Java Program to Read Elements using Enumeration in Hashtable

The enumeration in java is one of the predefined interfaces, whose object is used for retrieving the data from collections framework variable(like Stack, Vector, HashTable, etc.) in a forward direction only and not in the backward direction.

HashTable is a class The hash table class implements a Map, which maps keys to values. It stores the key/value pair in the hash table. In this data structure we specify an object that is used as a key, and the value we want to associate with that key. The key is then hashed, and the resulting hash code is used as the index at which the value is stored within the table. HashMap doesn’t provide any Enumeration, while HashTable provides not fail-fast Enumeration. The hierarchy of the hash table is as follows:

Syntax:

public class Hashtable<K,V> extends Dictionary<K,V> implements Map<K,V>, Cloneable, Serializable

Parameters:

• K: Keys inserted.
• V: Values assigned to the keys.

In order to create HashTable, import hash Table from java.util.Hashtable where, K, V are of data types like integer, string, float, etc.

Syntax: Creating hash Table

Hashtable<K, V> ht = new Hashtable<K, V>();

Example

Java

// Java Program to read elements
// using enumeration in hashtable

// Importing enumeration class
import java.util.Enumeration;
// Importing hash table
import java.util.Hashtable;

// Class
public class GFG {

    // Main driver method
    public static void main(String a[])
    {

        // Creating hash table
        Hashtable<String, String> hm
            = new Hashtable<String, String>();

        // Add key-value pair to Hashtable
        // Custom inputs
        hm.put("Name", "Bahubali");
        hm.put("College", "Amarnath");
        hm.put("Department", "Vedics");

        // enum
        Enumeration<String> keys = hm.keys();

        // Condition check whether element(K,V) is present
        // using hasMoreElements()
        while (keys.hasMoreElements()) {
            String key = keys.nextElement();

            // Print corresponding key-value pair
            System.out.println("Value of " + key
                               + " is: " + hm.get(key));
        }

        System.out.println();

        // Creating a new Hashtable
        Hashtable<String, String> hm1
            = new Hashtable<String, String>();

        // Adding key-value pair to Hashtable
        // Custom inputs
        hm1.put("Name", "Ravaan");
        hm1.put("College", "SriLanka");
        hm1.put("Department", "CS");

        // Enum
        Enumeration<String> keys1 = hm1.keys();

        // Condition check whether element(K,V) is present
        // using hasMoreElements()
        while (keys1.hasMoreElements()) {
            String key = keys1.nextElement();

            // Print corresponding key-value pair
            System.out.println("Value of " + key
                               + " is: " + hm1.get(key));
        }

        System.out.println();

        // Creating a new Hashtable
        Hashtable<String, String> hm2
            = new Hashtable<String, String>();

        // Adding key-value pair to Hashtable
        // Custom inputs
        hm2.put("Name", "Kattappa");
        hm2.put("College", "Beardo");
        hm2.put("Department", "War");

        /// enum
        Enumeration<String> keys2 = hm2.keys();

        // Condition check whether element(K,V) is present
        // using hasMoreElements()
        while (keys2.hasMoreElements()) {
            String key = keys2.nextElement();

            // Print corresponding key-value pair
            System.out.println("Value of " + key
                               + " is: " + hm2.get(key));
        }
    }
}
