两大集合接口之——Map

让我们通过读Map接口的源码，来了解一下Map系列集合的一些特性和方法：

public interface Map<K,V>

从接口定义可以看出，Map中的元素是以K-V键值对的形式存在的

int size();
boolean isEmpty();
boolean containsKey(Object key);
boolean containsValue(Object value);
V get(Object key);
V put(K key, V value);
V remove(Object key);
void putAll(Map<? extends K, ? extends V> m);
void clear();
Set<K> keySet();
Collection<V> values();
Set<Map.Entry<K, V>> entrySet();
boolean equals(Object o);
int hashCode();

default V getOrDefault(Object key, V defaultValue) {
        V v;
        return (((v = get(key)) != null) || containsKey(key))
            ? v
            : defaultValue;
}

//"for each"循环遍历的是Entry结构
default void forEach(BiConsumer<? super K, ? super V> action) {
        Objects.requireNonNull(action);
        for (Map.Entry<K, V> entry : entrySet()) {
            K k;
            V v;
            try {
                k = entry.getKey();
                v = entry.getValue();
            } catch(IllegalStateException ise) {
                // this usually means the entry is no longer in the map.
                throw new ConcurrentModificationException(ise);
            }
            action.accept(k, v);
        }
}

default void replaceAll(BiFunction<? super K, ? super V, ? extends V> function) {...}

default V putIfAbsent(K key, V value) {
        V v = get(key);
        if (v == null) {
            v = put(key, value);
        }

        return v;
}

default boolean remove(Object key, Object value) {
        Object curValue = get(key);
        if (!Objects.equals(curValue, value) ||
            (curValue == null && !containsKey(key))) {
            return false;
        }
        remove(key);
        return true;
}

default boolean replace(K key, V oldValue, V newValue) {
        Object curValue = get(key);
        if (!Objects.equals(curValue, oldValue) ||
            (curValue == null && !containsKey(key))) {
            return false;
        }
        put(key, newValue);
        return true;
}

default V replace(K key, V value) {
        V curValue;
        if (((curValue = get(key)) != null) || containsKey(key)) {
            curValue = put(key, value);
        }
        return curValue;
}

default V computeIfAbsent(K key, Function<? super K, ? extends V> mappingFunction){...}

default V merge(K key, V value, BiFunction<? super V, ? super V, ? extends V> remappingFunction) {
        Objects.requireNonNull(remappingFunction);
        Objects.requireNonNull(value);
        V oldValue = get(key);
        V newValue = (oldValue == null) ? value :
                   remappingFunction.apply(oldValue, value);
        if(newValue == null) {
            remove(key);
        } else {
            put(key, newValue);
        }
        return newValue;
}

这些方法的功能从字面上看很好理解，下面重点看下这个方法及其注释：

V put(K key, V value);

* @param key key with which the specified value is to be associated
* @param value value to be associated with the specified key
* @return the previous value associated with <tt>key</tt>, or
* <tt>null</tt> if there was no mapping for <tt>key</tt>.
* (A <tt>null</tt> return can also indicate that the map
* previously associated <tt>null</tt> with <tt>key</tt>,
* if the implementation supports <tt>null</tt> values.)

从这个方法可以看出，Map里不会出现重复的key，因为调用put方法时如果key存在，就会用新value替换原value，并返回原value
最后看一下Map的Entry数据结构：

interface Entry<K,V>

K getKey();
V getValue();
V setValue(V value);
boolean equals(Object o);
int hashCode();
public static <K extends Comparable<? super K>, V> Comparator<Map.Entry<K,V>> comparingByKey(){...}
