Map
public
interface
Map
java.util.Map<K, V> |
An object that maps keys to values. A map cannot contain duplicate keys; each key can map to at most one value.
This interface takes the place of the Dictionary
class, which
was a totally abstract class rather than an interface.
The Map
interface provides three collection views, which
allow a map's contents to be viewed as a set of keys, collection of values,
or set of key-value mappings. The order of a map is defined as
the order in which the iterators on the map's collection views return their
elements. Some map implementations, like the TreeMap
class, make
specific guarantees as to their order; others, like the HashMap
class, do not.
Note: great care must be exercised if mutable objects are used as map
keys. The behavior of a map is not specified if the value of an object is
changed in a manner that affects equals
comparisons while the
object is a key in the map. A special case of this prohibition is that it
is not permissible for a map to contain itself as a key. While it is
permissible for a map to contain itself as a value, extreme caution is
advised: the equals
and hashCode
methods are no longer
well defined on such a map.
All general-purpose map implementation classes should provide two
"standard" constructors: a void (no arguments) constructor which creates an
empty map, and a constructor with a single argument of type Map
,
which creates a new map with the same key-value mappings as its argument.
In effect, the latter constructor allows the user to copy any map,
producing an equivalent map of the desired class. There is no way to
enforce this recommendation (as interfaces cannot contain constructors) but
all of the general-purpose map implementations in the JDK comply.
The "destructive" methods contained in this interface, that is, the
methods that modify the map on which they operate, are specified to throw
UnsupportedOperationException
if this map does not support the
operation. If this is the case, these methods may, but are not required
to, throw an UnsupportedOperationException
if the invocation would
have no effect on the map. For example, invoking the putAll(java.util.Map)
method on an unmodifiable map may, but is not required to, throw the
exception if the map whose mappings are to be "superimposed" is empty.
Some map implementations have restrictions on the keys and values they
may contain. For example, some implementations prohibit null keys and
values, and some have restrictions on the types of their keys. Attempting
to insert an ineligible key or value throws an unchecked exception,
typically NullPointerException
or ClassCastException
.
Attempting to query the presence of an ineligible key or value may throw an
exception, or it may simply return false; some implementations will exhibit
the former behavior and some will exhibit the latter. More generally,
attempting an operation on an ineligible key or value whose completion
would not result in the insertion of an ineligible element into the map may
throw an exception or it may succeed, at the option of the implementation.
Such exceptions are marked as "optional" in the specification for this
interface.
Many methods in Collections Framework interfaces are defined
in terms of the equals
method. For
example, the specification for the containsKey(Object key)
method says: "returns true
if and
only if this map contains a mapping for a key k
such that
(key==null ? k==null : key.equals(k))
." This specification should
not be construed to imply that invoking Map.containsKey
with a non-null argument key
will cause key.equals(k)
to
be invoked for any key k
. Implementations are free to
implement optimizations whereby the equals
invocation is avoided,
for example, by first comparing the hash codes of the two keys. (The
Object#hashCode()
specification guarantees that two objects with
unequal hash codes cannot be equal.) More generally, implementations of
the various Collections Framework interfaces are free to take advantage of
the specified behavior of underlying Object
methods wherever the
implementor deems it appropriate.
Some map operations which perform recursive traversal of the map may fail
with an exception for self-referential instances where the map directly or
indirectly contains itself. This includes the clone()
,
equals()
, hashCode()
and toString()
methods.
Implementations may optionally handle the self-referential scenario, however
most current implementations do not do so.
Unmodifiable Maps
The Map.of
,
Map.ofEntries
, and
Map.copyOf
static factory methods provide a convenient way to create unmodifiable maps.
The Map
instances created by these methods have the following characteristics:
- They are unmodifiable. Keys and values
cannot be added, removed, or updated. Calling any mutator method on the Map
will always cause
UnsupportedOperationException
to be thrown. However, if the contained keys or values are themselves mutable, this may cause the Map to behave inconsistently or its contents to appear to change. - They disallow
null
keys and values. Attempts to create them withnull
keys or values result inNullPointerException
. - They are serializable if all keys and values are serializable.
