- All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable,Map.Entry<K,V>
- Enclosing class:
- AbstractMap<K,V>
public static class AbstractMap.SimpleEntry<K,V> extends Object implements Map.Entry<K,V>, Serializable
An Entry maintaining a key and a value. The value may be changed using thesetValuemethod. This class facilitates the process of building custom map implementations. For example, it may be convenient to return arrays ofSimpleEntryinstances in methodMap.entrySet().toArray.- Since:

Method Detail
-
getKey
public K getKey()
Returns the key corresponding to this entry.
-
getValue
public V getValue()
Returns the value corresponding to this entry.
-
setValue
public V setValue(V value)
Replaces the value corresponding to this entry with the specified value.
-
equals
public boolean equals(Object o)
Compares the specified object with this entry for equality. Returnstrueif the given object is also a map entry and the two entries represent the same mapping. More formally, two entriese1ande2represent the same mapping if(e1.getKey()==null ? e2.getKey()==null : e1.getKey().equals(e2.getKey())) && (e1.getValue()==null ? e2.getValue()==null : e1.getValue().equals(e2.getValue()))This ensures that theequalsmethod works properly across different implementations of theMap.Entryinterface.
-
hashCode
public int hashCode()
Returns the hash code value for this map entry. The hash code of a map entryeis defined to be:(e.getKey()==null ? 0 : e.getKey().hashCode()) ^ (e.getValue()==null ? 0 : e.getValue().hashCode())
This ensures thate1.equals(e2)implies thate1.hashCode()==e2.hashCode()for any two Entriese1ande2, as required by the general contract ofObject.hashCode().
-
toString
public String toString()
Returns a String representation of this map entry. This implementation returns the string representation of this entry's key followed by the equals character ("=") followed by the string representation of this entry's value.
