Notes: How to iterate a map in Java

Reference: http://blog.csdn.net/tjcyjd/article/details/11111401

There are four ways to iterate a map in Java. 

1) Use the .entrySet() function

Map<Integer, Integer> map = new HashMap<Integer, Integer>();  
  
for (Map.Entry<Integer, Integer> entry : map.entrySet()) {  
  
    System.out.println("Key = " + entry.getKey() + ", Value = " + entry.getValue());  
  
}  

2) Use the keySet and values functions:

Map<Integer, Integer> map = new HashMap<Integer, Integer>();  
  
//遍历map中的键  
  
for (Integer key : map.keySet()) {  
  
    System.out.println("Key = " + key);  
  
}  
  
//遍历map中的值  
  
for (Integer value : map.values()) {  
  
    System.out.println("Value = " + value);  
  
}  

3) Use the iterator: 

Map<Integer, Integer> map = new HashMap<Integer, Integer>();  
  
Iterator<Map.Entry<Integer, Integer>> entries = map.entrySet().iterator();  
  
while (entries.hasNext()) {  
  
    Map.Entry<Integer, Integer> entry = entries.next();  
  
    System.out.println("Key = " + entry.getKey() + ", Value = " + entry.getValue());  
  
}  

Use iterator, you can delete the entities when you are iterating. If you don't wish to do so, you may use the first way to iterate. 

4) Use the key get from keySet() and use get function to get the values, this is the least efficient way:

Map<Integer, Integer> map = new HashMap<Integer, Integer>();  
  
for (Integer key : map.keySet()) {  
  
    Integer value = map.get(key);  
  
    System.out.println("Key = " + key + ", Value = " + value);  
  
}