- They reject duplicate keys at creation time. Duplicate keys
passed to a static factory method result in
IllegalArgumentException
. - The iteration order of mappings is unspecified and is subject to change.
- They are value-based. Programmers should treat instances that are equal as interchangeable and should not use them for synchronization, or unpredictable behavior may occur. For example, in a future release, synchronization may fail. Callers should make no assumptions about the identity of the returned instances. Factories are free to create new instances or reuse existing ones.
- They are serialized as specified on the Serialized Form page.
This interface is a member of the Java Collections Framework.

clear
public abstract void clear ()
Removes all of the mappings from this map (optional operation). The map will be empty after this call returns.
Throws | |
---|---|
UnsupportedOperationException |
if the clear operation
is not supported by this map |
compute
public V compute (K key, BiFunction<? super K, ? super V, ? extends V> remappingFunction)
Attempts to compute a mapping for the specified key and its current
mapped value (or null
if there is no current mapping). For
example, to either create or append a String
msg to a value
mapping:
map.compute(key, (k, v) -> (v == null) ? msg : v.concat(msg))
merge()
is often simpler to use for such purposes.)
If the remapping function returns null
, the mapping is removed
(or remains absent if initially absent). If the remapping function
itself throws an (unchecked) exception, the exception is rethrown, and
the current mapping is left unchanged.
The remapping function should not modify this map during computation.
Implementation Requirements:
- The default implementation is equivalent to performing the following
steps for this
map
:V oldValue = map.get(key); V newValue = remappingFunction.apply(key, oldValue); if (newValue != null) { map.put(key, newValue); } else if (oldValue != null || map.containsKey(key)) { map.remove(key); } return newValue;
The default implementation makes no guarantees about detecting if the remapping function modifies this map during computation and, if appropriate, reporting an error. Non-concurrent implementations should override this method and, on a best-effort basis, throw a
ConcurrentModificationException
if it is detected that the remapping function modifies this map during computation. Concurrent implementations should override this method and, on a best-effort basis, throw anIllegalStateException
if it is detected that the remapping function modifies this map during computation and as a result computation would never complete.The default implementation makes no guarantees about synchronization or atomicity properties of this method. Any implementation providing atomicity guarantees must override this method and document its concurrency properties. In particular, all implementations of subinterface
ConcurrentMap
must document whether the remapping function is applied once atomically only if the value is not present.
Parameters | |
---|---|
key |
K : key with which the specified value is to be associated |
remappingFunction |
BiFunction : the remapping function to compute a value |
Returns | |
---|---|
V |
the new value associated with the specified key, or null if none |
Throws | |
---|---|
NullPointerException |
if the specified key is null and this map does not support null keys, or the remappingFunction is null |
UnsupportedOperationException |
if the put operation
is not supported by this map
(optional) |
ClassCastException |
if the class of the specified key or value prevents it from being stored in this map (optional) |
IllegalArgumentException |
if some property of the specified key or value prevents it from being stored in this map (optional) |
computeIfAbsent
public V computeIfAbsent (K key, Function<? super K, ? extends V> mappingFunction)
If the specified key is not already associated with a value (or is mapped
to null
), attempts to compute its value using the given mapping
function and enters it into this map unless null
.
If the mapping function returns null
, no mapping is recorded.
If the mapping function itself throws an (unchecked) exception, the
exception is rethrown, and no mapping is recorded. The most
common usage is to construct a new object serving as an initial
mapped value or memoized result, as in:
map.computeIfAbsent(key, k -> new Value(f(k)));
Or to implement a multi-value map, Map<K,Collection<V>>
,
supporting multiple values per key:
map.computeIfAbsent(key, k -> new HashSet<V>()).add(v);
The mapping function should not modify this map during computation.
