Program: How to search a value in HashMap?


Description:

Below example shows how to find whether specified value exists or not. By using containsValue() method you can find out the value existance.


Code:
package com.java2novice.hashmap;

import java.util.HashMap;

public class MyHashMapValueSearch {
	
	public static void main(String a[]){
		HashMap<String, String> hm = new HashMap<String, String>();
		//add key-value pair to hashmap
		hm.put("first", "FIRST INSERTED");
		hm.put("second", "SECOND INSERTED");
		hm.put("third","THIRD INSERTED");
		System.out.println(hm);
		if(hm.containsValue("SECOND INSERTED")){
			System.out.println("The hashmap contains value SECOND INSERTED");
		} else {
			System.out.println("The hashmap does not contains value SECOND INSERTED");
		}
		if(hm.containsValue("first")){
			System.out.println("The hashmap contains value first");
		} else {
			System.out.println("The hashmap does not contains value first");
		}
	}
}

Output:
{second=SECOND INSERTED, third=THIRD INSERTED, first=FIRST INSERTED}
The hashmap contains value SECOND INSERTED
The hashmap does not contains value first

What is java static import?
By using static imports, we can import the static members from a class rather than the classes from a given package. For example, Thread class has static sleep method, below example gives an idea:

import static java.lang.Thread;
public class MyStaticImportTest {
public static void main(String[] a) {
try{
sleep(100);
} catch(Exception ex){

}
}
}
