The get(key) method of Properties class is used to get the value mapped to this key, passed as the parameter, in this Properties object. This method will fetch the corresponding value to this key, if present, and return it. If there is no such mapping, then it returns null.
Syntax:
public Object get(Object key)
Parameters: This method accepts a parameter key whose mapping is to be checked in this Properties object.
Returns: This method returns the value fetched corresponding to this key, if present. If there is no such mapping, then it returns null.
Below programs illustrate the get(key) method:
Program 1:
// Java program to demonstrate// get(key) method. import java.util.*; public class GFG { // Main method public static void main(String[] args) { // Create a properties and add some values Properties properties = new Properties(); properties.put("Pen", 10); properties.put("Book", 500); properties.put("Clothes", 400); properties.put("Mobile", 5000); // Print Properties details System.out.println("Properties: " + properties.toString()); // Getting the value of Pen System.out.println("Value of Pen: " + properties.get("Pen")); // Getting the value of Phone System.out.println("Value of Phone: " + properties.get("Phone")); }} |
Output:
Properties: {Book=500, Mobile=5000, Pen=10, Clothes=400}
Value of Pen: 10
Value of Phone: null
Program 2:
// Java program to demonstrate// get(key) method. import java.util.*; public class GFG { // Main method public static void main(String[] args) { // Create a properties and add some values Properties properties = new Properties(); properties.put(1, "100RS"); properties.put(2, "500RS"); properties.put(3, "1000RS"); // Print Properties details System.out.println("Current Properties: " + properties.toString()); // Getting the value of 1 System.out.println("Value of 1: " + properties.get(1)); // Getting the value of 5 System.out.println("Value of 5: " + properties.get(5)); }} |
Output:
Current Properties: {3=1000RS, 2=500RS, 1=100RS}
Value of 1: 100RS
Value of 5: null
