Getting Size of a WeakHashMap of Integer, Integer Pairs Example

The following example shows the usage of Java WeakHashMap size() method to get a size of a Map. We've created a Map object of Integer,Integer pairs. Then few entries are added, map is printed. Using size() method, size of map is retrieved and printed.

package com.tutorialspoint;

import java.util.WeakHashMap;

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

      // 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("Size of the map: " + newmap.size());
   }
}

Output

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

Initial map elements: {3=3, 2=2, 1=1}
Size of the map: 3

Getting Size of a WeakHashMap of Integer, Object Pairs Example

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

package com.tutorialspoint;

import java.util.WeakHashMap;

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

      // 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("Size of the map: " + newmap.size());
   }
}
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: {3=[ 3, Adam ], 2=[ 2, Robert ], 1=[ 1, Julie ]}
Size of the map: 3
