Java HashMap Methods

All HashMap Methods

A list of all HashMap methods can be found in the table below.

Some methods use the type of the HashMap's entries as a parameter or

return value. The type of the key will be referred to as K and the type of the
value will be referred to as V in the table.

Method Description Return Type

clear() Remove all entries from the map. void

clone() Create a copy of the HashMap. Object

compute() Compute a value for an entry based on V

its key and the current value (if it has
one)

computeIfAbs Compute a value for an entry based on V

ent() its key only if an entry using the key
does not already exist

computeIfPres Compute a new value for an entry based V

ent() on its key and current value but only if
an entry with the key already exists

containsKey() Indicate if an entry with the specified key boolean

exists in the map
containsValue Indicate if an entry with the specified boolean
() value exists in the map

entrySet() Return a set of all entries in the map Set<

[Link]<K,
V> >

forEach() Perform an action on every entry in the void

map

get() Return the value of the entry with a V

specified key

getOrDefault() Return the value of the entry with a V

specified key or a default value if the
entry is not found

isEmpty() Indicate whether the map is empty boolean

keySet() Return a set of all keys in the map Set<K>

merge() Compute a value for an entry based on V

its key and value or write a specific value
if the entry does not yet exist

put() Write an entry into the map V

putAll() Write all of the entries from another map void

into this one

putIfAbsent() Write an entry into the map but only if V

an entry with the same key does not
already exist

remove() Remove an entry from the map V|boolean

replace() Write to an entry in the map only if it V|boolean

exists

replaceAll() Replaces the value of every entry with void

the result of an operation

size() Return the number of entries in the map int

values() Return a collection containing all of the Collection<V>

values in the map
