java.util.AbstractMap.SimpleEntry<K,V>
- Type Parameters:
K
- the type of keyV
- the type of the value
- 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 the
setValue
method. Instances of
this class are not associated with any map nor with any
map's entry-set view.- API Note:
- This class facilitates the process of building custom map
implementations. For example, it may be convenient to return
arrays of
SimpleEntry
instances in methodMap.entrySet().toArray

Constructor Summary
ConstructorDescriptionSimpleEntry
(Map.Entry<? extends K, ? extends V> entry) Creates an entry representing the same mapping as the specified entry.SimpleEntry
(K key, V value) Creates an entry representing a mapping from the specified key to the specified value. -

equals
Compares the specified object with this entry for equality. Returnstrue
if the given object is also a map entry and the two entries represent the same mapping. More formally, two entriese1
ande2
represent 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 theequals
method works properly across different implementations of theMap.Entry
interface. -
hashCode
public int hashCode()Returns the hash code value for this map entry. The hash code of a map entrye
is 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 Entriese1
ande2
, as required by the general contract ofObject.hashCode()
. -
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.
