HashMap computeIfAbsent() method in Java with Examples

The computeIfAbsent(Key, Function) method of HashMap class is used to compute value for a given key using the given mapping function, if key is not already associated with a value (or is mapped to null) and enter that computed value in Hashmap else null.

  • If mapping function of this method returns null, then no mapping is recorded for that key.
  • At time of computation if remapping function throws an exception, the exception is rethrown, and the no mapping is recorded.
  • During computation, modification this map using this method is not allowed.
  • This method will throw a ConcurrentModificationException if the remapping function modified this map during computation.

Syntax:

public V 
       computeIfAbsent(K key,
             Function<? super K, ? extends V> remappingFunction)

Parameters: This method accepts two parameters:

  • key : key for which we want to compute value using mapping.
  • remappingFunction : function to do the operation on value.

Returns: This method returns current (existing or computed) value associated with the specified key, or null if mapping returns null.

Below programs illustrate the computeIfAbsent(Key, Function) method:

Output:


HashMap:
 {key1=10000, key2=55000, key3=44300, key4=53200}
New HashMap:
 {key1=10000, key2=55000, key5=35000, key6=68000, key3=44300, key4=53200}
