This method is used to associate the specified value with the specified key in this map.
Syntax:
V put(K key, V value)
Parameters: This method has two arguments, key and value where key is the left argument and value is the corresponding value of the key in the map.
Returns: This method returns returns previous value associated with the key if present, else return -1.
Below programs show the implementation of int put() method.
Program 1:
// Java code to show the implementation of // put method in Map interface import java.util.*; public class GfG { // Driver code public static void main(String[] args) { // Initializing a Map of type HashMap Map<Integer, String> map = new HashMap<>(); map.put( 1 , "One" ); map.put( 3 , "Three" ); map.put( 5 , "Five" ); map.put( 7 , "Seven" ); map.put( 9 , "Ninde" ); System.out.println(map); } } |
{1=One, 3=Three, 5=Five, 7=Seven, 9=Ninde}
Program 2: Below is the code to show implementation of put().
// Java code to show the implementation of // put method in Map interface import java.util.*; public class GfG { // Driver code public static void main(String[] args) { // Initializing a Map of type HashMap Map<String, String> map = new HashMap<>(); map.put( "1" , "One" ); map.put( "3" , "Three" ); map.put( "5" , "Five" ); map.put( "7" , "Seven" ); map.put( "9" , "Ninde" ); System.out.println(map); } } |
{1=One, 3=Three, 5=Five, 7=Seven, 9=Ninde}