Implementation Requirements:
- The default implementation is equivalent to the following steps for this
map
, then returning the current value ornull
if now absent:if (map.get(key) == null) { V newValue = mappingFunction.apply(key); if (newValue != null) map.put(key, newValue); }
The default implementation makes no guarantees about detecting if the mapping function modifies this map during computation and, if appropriate, reporting an error. Non-concurrent implementations should override this method and, on a best-effort basis, throw a
ConcurrentModificationException
if it is detected that the mapping function modifies this map during computation. Concurrent implementations should override this method and, on a best-effort basis, throw anIllegalStateException
if it is detected that the mapping function modifies this map during computation and as a result computation would never complete.The default implementation makes no guarantees about synchronization or atomicity properties of this method.

Returns | |
---|---|

UnsupportedOperationException |
if the put operation
is not supported by this map
(optional) |
ClassCastException |
if the class of the specified key or value prevents it from being stored in this map (optional) |
IllegalArgumentException |
if some property of the specified key or value prevents it from being stored in this map (optional) |
computeIfPresent
public V computeIfPresent (K key, BiFunction<? super K, ? super V, ? extends V> remappingFunction)
If the value for the specified key is present and non-null, attempts to compute a new mapping given the key and its current mapped value.
If the remapping function returns null
, the mapping is removed.
If the remapping function itself throws an (unchecked) exception, the
exception is rethrown, and the current mapping is left unchanged.
The remapping function should not modify this map during computation.
Implementation Requirements:
- The default implementation is equivalent to performing the following
steps for this
map
, then returning the current value ornull
if now absent:if (map.get(key) != null) { V oldValue = map.get(key); V newValue = remappingFunction.apply(key, oldValue); if (newValue != null) map.put(key, newValue); else map.remove(key); }
The default implementation makes no guarantees about detecting if the remapping function modifies this map during computation and, if appropriate, reporting an error. Non-concurrent implementations should override this method and, on a best-effort basis, throw a
ConcurrentModificationException

containsKey
public abstract boolean containsKey (Object key)
Returns true
if this map contains a mapping for the specified
key. More formally, returns true
if and only if
this map contains a mapping for a key k
such that
Objects.equals(key, k)
. (There can be
at most one such mapping.)
Parameters | |
---|---|
key |
Object : key whose presence in this map is to be tested |
Returns | |
---|---|
boolean |
true if this map contains a mapping for the specified
key |
Throws | |
---|---|
ClassCastException |
if the key is of an inappropriate type for this map (optional) |
NullPointerException |
if the specified key is null and this map does not permit null keys (optional) |
containsValue
public abstract boolean containsValue (Object value)
Returns true
if this map maps one or more keys to the
specified value. More formally, returns true
if and only if
this map contains at least one mapping to a value v
such that
Objects.equals(value, v)
. This operation
will probably require time linear in the map size for most
implementations of the Map
interface.
Parameters | |
---|---|
value |
Object : value whose presence in this map is to be tested |
Returns | |
---|---|
boolean |
true if this map maps one or more keys to the
specified value |
Throws | |
---|---|
ClassCastException |
if the value is of an inappropriate type for this map (optional) |
NullPointerException |
if the specified value is null and this map does not permit null values (optional) |
copyOf
public static Map<K, V> copyOf (Map<? extends K, ? extends V> map)
Returns an unmodifiable Map containing the entries of the given Map. The given Map must not be null, and it must not contain any null keys or values. If the given Map is subsequently modified, the returned Map will not reflect such modifications.
Implementation Note:
- If the given Map is an unmodifiable Map, calling copyOf will generally not create a copy.
Parameters | |
---|---|
map |
Map : a Map from which entries are drawn, must be non-null |
Returns | |
---|---|
Map<K, V> |
a Map containing the entries of the given Map |
Throws | |
---|---|
NullPointerException |
if map is null, or if it contains any null keys or values |
entry
public static Entry<K, V> entry (K k, V v)
Returns an unmodifiable Entry
containing the given key and value.
These entries are suitable for populating Map
instances using the
Map.ofEntries()
method.
The Entry
instances created by this method have the following characteristics:
- They disallow
null
keys and values. Attempts to create them using anull
key or value result inNullPointerException
. - They are unmodifiable. Calls to
Entry.setValue()
on a returnedEntry
result inUnsupportedOperationException
. - They are not serializable.
