Getting a Set View in a LinkedHashMap of Integer, Integer Pair Example

The following example shows the usage of Java LinkedHashMap entrySet() method to get a Set view of a Map. We've created a Map object of Integer,Integer pair. Then few entries are added, map is printed. Using entrySet() method, set is retrieved and printed.

package com.tutorialspoint;

import java.util.LinkedHashMap;

public class LinkedHashMapDemo {
   public static void main(String args[]) {
      
      // create hash map
      LinkedHashMap<Integer,Integer> newmap = new LinkedHashMap<>();

      // populate hash map
      newmap.put(1, 1);
      newmap.put(2, 2);
      newmap.put(3, 3); 

      System.out.println("Initial map elements: " + newmap);

      System.out.println("EntrySet view: " + newmap.entrySet());
   }    
}

Output

Let us compile and run the above program, this will produce the following result.

Initial map elements: {1=1, 2=2, 3=3}
EntrySet view: [1=1, 2=2, 3=3]

Getting a Set View in a LinkedHashMap of Integer, String Pair Example

The following example shows the usage of Java LinkedHashMap entrySet() method to get a Set view of a Map. We've created a Map object of Integer,String. Then few entries are added, map is printed. Using entrySet() method, set is retrieved and printed.

package com.tutorialspoint;

import java.util.LinkedHashMap;

public class LinkedHashMapDemo {
   public static void main(String args[]) {
      
      // create hash map
      LinkedHashMap<Integer,String> newmap = new LinkedHashMap<>();

      // populate hash map
      newmap.put(1, "tutorials");
      newmap.put(2, "point");
      newmap.put(3, "is best"); 

      System.out.println("Initial map elements: " + newmap);

      System.out.println("EntrySet view: " + newmap.entrySet());
   }    
}

Output

Let us compile and run the above program, this will produce the following result.

Initial map elements: {1=tutorials, 2=point, 3=is best}
EntrySet view: [1=tutorials, 2=point, 3=is best]

Getting a Set View in a LinkedHashMap of Integer, Object Pair Example

The following example shows the usage of Java LinkedHashMap entrySet() method to get a Set view of a Map. We've created a Map object of Integer,Student. Then few entries are added, map is printed. Using entrySet() method, set is retrieved and printed.

package com.tutorialspoint;

import java.util.LinkedHashMap;

public class LinkedHashMapDemo {
   public static void main(String args[]) {
      
      // create hash map
      LinkedHashMap<Integer,Student> newmap = new LinkedHashMap<>();

      // populate hash map
      newmap.put(1, new Student(1, "Julie"));
      newmap.put(2, new Student(2, "Robert"));
      newmap.put(3, new Student(3, "Adam"));

      System.out.println("Initial map elements: " + newmap);

      System.out.println("EntrySet view: " + newmap.entrySet());
   }    
}
class Student {
   int rollNo;
   String name;

   Student(int rollNo, String name){
      this.rollNo = rollNo;
      this.name = name;
   }

   @Override
   public String toString() {
      return "[ " + this.rollNo + ", " + this.name + " ]";
   }
}

Output

Let us compile and run the above program, this will produce the following result.

Initial map elements: {1=[ 1, Julie ], 2=[ 2, Robert ], 3=[ 3, Adam ]}
EntrySet view: [1=[ 1, Julie ], 2=[ 2, Robert ], 3=[ 3, Adam ]]
