This interface represents a single mapping, or association, between a key object and a value object in a Map . Like Map itself, Map.Entry has been made generic in Java 5.0 and defines the same type variables that Map does. The enTRySet( ) method of a Map returns a Set of Map.Entry objects that represent the set of mappings in the map. Use the iterator( ) method of that Set to enumerate these Map.Entry objects. Use getKey( ) and getValue( ) to obtain the key and value objects for the entry. Use the optionally supported setValue( ) method to change the value of an entry. This method throws a java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException if it is not supported by the implementation. public interface Map.Entry<K,V> { // Public Instance Methods boolean equals (Object o ); K getKey ( ); V getValue ( ); int hashCode ( ); V setValue (V value ); } Passed ToLinkedHashMap.removeEldestEntry( ) |
