   <script src = "https://d3js.org/d3.v4.min.js"></script>
</head>
     
<body>
    
  <script>
      
     // Creating a map
     var map = d3.map()
       
     // setting the value for the specified key string
     // into above map
     .set("a", 1).set("b", 2).set("c", 3);
  
     // Getting the value for the specified key string
     A = map.get("a"); 
     B = map.get("c"); 
      
     // Printing the output of values
     console.log(A);
     console.log(B);
  </script>
</body>
  
</html>

Example 2:




<!DOCTYPE html>
  
<html>
  
<head>
   <title>d3.map.set() function</title>
  
   <script src = "https://d3js.org/d3.v4.min.js"></script>
</head>
  
<body>
    
  <script>
      
     // Creating a map and setting the value
     // for the specified key string
     var map = d3.map().set("Geeks", 1).set("Geek", 2).set("gfg", 3);
  
     // Getting the value for the specified key string
     A = map.get("Geek"); 
     B = map.get("c"); 
      
     // Printing the output of values
     console.log(A);
     console.log(B);
  </script>
</body>
  
</html>


Output:

2
undefined

Note: In the above code, the string “c” is not present in the created map that is why undefined is printed as output.
