Program to demonstrate "HashMap" class in Java's Collection Framework

The Map interface maps unique keys to values. A key is an object that you use to retrieve a value at a later date. Given a key and a value, you can store the value in a Map object. After the value is stored, you can retrieve it by using its key. It stores value in pairs i.e key and value we can store data using put( ) method and fetch specific data using get( ) method we can print all data using entrySet( ) method. It has following methods:
  1. void clear( ) : Removes all key/value pairs from the invoking map.
  2. boolean containsKey(Object k) : Returns true if the invoking map contains k as a key. Otherwise, returns false.
  3. boolean containsValue(Object v) : Returns true if the map contains v as a value. Otherwise, returns false.
  4. Set entrySet( ) : Returns a Set that contains the entries in the map.
  5. boolean equals(Object obj) : Returns true if obj is a Map and contains the same entries. Otherwise, returns false.
  6. Object get(Object k) : Returns the value associated with the key k.
  7. Object put(Object k, Object v) : Puts an entry in the invoking map, overwriting any previous value associated with the key.
  8. Object remove(Object k) : Removes the entry whose key equals k.
  9. int size( ) : Returns the number of key/value pairs in the map.
  10. Collection values( ) : Returns a collection containing the values in the map.

PROGRAM
import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.Map;

class MapDemo {

 public static void main(String[] args) {
  
  Map<String,String> q = new HashMap<String,String>();
  q.put("India","Delhi");
  q.put("Srilanka","Columbo");
  q.put("WestIndies","Jamayca");
  q.put("Australia","Sydney");
  
  for(Map.Entry<String,String> r :q.entrySet())
  {
   System.out.println(r.getKey() + "  " + r.getValue());
  }

  System.out.println("Get Value For Srilanka " + q.get("Srilanka"));
 }
}
OUTPUT 
C:\>javac MapDemo.java
C:\>java MapDemo
Srilanka  Columbo
WestIndies  Jamayca
Australia  Sydney
India  Delhi
Get Value For Srilanka Columbo

Program to define a class 'employee' with data members as empid, name and salary. Accept data for 5 objects using Array of objects and print it.

This program demonstrates you the array of objects.  Array of object  is the collection of objects of the same class. The given syntax will define an array of reference therefore assign object to individual reference in the array to declare the array of object. The syntax to define array of object is: <class-name> <array-name> [size]; For example, the following statement will define an array of object having size 6 references to the class  Box . Box b[6]; For creating an array of objects (allocating memory) you have to write down the following statements for (int i=0; i<6; i++) { b[i] = new Box(); // Assigning object to individual reference in the array. } PROGRAM import java.util.Scanner; public class Employee { int empid; String name; float salary; public void getInput() { Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in); System.out.print("Enter the empid :: "); empid = in.nextInt(); System.out.print("Enter the name :: ");

Define a class Student with four data members such as name, roll no.,sub1, and sub2. Define appropriate methods to initialize and display the values of data members. Also calculate total marks and percentage scored by student.

In this program, first we first create a class  Student  which have data members  name, roll_no, sub1, sub2  and one method to read data here  getdata( )  method and show the result here  show( )  method. We have used  java.io.BufferedReader  class to read data from keyboard at runtime. Then we have created an object of Student class in  StudentDemo  class and called the methods of Student class. When you compile the code using  javac StudentDemo.java  command two .class files will be created which are  Student.class  and  StudentDemo.class , this has the advantage that you can reuse your .class file somewhere in other projects without compiling the code again. You can create as many classes as you want but writing many classes in a single file is not recommended as it makes code difficult to read rather you can create single file for every class. You can also group classes in packages for easily managing your code. PROGRAM import java.lang.*; import java.io.*; class Student {

Program to input age from user and throw user-defined exception if entered age is negative

An  Exception  is an abnormal condition that arises in a code sequence at run time. Exceptions are run time errors. Exceptions generated by the Java are related to the fundamental errors that violate the Java language constraints. All exception classes are subtypes of the  java.lang.Exception  class. The exception class is a subclass of the  Throwable  class. Java defines several exception classes inside the standard package  java.lang . Some examples of exceptions are  ArithmeticException, ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException, IndexOutOfBoundsException, NullPointerException, NumberFormatException, ClassNotFoundException,etc. When Java Interpreter caught an error such as divide by zero, the interpreter creates an exception object and throws it to inform that an error has occurred. Java has its own exception handling mechanism. It performs the following task: Find the problem –  Hit  the exception Inform that an error has occurred –  Throw  the exception Receives the error infor