- They are value-based. Programmers should treat instances that are equal as interchangeable and should not use them for synchronization, or unpredictable behavior may occur. For example, in a future release, synchronization may fail. Callers should make no assumptions about the identity of the returned instances. This method is free to create new instances or reuse existing ones.
API Note:
- For a serializable
Entry
, seeAbstractMap.SimpleEntry
orAbstractMap.SimpleImmutableEntry
.
Parameters | |
---|---|
k |
K : the key |
v |
V : the value |
Returns | |
---|---|
Entry<K, V> |
an Entry containing the specified key and value |
Throws | |
---|---|
NullPointerException |
if the key or value is null |
See also:
entrySet
public abstract Set<Entry<K, V>> entrySet ()
Returns a Set
view of the mappings contained in this map.
The set is backed by the map, so changes to the map are
reflected in the set, and vice-versa. If the map is modified
while an iteration over the set is in progress (except through
the iterator's own remove
operation, or through the
setValue
operation on a map entry returned by the
iterator) the results of the iteration are undefined. The set
supports element removal, which removes the corresponding
mapping from the map, via the Iterator.remove
,
Set.remove
, removeAll
, retainAll
and
clear
operations. It does not support the
add
or addAll
operations.
Returns | |
---|---|
Set<Entry<K, V>> |
a set view of the mappings contained in this map |
equals
public abstract boolean equals (Object o)
Compares the specified object with this map for equality. Returns
true
if the given object is also a map and the two maps
represent the same mappings. More formally, two maps m1
and
m2
represent the same mappings if
m1.entrySet().equals(m2.entrySet())
. This ensures that the
equals
method works properly across different implementations
of the Map
interface.
Parameters | |
---|---|
o |
Object : object to be compared for equality with this map |
Returns | |
---|---|
boolean |
true if the specified object is equal to this map |
forEach
public void forEach (BiConsumer<? super K, ? super V> action)
Performs the given action for each entry in this map until all entries have been processed or the action throws an exception. Unless otherwise specified by the implementing class, actions are performed in the order of entry set iteration (if an iteration order is specified.) Exceptions thrown by the action are relayed to the caller.
Implementation Requirements:
- The default implementation is equivalent to, for this
map
: The default implementation makes no guarantees about synchronization or atomicity properties of this method. Any implementation providing atomicity guarantees must override this method and document its concurrency properties.for (Map.Entry<K, V> entry : map.entrySet()) action.accept(entry.getKey(), entry.getValue());
Parameters | |
---|---|
action |
BiConsumer : The action to be performed for each entry |
Throws | |
---|---|
NullPointerException |
if the specified action is null |
ConcurrentModificationException |
if an entry is found to be removed during iteration |
get
public abstract V get (Object key)
Returns the value to which the specified key is mapped,
or null
if this map contains no mapping for the key.
More formally, if this map contains a mapping from a key
k
to a value v
such that
Objects.equals(key, k)
,
then this method returns v
; otherwise
it returns null
. (There can be at most one such mapping.)
If this map permits null values, then a return value of
null
does not necessarily indicate that the map
contains no mapping for the key; it's also possible that the map
explicitly maps the key to null
. The containsKey
operation may be used to distinguish these two cases.
Parameters | |
---|---|
key |
Object : the key whose associated value is to be returned |
Returns | |
---|---|
V |
the value to which the specified key is mapped, or
null if this map contains no mapping for the key |
Throws | |
---|---|
ClassCastException |
if the key is of an inappropriate type for this map (optional) |
NullPointerException |
if the specified key is null and this map does not permit null keys (optional) |
getOrDefault
public V getOrDefault (Object key, V defaultValue)
Returns the value to which the specified key is mapped, or
defaultValue
if this map contains no mapping for the key.
Implementation Requirements:
- The default implementation makes no guarantees about synchronization or atomicity properties of this method. Any implementation providing atomicity guarantees must override this method and document its concurrency properties.
