The java.util.Map.entrySet() method in Java is used to create a set out of the same elements contained in the map. It basically returns a set view of the map or we can create a new set and store the map elements into them.
Syntax:map.entrySet()Parameters:
The method does not take any parameter.
Return Value:The method returns a set having same elements as the hash map. Below programs illustrate the java.util.Map.entrySet() Method:
Program 1:Mapping String Values to Integer Keys.
Java
// Java code to illustrate the entrySet() method
import java.util.*;
public class Map_Demo {
public static void main(String[] args)
{
// Creating an empty Map
Map<Integer, String> map = new HashMap<Integer, String>();
// Mapping string values to int keys
map.put(10, "Geeks");
map.put(15, "4");
map.put(20, "Geeks");
map.put(25, "Welcomes");
map.put(30, "You");
// Displaying the Map
System.out.println("Initial Mappings are: " + map);
// Using entrySet() to get the set view
System.out.println("The set is: " + map.entrySet());
}
}
Output:
Initial Mappings are: {20=Geeks, 25=Welcomes, 10=Geeks, 30=You, 15=4} The set is: [20=Geeks, 25=Welcomes, 10=Geeks, 30=You, 15=4]Program 2:
Mapping Integer Values to String Keys.
Java
// Java code to illustrate the entrySet() method
import java.util.*;
public class Map_Demo {
public static void main(String[] args)
{
// Creating an empty Map
Map<String, Integer> map = new HashMap<String, Integer>();
// Mapping int values to string keys
map.put("Geeks", 10);
map.put("4", 15);
map.put("Geeks", 20);
map.put("Welcomes", 25);
map.put("You", 30);
// Displaying the Map
System.out.println("Initial Mappings are: " + map);
// Using entrySet() to get the set view
System.out.println("The set is: " + map.entrySet());
}
}
Output:
Initial Mappings are: {4=15, Geeks=20, You=30, Welcomes=25} The set is: [4=15, Geeks=20, You=30, Welcomes=25]Note:
The same operation can be performed with any type of Mappings with variation and combination of different data types.
