Below programs show the implementation of int isEmpty() method.

Program 1:




// Java code to show the implementation of
// isEmpty 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());
  
        // Checking if the Properties is empty
        System.out.println("Is Properties empty: "
                           + properties.isEmpty());
    }
}


Output:

Properties: {Book=500, Mobile=5000, Pen=10, Clothes=400}
Is Properties empty: false

Program 2:




// Java program to demonstrate
// isEmpty() 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();
  
        // Print Properties details
        System.out.println("Current Properties: "
                           + properties.toString());
  
        // Checking if the Properties is empty
        System.out.println("Is Properties empty: "
                           + properties.isEmpty());
    }
}


Output:

Current Properties: {}
Is Properties empty: true
