "Tue");
map.put("3", "Wed");
//loop a Map
for (Map.Entry<String, String> entry : map.entrySet()) {
System.out.println("Key : " + entry.getKey() + " Value : " + entry.getValue());
}
System.out.println("####################");
//Java 8 only, forEach and Lambda
map.forEach((k,v)->System.out.println("Key : " + k + " Value : " + v));
SysOut
Key : 1 Value :Mon Key : 2 Value :Tue Key : 3 Value :Wed #################### Key : 1 Value :Mon Key : 2 Value :Tue Key : 3 Value :Wed
3 ways to loop or iterate Map in Java.
package com.ms;
import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.Iterator;
import java.util.Map;
import java.util.Map.Entry;
public class MapExample {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// initial a Map
Map<Integer, String> map = new HashMap<Integer, String>();
map.put(1, "Mon");
map.put(2, "Tue");
map.put(3, "Wed");
map.put(4, "Thu");
map.put(5, "Fri");
map.put(6, "Sat");
map.put(7, "Sun");
System.out.println("Example 1");
for (Map.Entry<Integer, String> entry : map.entrySet()) {
System.out.println("Key : " + entry.getKey() + " Value : " + entry.getValue());
}
System.out.println("##########################");
System.out.println("Example 2");
for (Object key : map.keySet()) {
System.out.println("Key : " + key.toString() + " Value : " + map.get(key));
}
System.out.println("##########################");
System.out.println("Example 3");
Iterator<Entry<Integer, String>> iterator = map.entrySet().iterator();
while (iterator.hasNext()) {
Map.Entry<Integer,String> entry = (Map.Entry<Integer,String>) iterator.next();
System.out.println("Key : " + entry.getKey() + " Value :" + entry.getValue());
}
}
}
SysOut
Example 1 Key : 1 Value : Mon Key : 2 Value : Tue Key : 3 Value : Wed Key : 4 Value : Thu Key : 5 Value : Fri Key : 6 Value : Sat Key : 7 Value : Sun ########################## Example 2 Key : 1 Value : Mon Key : 2 Value : Tue Key : 3 Value : Wed Key : 4 Value : Thu Key : 5 Value : Fri Key : 6 Value : Sat Key : 7 Value : Sun ########################## Example 3 Key : 1 Value :Mon Key : 2 Value :Tue Key : 3 Value :Wed Key : 4 Value :Thu Key : 5 Value :Fri Key : 6 Value :Sat Key : 7 Value :Sun
