ENUM Map in Java

Enum Map in Java

by

Java EnumMap class is the specialized Map implementation for enum keys. It inherits Enum and AbstractMap classes.

the Parameters for java.util.EnumMap class.

K: It is the type of keys maintained by this map. V: It is the type of mapped values.

Enum Map Book Example

import java.util.*;
class Book {
int id;
String name,author,publisher;
int quantity;
public Book(int id, String name, String author, String publisher, int quantity) {
     this.id = id;
     this.name = name;
     this.author = author;
     this.publisher = publisher;
     this.quantity = quantity;
}
}
public class EnumMapExample {
   // Creating enum
    public enum Key{
        One, Two, Three
        };
public static void main(String[] args) {
      EnumMap map = new EnumMap(Key.class);
      // Creating Books
      Book b1=new Book(101,"Let us C","Yashwant         Kanetkar","BPB",8);
      Book b2=new Book(102,"Data Communications &      Networking","Forouzan","Mc Graw Hill",4);
      Book b3=new Book(103,"Operating System","Galvin","Wiley",6);
     // Adding Books to Map
      map.put(Key.One, b1);
      map.put(Key.Two, b2);
      map.put(Key.Three, b3);
     // Traversing EnumMap
     for(Map.Entry entry:map.entrySet()){
      Book b=entry.getValue();
      System.out.println(b.id+" "+b.name+" "+b.author+" "+b.publisher+" "+b.quantity);
     }
}
}

EnumSet class

Java EnumSet class is the specialized Set implementation for use with enum types. It inherits AbstractSet class and implements the Set interface.

Enum Set Example

import java.util.*;
enum days {
    SUNDAY, MONDAY, TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY, THURSDAY, FRIDAY, SATURDAY
}
public class EnumSetExample {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
    Set set = EnumSet.of(days.TUESDAY, days.WEDNESDAY);
    // Traversing elements
    Iterator iter = set.iterator();
    while (iter.hasNext())
        System.out.println(iter.next());
    }
}

Enum starting with number

Java does not allow the name of enum to start with number like 100A, 25K. In that case, we can append the code with _ (underscore) or any allowed pattern and make check of it.

Enum with name at beginning

public enum BookCode {
10A("Simon Haykin", "Communication System"), 
_42B("Stefan Hakins", "A Brief History of Time"), 
E1("Sedra Smith", "Electronics Circuits"); 

private String author; 
private String title; 

BookCode(String author, String title) { 
   this.author = author; 
   this.title = title; 
} 
public String getName() { 
   String name = name(); 
   if (name.charAt(0) == '') {
       name = name.substring(1, name.length());
   }
   return name;
}
public static BookCode of(String code) {
    if (Character.isDigit(code.charAt(0))) {
       code = "_" + code;
     }
     return BookCode.valueOf(code);
   }
}

Hashtable

Hashtable is a class in Java collections which implements Map interface and extends the Dictionary Class

Contains only unique elements and its synchronized

import java.util.*;
public class HashtableDemo {
      public static void main(String args[]) {
      // create and populate hash table
      Hashtable map = new Hashtable();
      map.put(101,"C Language");
      map.put(102, "Domain");
      map.put(104, "Databases");
      System.out.println("Values before remove: "+ map);
      // Remove value for key 102
       map.remove(102);
       System.out.println("Values after remove: "+ map);
       }
}