Parameters | |
---|---|
key |
Object : the key whose associated value is to be returned |
defaultValue |
V : the default mapping of the key |
Returns | |
---|---|
V |
the value to which the specified key is mapped, or
defaultValue if this map contains no mapping for the key |
Throws | |
---|---|
ClassCastException |
if the key is of an inappropriate type for this map (optional) |
NullPointerException |
if the specified key is null and this map does not permit null keys (optional) |
hashCode
public abstract int hashCode ()
Returns the hash code value for this map. The hash code of a map is
defined to be the sum of the hash codes of each entry in the map's
entrySet()
view. This ensures that m1.equals(m2)
implies that m1.hashCode()==m2.hashCode()
for any two maps
m1
and m2
, as required by the general contract of
Object#hashCode
.
Returns | |
---|---|
int |
the hash code value for this map |
isEmpty
public abstract boolean isEmpty ()
Returns true
if this map contains no key-value mappings.
Returns | |
---|---|
boolean |
true if this map contains no key-value mappings |
keySet
public abstract Set<K> keySet ()
Returns a Set
view of the keys contained in this map.
The set is backed by the map, so changes to the map are
reflected in the set, and vice-versa. If the map is modified
while an iteration over the set is in progress (except through
the iterator's own remove
operation), the results of
the iteration are undefined. The set supports element removal,
which removes the corresponding mapping from the map, via the
Iterator.remove
, Set.remove
,
removeAll
, retainAll
, and clear
operations. It does not support the add
or addAll
operations.
Returns | |
---|---|
Set<K> |
a set view of the keys contained in this map |
merge
public V merge (K key, V value, BiFunction<? super V, ? super V, ? extends V> remappingFunction)
If the specified key is not already associated with a value or is
associated with null, associates it with the given non-null value.
Otherwise, replaces the associated value with the results of the given
remapping function, or removes if the result is null
. This
method may be of use when combining multiple mapped values for a key.
For example, to either create or append a String msg
to a
value mapping:
map.merge(key, msg, String::concat)
If the remapping function returns null
, the mapping is removed.
If the remapping function itself throws an (unchecked) exception, the
exception is rethrown, and the current mapping is left unchanged.
The remapping function should not modify this map during computation.
Implementation Requirements:
- The default implementation is equivalent to performing the following
steps for this
map
, then returning the current value ornull
if absent:V oldValue = map.get(key); V newValue = (oldValue == null) ? value : remappingFunction.apply(oldValue, value); if (newValue == null) map.remove(key); else map.put(key, newValue);
The default implementation makes no guarantees about detecting if the remapping function modifies this map during computation and, if appropriate, reporting an error. Non-concurrent implementations should override this method and, on a best-effort basis, throw a
ConcurrentModificationException
if it is detected that the remapping function modifies this map during computation. Concurrent implementations should override this method and, on a best-effort basis, throw anIllegalStateException
if it is detected that the remapping function modifies this map during computation and as a result computation would never complete.The default implementation makes no guarantees about synchronization or atomicity properties of this method. Any implementation providing atomicity guarantees must override this method and document its concurrency properties. In particular, all implementations of subinterface
ConcurrentMap
must document whether the remapping function is applied once atomically only if the value is not present.

Returns an unmodifiable map containing keys and values extracted from the given entries. The entries themselves are not stored in the map. See Unmodifiable Maps for details.
API Note:
- It is convenient to create the map entries using the
Map.entry()
method. For example,import static java.util.Map.entry; Map<Integer,String> map = Map.ofEntries( entry(1, "a"), entry(2, "b"), entry(3, "c"), ... entry(26, "z"));

Returns | |
---|---|
Map<K, V> |
a Map containing the specified mappings |
Throws | |
---|---|
IllegalArgumentException |
if there are any duplicate keys |
NullPointerException |
if any entry, key, or value is null , or if
the entries array is null |
See also:
put
public abstract V put (K key, V value)
Associates the specified value with the specified key in this map
(optional operation). If the map previously contained a mapping for
the key, the old value is replaced by the specified value. (A map
m
is said to contain a mapping for a key k
if and only
if m.containsKey(k)
would return
true
.)
Parameters | |
---|---|
key |
K : key with which the specified value is to be associated |
value |
V : value to be associated with the specified key |
Returns | |
---|---|
V |
the previous value associated with key , or
null if there was no mapping for key .
