public class HashMap<K,V> extends AbstractMap<K,V> implements Map<K,V>, Cloneable, Serializable
Hash table based implementation of the Map interface. This implementation provides all of the optional map operations, and permits null values and the null key. (The HashMap class is roughly equivalent to Hashtable, except that it is unsynchronized and permits nulls.) This class makes no guarantees as to the order of the map; in particular, it does not guarantee that the order will remain constant over time.This implementation provides constant-time performance for the basic operations (get and put), assuming the hash function disperses the elements properly among the buckets. Iteration over collection views requires time proportional to the "capacity" of the HashMap instance (the number of buckets) plus its size (the number of key-value mappings). Thus, it's very important not to set the initial capacity too high (or the load factor too low) if iteration performance is important.
An instance of HashMap has two parameters that affect its performance: initial capacity and load factor. The capacity is the number of buckets in the hash table, and the initial capacity is simply the capacity at the time the hash table is created. The load factor is a measure of how full the hash table is allowed to get before its capacity is automatically increased. When the number of entries in the hash table exceeds the product of the load factor and the current capacity, the hash table is rehashed (that is, internal data structures are rebuilt) so that the hash table has approximately twice the number of buckets.
As a general rule, the default load factor (.75) offers a good tradeoff between time and space costs. Higher values decrease the space overhead but increase the lookup cost (reflected in most of the operations of the HashMap class, including get and put). The expected number of entries in the map and its load factor should be taken into account when setting its initial capacity, so as to minimize the number of rehash operations. If the initial capacity is greater than the maximum number of entries divided by the load factor, no rehash operations will ever occur.
If many mappings are to be stored in a HashMap instance, creating it with a sufficiently large capacity will allow the mappings to be stored more efficiently than letting it perform automatic rehashing as needed to grow the table. Note that using many keys with the same
hashCode()
is a sure way to slow down performance of any hash table. To ameliorate impact, when keys areComparable
, this class may use comparison order among keys to help break ties.Note that this implementation is not synchronized. If multiple threads access a hash map concurrently, and at least one of the threads modifies the map structurally, it must be synchronized externally. (A structural modification is any operation that adds or deletes one or more mappings; merely changing the value associated with a key that an instance already contains is not a structural modification.) This is typically accomplished by synchronizing on some object that naturally encapsulates the map. If no such object exists, the map should be "wrapped" using the
Collections.synchronizedMap
method. This is best done at creation time, to prevent accidental unsynchronized access to the map:Map m = Collections.synchronizedMap(new HashMap(...));
The iterators returned by all of this class's "collection view methods" are fail-fast: if the map is structurally modified at any time after the iterator is created, in any way except through the iterator's own remove method, the iterator will throw a
ConcurrentModificationException
. Thus, in the face of concurrent modification, the iterator fails quickly and cleanly, rather than risking arbitrary, non-deterministic behavior at an undetermined time in the future.Note that the fail-fast behavior of an iterator cannot be guaranteed as it is, generally speaking, impossible to make any hard guarantees in the presence of unsynchronized concurrent modification. Fail-fast iterators throw ConcurrentModificationException on a best-effort basis. Therefore, it would be wrong to write a program that depended on this exception for its correctness: the fail-fast behavior of iterators should be used only to detect bugs.
This class is a member of the Java Collections Framework.

isEmpty
public boolean isEmpty()
Returns true if this map contains no key-value mappings.
get
public V get(Object key)
Returns the value to which the specified key is mapped, ornull

, then this method returnsv
; otherwise it returnsnull
. (There can be at most one such mapping.)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 tonull
. ThecontainsKey

keySet
public Set<K> keySet()
Returns aSet
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.

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.
entrySet
public Set<Map.Entry<K,V>> entrySet()
Returns aSet
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.

- Parameters:
-
key
- key with which the specified value is associated -
value
- value to be associated with the specified key - Returns:
-
the previous value associated with the specified key, or
null
if there was no mapping for the key. (Anull
return can also indicate that the map previously associatednull
with the key, if the implementation supports null values.)
computeIfAbsent
public V computeIfAbsent(K key, Function<? super K,? extends V> mappingFunction)
Description copied from interface:Map
If the specified key is not already associated with a value (or is mapped tonull
), attempts to compute its value using the given mapping function and enters it into this map unlessnull
.If the function returns
null
no mapping is recorded. If the 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);
- Specified by:
-
computeIfAbsent
in interfaceMap<K,V>
- Parameters:
-
key
- key with which the specified value is to be associated -
mappingFunction
- the function to compute a value - Returns:
- the current (existing or computed) value associated with the specified key, or null if the computed value is null
computeIfPresent
public V computeIfPresent(K key, BiFunction<? super K,? super V,? extends V> remappingFunction)
Description copied from interface:Map
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 function returns
null
, the mapping is removed. If the function itself throws an (unchecked) exception, the exception is rethrown, and the current mapping is left unchanged.- Specified by:
-
computeIfPresent
in interfaceMap<K,V>
- Parameters:
-
key
- key with which the specified value is to be associated -
remappingFunction
- the function to compute a value - Returns:
- the new value associated with the specified key, or null if none
compute
public V compute(K key, BiFunction<? super K,? super V,? extends V> remappingFunction)
Description copied from interface:Map
Attempts to compute a mapping for the specified key and its current mapped value (ornull
if there is no current mapping). For example, to either create or append aString
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 function returns
null
, the mapping is removed (or remains absent if initially absent). If the function itself throws an (unchecked) exception, the exception is rethrown, and the current mapping is left unchanged.
merge
public V merge(K key, V value, BiFunction<? super V,? super V,? extends V> remappingFunction)
Description copied from interface:Map
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 isnull
. This method may be of use when combining multiple mapped values for a key. For example, to either create or append aString msg
to a value mapping:map.merge(key, msg, String::concat)
If the function returns
null
the mapping is removed. If the function itself throws an (unchecked) exception, the exception is rethrown, and the current mapping is left unchanged.- Specified by:
-
merge
in interfaceMap<K,V>
- Parameters:
-
key
- key with which the resulting value is to be associated -
value
- the non-null value to be merged with the existing value associated with the key or, if no existing value or a null value is associated with the key, to be associated with the key -

- the new value associated with the specified key, or null if no value is associated with the key
forEach
public void forEach(BiConsumer<? super K,? super V> action)
Description copied from interface:Map
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.
replaceAll
public void replaceAll(BiFunction<? super K,? super V,? extends V> function)
Description copied from interface:Map
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.- Specified by:
