// Creating Hashtable for example

// Java Hashtable example to put object into Hashtable
// put(key, value) is used to insert object into map
companies.put("Google", "United States");
companies.put("Nokia", "Finland");
companies.put("Sony", "Japan");
// Java Hashtable example to get Object from Hashtable
// get(key) method is used to retrieve Objects from Hashtable
companies.get("Google");
// Hashtable containsKey Example
// Use containsKey(Object) method to check if an Object exits as key in
// hashtable
System.out.println("Does hashtable contains Google as key: "
+ companies.containsKey("Google"));
// Hashtable containsValue Example
// just like containsKey(), containsValue returns true if hashtable
// contains specified object as value
System.out.println("Does hashtable contains Japan as value: "
+ companies.containsValue("Japan"));
// Hashtable enumeration Example
// hashtabl.elements() return enumeration of all hashtable values
Enumeration enumeration = companies.elements();
while (enumeration.hasMoreElements()) {
System.out
.println("hashtable values: " + enumeration.nextElement());
}
// How to check if Hashtable is empty in Java
// use isEmpty method of hashtable to check emptiness of hashtable in
// Java
System.out.println("Is companies hashtable empty: "
+ companies.isEmpty());
// How to find size of Hashtable in Java
// use hashtable.size() method to find size of hashtable in Java
System.out.println("Size of hashtable in Java: " + companies.size());
// How to get all values form hashtable in Java
// you can use keySet() method to get a Set of all the keys of hashtable
// in Java
Set hashtableKeys = companies.keySet();
// you can also get enumeration of all keys by using method keys()
Enumeration hashtableKeysEnum = companies.keys();
// How to get all keys from hashtable in Java
// There are two ways to get all values form hashtalbe first by using
// Enumeration and second getting values ad Collection
Enumeration hashtableValuesEnum = companies.elements();
Collection hashtableValues = companies.values();
// Hashtable clear example
// by using clear() we can reuse an existing hashtable, it clears all
// mappings.
companies.clear();
}
}
Output:
Does hashtable contains Google as key: true
Does hashtable contains Japan as value: true
hashtable values: Finland
hashtable values: United States
hashtable values: Japan
Is companies hashtable empty: false
Size of hashtable in Java: 3
