HashTable compute() method in Java with Examples

The compute(Key, BiFunction) method of Hashtable class allows to compute a mapping for the specified key and its current mapped value (or null if there is no current mapping is found).

  • If the remapping function passed in compute() of Hashtable returns null as a return value then the mapping is removed from Hashtable(or remains absent if initially absent).
  • If the remapping function throws an exception, the exception is rethrown, and the current mapping is left unchanged.
  • During computation, modification this map using this method is not allowed.
  • The compute() method can be used to update an existing value inside Hashtable.
    For example, This mapping append string value of mapping:

    Hashtable.compute(key, (k, v) -> v.append("strValue"))
  • This method will throw a ConcurrentModificationException if the remapping function modified this map during computation.

Syntax:

public V 
       compute(K key,
             BiFunction<? super K, ? super V, ? extends V> remappingFunction)

Parameters: This method accepts two parameters:

  • key: key with which the value is to be associated.
  • remappingFunction: function to do the operation on value.

Returns: This method returns new value associated with the specified key, or null if none.

Exception: This method throws:

  • ConcurrentModificationException: if it is detected that the remapping function modified this map.

Below programs illustrate the compute(Key, BiFunction) method:

                        filter_none









Output:


hashTable: {Book=500, Mobile=5000, Pen=10, Clothes=400}
new hashTable: {Book=500, Mobile=5000, Pen=25, Clothes=280}





Output:


hashTable: {Book=500, Mobile=5000, Pen=10, Clothes=400}
new hashTable: {Book=500, Mobile=5000, Pen=25, Clothes=280}
