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 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.

Constructor Detail

HashMap

public HashMap(int initialCapacity,
               float loadFactor)

Constructs an empty HashMap with the specified initial capacity and load factor.

Parameters:

initialCapacity - the initial capacity

loadFactor - the load factor

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if the initial capacity is negative or the load factor is nonpositive

HashMap

public HashMap(int initialCapacity)

Constructs an empty HashMap with the specified initial capacity and the default load factor (0.75).

Parameters:

initialCapacity - the initial capacity.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if the initial capacity is negative.

HashMap

public HashMap()

Constructs an empty HashMap with the default initial capacity (16) and the default load factor (0.75).

HashMap

public HashMap(Map<? extends K,? extends V> m)

Constructs a new HashMap with the same mappings as the specified Map. The HashMap is created with default load factor (0.75) and an initial capacity sufficient to hold the mappings in the specified Map.

Parameters:

m - the map whose mappings are to be placed in this map

Throws:

NullPointerException - if the specified map is null

Method Detail

size

public int size()

Returns the number of key-value mappings in this map.

Specified by:

size in interface Map<K,V>

Overrides:

size in class AbstractMap<K,V>

Returns:

the number of key-value mappings in this map

isEmpty

public boolean isEmpty()

Returns true if this map contains no key-value mappings.

Specified by:

isEmpty in interface Map<K,V>

Overrides:

isEmpty in class AbstractMap<K,V>

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, or null if this map contains no mapping for the key.

More formally, if this map contains a mapping from a key k to a value v such that (key==null ? k==null : key.equals(k)), then this method returns v; otherwise it returns null. (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 to null. The containsKey operation may be used to distinguish these two cases.

Specified by:

get in interface Map<K,V>

Overrides:

get in class AbstractMap<K,V>

Parameters:

key - the key whose associated value is to be returned

Returns:

the value to which the specified key is mapped, or null if this map contains no mapping for the key

See Also:

put(Object, Object)

containsKey

public boolean containsKey(Object key)

Returns true if this map contains a mapping for the specified key.

Specified by:

containsKey in interface Map<K,V>

Overrides:

containsKey in class AbstractMap<K,V>

Parameters:

Returns:

true if this map contains a mapping for the specified key.

put

public V put(K key,

Associates the specified value with the specified key in this map. If the map previously contained a mapping for the key, the old value is replaced.

Specified by:

put in interface Map<K,V>

Overrides:

put in class AbstractMap<K,V>

Parameters:

key - key with which the specified value is to be associated

value - value to be associated with the specified key

Returns:

the previous value associated with key, or null if there was no mapping for key. (A null return can also indicate that the map previously associated null with key.)

putAll

public void putAll(Map<? extends K,? extends V> m)

Copies all of the mappings from the specified map to this map. These mappings will replace any mappings that this map had for any of the keys currently in the specified map.

Overrides:

remove in class AbstractMap<K,V>

Parameters:

key - key whose mapping is to be removed from the map

Returns:

the previous value associated with key, or null if there was no mapping for key. (A null return can also indicate that the map previously associated null with key.)

Cloneable

keySet

public Set<K> keySet()

Returns a Set 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. 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.

keySet in interface Map<K,V>

Overrides:

keySet in class AbstractMap<K,V>

Returns:

a set view of the keys contained in this map

values

public Collection<V> values()

Returns a Collection view of the values contained in this map. The collection is backed by the map, so changes to the map are reflected in the collection, and vice-versa. 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.

Specified by:

values in interface Map<K,V>

Overrides:

values in class AbstractMap<K,V>

Returns:

a collection view of the values contained in this map

entrySet

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

Returns a Set 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.

Specified by:

entrySet in interface Map<K,V>

Specified by:

entrySet in class AbstractMap<K,V>

Returns:

a set view of the mappings contained in this map
