Method Detail

containsKey

boolean containsKey(Object key)

Returns true if this map contains an entry for the specified key.

Parameters:

key - The specified key.

Returns:

true if this map contains an entry for the specified key.

get

V get(Object key)

Returns the value for the specified key, or null if this map does not contain this key.

Parameters:

key - The specified key.

Returns:

The value for the specified key.

put

V put(K key,
      V value)

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 by the specified value.

Parameters:

key - The specified key.

value - The value to associate with the key.

Returns:

Previous value associated with key or null if there was no mapping for key.

set

void set(K key,
         V value)

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 by the specified value.

This method is preferred to put(Object, Object) if the old value is not needed.

Parameters:

key - The specified key.

value - The value to associate with the key.

putIfAbsent

V putIfAbsent(K key,
              V value)

If the specified key is not already associated with a value, associate it with the given value. This is equivalent to

   if (!map.containsKey(key))
       return map.put(key, value);
   else
       return map.get(key);

except that the action is performed atomically.

Parameters:

key - The specified key.

value - The value to associate with the key when there is no previous value.

Returns:

The previous value associated with key, or null if there was no mapping for key.

replace

V replace(K key,
          V value)

Replaces the entry for a key only if it is currently mapped to some value. This is equivalent to

   if (map.containsKey(key)) {
       return map.put(key, value);
   } else return null;

except that the action is performed atomically.

Parameters:

key - The specified key.

value - The value to replace the previous value.

Returns:

The previous value associated with key, or null if there was no mapping for key.

replace

boolean replace(K key,
                V oldValue,
                V newValue)

Replaces the entry for a key only if currently mapped to a given value. This is equivalent to

   if (map.containsKey(key) && map.get(key).equals(oldValue)) {
       map.put(key, newValue);
       return true;
   } else return false;

except that the action is performed atomically.

Parameters:

key - The specified key.

oldValue - Replace the key value if it is the old value.

newValue - The new value to replace the old value.

Returns:

true if the value was replaced.

remove

V remove(Object key)

Removes the mapping for a key from this map if it is present.

The map will not contain a mapping for the specified key once the call returns.

Parameters:

key - Remove the mapping for this key.

Returns:

The previous value associated with key, or null if there was no mapping for key.

delete

void delete(Object key)

Removes the mapping for a key from this map if it is present.

The map will not contain a mapping for the specified key once the call returns.

*

This method is preferred to remove(Object) if the old value is not needed.

Parameters:

key - Remove the mapping for this key.

remove

boolean remove(Object key,
               Object value)

Removes the entry for a key only if currently mapped to a given value. This is equivalent to

   if (map.containsKey(key) && map.get(key).equals(value)) {
       map.remove(key);
       return true;
   } else return false;

except that the action is performed atomically.

Parameters:

key - The specified key.

value - Remove the key if it has this value.

Returns:

true if the value was removed.

isEmpty

boolean isEmpty()

Returns true if this map contains no entries.

Returns:

true if this map contains no entries.

size

int size()

Returns the number of entries in this map.

Returns:

the number of entries in this map.
