In Java as we know that the behavior of any variable/method is defined by the keyword that is used in front of its declaration name. So one of the non-access modifiers is Static which can be used along with method as well as with variable. Static methods as name states defined at the class level and could be accessed on the class name i.e no need of class object creation in order to access/call the static methods. While on another hand if we do not uses the static keyword with variable/method than it belongs or categorized as instance method which ... Read More

As we know that Hash map in Java does not maintain insertion order either by key or by order.Also it does not maintain any other order while adding entries to it. Now in order to sort a hash map according to the values mapped to its corresponding keys we first need to get all values of map considering that hash map has unique values only.Now put all the values in a list and sort this list with the comparator or comparable interface of Java. As we get sorted list of unique values now get corresponding keys from the map and ... Read More
