Java Generics - Map



Java has provided generic support in Map interface.

Syntax

Set<T> set = new HashSet<T>();

Where

  • set − object of Set Interface.

  • T − The generic type parameter passed during set declaration.

Description

The T is a type parameter passed to the generic interface Set and its implemenation class HashSet.

Example

Create the following java program using any editor of your choice.

package com.tutorialspoint; import java.util.HashMap; import java.util.Iterator; import java.util.Map; public class GenericsTester { public static void main(String[] args) { Map<Integer,Integer> integerMap = new HashMap<Integer,Integer>(); integerMap.put(1, 10); integerMap.put(2, 11); Map<String,String> stringMap = new HashMap<String,String>(); stringMap.put("1", "Hello World"); stringMap.put("2","Hi World"); System.out.printf("Integer Value :%d\n", integerMap.get(1)); System.out.printf("String Value :%s\n", stringMap.get("1")); // iterate keys. Iterator<Integer> integerIterator = integerMap.keySet().iterator(); while(integerIterator.hasNext()) { System.out.printf("Integer Value :%d\n", integerIterator.next()); } // iterate values. Iterator<String> stringIterator = stringMap.values().iterator(); while(stringIterator.hasNext()) { System.out.printf("String Value :%s\n", stringIterator.next()); } } }

This will produce the following result −

Output

Integer Value :10
String Value :Hello World
Integer Value :1
Integer Value :2
String Value :Hello World
String Value :Hi World
