Examples of using Default Methods introduced in Java 8 in Map interface
Returns the value mapped to the key, or if the key is not present, returns the default value
Map<Integer, String> map = new HashMap<>();
map.put(1, "First element");
map.get(1); // => First element
map.get(2); // => null
map.getOrDefault(2, "Default element"); // => Default element
Allows to perform the operation specified in the ‘action’ on each Map Entry
Map<Integer, String> map = new HashMap<Integer, String>();
map.put(1, "one");
map.put(2, "two");
map.put(3, "three");
map.forEach((key, value) -> System.out.println("Key: "+key+ " :: Value: "+value));
// Key: 1 :: Value: one
// Key: 2 :: Value: two
// Key: 3 :: Value: three
Will replace with new-value only if key is present
Map<String, Integer> map = new HashMap<String, Integer>();
map.put("john", 20);
map.put("paul", 30);
map.put("peter", 40);
map.replaceAll((key,value)->value+10); //{john=30, paul=40, peter=50}
Key-Value pair is added to the map, if the key is not present or mapped to null
Map<String, Integer> map = new HashMap<String, Integer>();
map.put("john", 20);
map.put("paul", 30);
map.put("peter", 40);
map.putIfAbsent("kelly", 50); //{john=20, paul=30, peter=40, kelly=50}
Removes the key only if its associated with the given value
Map<String, Integer> map = new HashMap<String, Integer>();
map.put("john", 20);
map.put("paul", 30);
map.put("peter", 40);
map.remove("peter",40); //{john=30, paul=40}
If the key is present then the value is replaced by new-value.
If the key is not present, does nothing.
Map<String, Integer> map = new HashMap<String, Integer>();
map.put("john", 20);
map.put("paul", 30);
map.put("peter", 40);
map.replace("peter",50); //{john=20, paul=30, peter=50}
map.replace("jack",60); //{john=20, paul=30, peter=50}