(A null return can also indicate that the map
previously associated null with key ,
if the implementation supports null values.) |
Throws | |
---|---|
UnsupportedOperationException |
if the put operation
is not supported by this map |
ClassCastException |
if the class of the specified key or value prevents it from being stored in this map |
NullPointerException |
if the specified key or value is null and this map does not permit null keys or values |
IllegalArgumentException |
if some property of the specified key or value prevents it from being stored in this map |
putAll
public abstract void putAll (Map<? extends K, ? extends V> m)
Copies all of the mappings from the specified map to this map
(optional operation). The effect of this call is equivalent to that
of calling put(k, v)
on this map once
for each mapping from key k
to value v
in the
specified map. The behavior of this operation is undefined if the
specified map is modified while the operation is in progress.
Parameters | |
---|---|
m |
Map : mappings to be stored in this map |
Throws | |
---|---|
UnsupportedOperationException |
if the putAll operation
is not supported by this map |
ClassCastException |
if the class of a key or value in the specified map prevents it from being stored in this map |
NullPointerException |
if the specified map is null, or if this map does not permit null keys or values, and the specified map contains null keys or values |
IllegalArgumentException |
if some property of a key or value in the specified map prevents it from being stored in this map |
putIfAbsent
public V putIfAbsent (K key, V value)
If the specified key is not already associated with a value (or is mapped
to null
) associates it with the given value and returns
null
, else returns the current value.
Implementation Requirements:
- The default implementation is equivalent to, for this
map
:V v = map.get(key); if (v == null) v = map.put(key, value); return v;
The default implementation makes no guarantees about synchronization or atomicity properties of this method. Any implementation providing atomicity guarantees must override this method and document its concurrency properties.
Parameters | |
---|---|
key |
K : key with which the specified value is to be associated |
value |
V : value to be associated with the specified key |
Returns | |
---|---|
V |
the previous value associated with the specified key, or
null if there was no mapping for the key.
(A null return can also indicate that the map
previously associated null with the key,
if the implementation supports null values.) |
Throws | |
---|---|
UnsupportedOperationException |
if the put operation
is not supported by this map
(optional) |
ClassCastException |
if the key or value is of an inappropriate type for this map (optional) |
NullPointerException |
if the specified key or value is null, and this map does not permit null keys or values (optional) |
IllegalArgumentException |
if some property of the specified key or value prevents it from being stored in this map (optional) |
remove
public boolean remove (Object key, Object value)
Removes the entry for the specified key only if it is currently mapped to the specified value.
Implementation Requirements:
- The default implementation is equivalent to, for this
map
:if (map.containsKey(key) && Objects.equals(map.get(key), value)) { map.remove(key); return true; } else return false;
The default implementation makes no guarantees about synchronization or atomicity properties of this method. Any implementation providing atomicity guarantees must override this method and document its concurrency properties.
Parameters | |
---|---|
key |
Object : key with which the specified value is associated |
value |
Object : value expected to be associated with the specified key |
Returns | |
---|---|
boolean |
true if the value was removed |
Throws | |
---|---|
UnsupportedOperationException |
if the remove operation
is not supported by this map
(optional) |
ClassCastException |
if the key or value is of an inappropriate type for this map (optional) |
NullPointerException |
if the specified key or value is null, and this map does not permit null keys or values (optional) |
remove
public abstract V remove (Object key)
Removes the mapping for a key from this map if it is present
(optional operation). More formally, if this map contains a mapping
from key k
to value v
such that
Objects.equals(key, k)
, that mapping
is removed. (The map can contain at most one such mapping.)
Returns the value to which this map previously associated the key,
or null
if the map contained no mapping for the key.
If this map permits null values, then a return value of
null
does not necessarily indicate that the map
contained no mapping for the key; it's also possible that the map
explicitly mapped the key to null
.
The map will not contain a mapping for the specified key once the call returns.
