The java.util.IdentityHashMap.containsKey() method is used to check whether a particular key is being mapped into the IdentityHashMap or not. It takes the key element as a parameter and returns True if that element is mapped in the map.
Syntax:
Identity_HashMap.containsKey(key_element)
Parameters: The method takes just one parameter key_element that refers to the key whose mapping is supposed to be checked inside a map.
Return Value: The method returns boolean true if the presence of the key is detected else false .
Below programs are used to illustrate the working of java.util.IdentityHashMap.containsKey() Method:
Program 1: Mapping String Values to Integer Keys.
// Java code to illustrate the containsKey() methodimport java.util.*; public class Identity_Hash_Map_Demo { public static void main(String[] args) { // Creating an empty IdentityHashMap IdentityHashMap<Integer, String> identity_hash = new IdentityHashMap<Integer, String>(); // Mapping string values to int keys identity_hash.put(10, "Geeks"); identity_hash.put(15, "4"); identity_hash.put(20, "Geeks"); identity_hash.put(25, "Welcomes"); identity_hash.put(30, "You"); // Displaying the IdentityHashMap System.out.println("Initial Mappings are: " + identity_hash); // Checking for the key_element '20' System.out.println("Is the key '20' present? " + identity_hash.containsKey(20)); // Checking for the key_element '5' System.out.println("Is the key '5' present? " + identity_hash.containsKey(5)); }} |
Initial Mappings are: {10=Geeks, 30=You, 20=Geeks, 25=Welcomes, 15=4}
Is the key '20' present? true
Is the key '5' present? false
Program 2: Mapping Integer Values to String Keys.
// Java code to illustrate the containsKey() methodimport java.util.*; public class Identity_Hash_Map_Demo { public static void main(String[] args) { // Creating an empty IdentityHashMap IdentityHashMap<String, Integer> identity_hash = new IdentityHashMap<String, Integer>(); // Mapping int values to string keys identity_hash.put("Geeks", 10); identity_hash.put("4", 15); identity_hash.put("Geeks", 20); identity_hash.put("Welcomes", 25); identity_hash.put("You", 30); // Displaying the IdentityHashMap System.out.println("Initial Mappings are: " + identity_hash); // Checking for the key_element 'Welcomes' System.out.println("Is the key 'Welcomes' present? " + identity_hash.containsKey("Welcomes")); // Checking for the key_element 'World' System.out.println("Is the key 'World' present? " + identity_hash.containsKey("World")); }} |
Initial Mappings are: {Geeks=20, Welcomes=25, You=30, 4=15}
Is the key 'Welcomes' present? true
Is the key 'World' present? false
Note: The same operation can be performed with any type of Mappings with variation and combination of different data types.
