parsing on HashMap in Java
Solution 1
Here's how you can get the key set:
Set<A> keys = myMap.keySet();
I don't know what "passing on" means. I don't know what "parsing" means for a HashMap, either. Except for getting the keys out of the Map, this question makes no sense whatsoever. Voting to close.
Solution 2
This is a more generic answer based on question title.
Parsing keys & values using entrySet()
HashMap<A, B> myMap = new HashMap<A, B>();
...
myMap.put(key, value);
...
for (Entry<A, B> e : myMap.entrySet()) {
A key = e.getKey();
B value = e.getValue();
}
//// or using an iterator:
// retrieve a set of the entries
Set<Entry<A, B>> entries = myMap.entrySet();
// parse the set
Iterator<Entry<A, B>> it = entries.iterator();
while(it.hasNext()) {
Entry<A, B> e = it.next();
A key = e.getKey();
B value = e.getValue();
}
Parsing keys using keySet()
HashMap<A, B> myMap = new HashMap<A, B>();
...
myMap.put(key, value);
...
for (A key : myMap.keySet()) {
B value = myMap.get(key); //get() is less efficient
} //than above e.getValue()
// for parsing using a Set.iterator see example above
See more details about entrySet()
vs keySet()
on question Performance considerations for keySet() and entrySet() of Map.
Parsing values using values()
HashMap<A, B> myMap = new HashMap<A, B>();
...
myMap.put(key, value);
...
for (B value : myMap.values()) {
...
}
//// or using an iterator:
// retrieve a collection of the values (type B)
Collection<B> c = myMap.values();
// parse the collection
Iterator<B> it = c.iterator();
while(it.hasNext())
B value = it.next();
}
Solution 3
map.keySet() will return you the set containing all keys .. from here you can parse the set and get all the keys
Solution 4
myMap.keySet() ? Not sure what you mean actually.
Solution 5
After passing the map to wherever you're passing it to, the method/class ending up with the map would make the following call to get the set of keys in the map.
Set<A> keys = myMap.keySet();

I've simple question.
I set:
HashMap<A, B> myMap = new HashMap<A, B>(); ... myMap.put(...) ...
Now I want to Loop through myMap and get all the keys (of type A). how can I do that?
I want to get all keys from myMap by loop, and send them to "void myFunction(A param){...}".