Parameters | |
---|---|
key |
Object : key whose mapping is to be removed from the map |
Returns | |
---|---|
V |
the previous value associated with key , or
null if there was no mapping for key . |
Throws | |
---|---|
UnsupportedOperationException |
if the remove operation
is not supported by this map |
ClassCastException |
if the key is of an inappropriate type for this map (optional) |
NullPointerException |
if the specified key is null and this map does not permit null keys (optional) |
replace
public boolean replace (K key, V oldValue, V newValue)
Replaces the entry for the specified key only if currently mapped to the specified value.
Implementation Requirements:
- The default implementation is equivalent to, for this
map
: The default implementation does not throw NullPointerException for maps that do not support null values if oldValue is null unless newValue is also null.if (map.containsKey(key) && Objects.equals(map.get(key), oldValue)) { map.put(key, newValue); return true; } else return false;
The default implementation makes no guarantees about synchronization or atomicity properties of this method. Any implementation providing atomicity guarantees must override this method and document its concurrency properties.

oldValue |
V : value expected to be associated with the specified key |
newValue |
V : value to be associated with the specified key |

NullPointerException |
if oldValue is null and this map does not permit null values (optional) |
IllegalArgumentException |
if some property of a specified key or value prevents it from being stored in this map |
replace
public V replace (K key, V value)
Replaces the entry for the specified key only if it is currently mapped to some value.
Implementation Requirements:
- The default implementation is equivalent to, for this
map
:if (map.containsKey(key)) { return map.put(key, value); } else return null;
The default implementation makes no guarantees about synchronization or atomicity properties of this method. Any implementation providing atomicity guarantees must override this method and document its concurrency properties.

value |
V : value to be associated with the specified key |
Returns | |
---|---|
V |
the previous value associated with the specified key, or
null if there was no mapping for the key.
(A null return can also indicate that the map
previously associated null with the key,
if the implementation supports null values.) |
Throws | |
---|---|
UnsupportedOperationException |
if the put operation
is not supported by this map
(optional) |
ClassCastException |
if the class of the specified key or value prevents it from being stored in this map (optional) |
NullPointerException |
if the specified key or value is null, and this map does not permit null keys or values |
IllegalArgumentException |

replaceAll
public void replaceAll (BiFunction<? super K, ? super V, ? extends V> function)
Replaces each entry's value with the result of invoking the given function on that entry until all entries have been processed or the function throws an exception. Exceptions thrown by the function are relayed to the caller.
Implementation Requirements:
The default implementation is equivalent to, for this
map
:for (Map.Entry<K, V> entry : map.entrySet()) entry.setValue(function.apply(entry.getKey(), entry.getValue()));
The default implementation makes no guarantees about synchronization or atomicity properties of this method. Any implementation providing atomicity guarantees must override this method and document its concurrency properties.
Parameters | |
---|---|
function |
BiFunction : the function to apply to each entry |
Throws | |
---|---|
UnsupportedOperationException |
if the set operation
is not supported by this map's entry set iterator. |
ClassCastException |
if the class of a replacement value prevents it from being stored in this map |
NullPointerException |
if the specified function is null, or the specified replacement value is null, and this map does not permit null values |
ClassCastException |
if a replacement value is of an inappropriate type for this map (optional) |
NullPointerException |
if function or a replacement value is null, and this map does not permit null keys or values (optional) |
IllegalArgumentException |

ConcurrentModificationException |
if an entry is found to be removed during iteration |
size
public abstract int size ()
Returns the number of key-value mappings in this map. If the
map contains more than Integer.MAX_VALUE
elements, returns
Integer.MAX_VALUE
.
Returns | |
---|---|
int |
the number of key-value mappings in this map |
values
public abstract Collection<V> values ()
Returns a Collection
view of the values contained in this map.
The collection is backed by the map, so changes to the map are
reflected in the collection, and vice-versa. If the map is
modified while an iteration over the collection is in progress
(except through the iterator's own remove
operation),
the results of the iteration are undefined. The collection
supports element removal, which removes the corresponding
mapping from the map, via the Iterator.remove
,
Collection.remove
, removeAll
,
retainAll
and clear
operations. It does not
support the add
or addAll
operations.
Returns | |
---|---|
Collection<V> |
a collection view of the values contained in this map |
