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() method import 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() method import 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.
