Java Map collection

HashMap. size() method of HashMap class is used to get the size of the map which refers to the number of the key-value pair or mappings in the Map. Parameters: The method does not take any parameters. Return Value: The method returns the size of the map which also means the number of key-value pairs present in the map.

Mutable maps supports modification operations such as add, remove, and clear on it . Unmodifiable Maps are “read-only” wrappers over other maps. They do not support add, remove, and clear operations, but we can modify their underlying map.

Create an iterator to iterate over the HashMap using HashMap. iterate() method.

Create an iterator to iterate over the HashMap using HashMap. iterate() method.

We can also initialize the map using the double-brace syntax: Map<String, String> doubleBraceMap = new HashMap<String, String>() {{ put(“key1”, “value1”); put(“key2”, “value2”); }};
