Properties computeIfAbsent(Key, Function) method in Java with Examples
Last Updated :
23 May, 2019
The computeIfAbsent(Key, Function) method of Properties class which allows you to compute value of a mapping for specified key if key is not already associated with a value (or is mapped to null).
- If mapping function of this method returns null, then no mapping is recorded.
- If the 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 Object computeIfAbsent?(Object key,
Function mappingFunction)
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 current (existing or computed) value associated with the specified key, or null if mapping returns null.
Exception: This method throws ConcurrentModificationException if it is detected that the remapping function modified this map.
Below programs illustrate the computeIfAbsent(Key, Function) method:
Program 1:
import java.util.*;
public class GFG {
public static void main(String[] args)
{
Properties properties = new Properties();
properties.put( "Pen" , 10 );
properties.put( "Book" , 500 );
properties.put( "Clothes" , 400 );
properties.put( "Mobile" , 5000 );
System.out.println( "Current Properties: "
+ properties.toString());
properties.computeIfAbsent( "newPen" , k -> 600 );
properties.computeIfAbsent( "newBook" , k -> 800 );
System.out.println( "New Properties: "
+ properties.toString());
}
}
|
Output:
Current Properties: {Book=500, Mobile=5000, Pen=10, Clothes=400}
New Properties: {newPen=600, Book=500, newBook=800, Mobile=5000, Pen=10, Clothes=400}
Program 2:
import java.util.*;
public class GFG {
public static void main(String[] args)
{
Properties properties = new Properties();
properties.put( 1 , "100RS" );
properties.put( 2 , "500RS" );
properties.put( 3 , "1000RS" );
System.out.println( "Current Properties: "
+ properties.toString());
properties.computeIfAbsent( 4 , k -> "600RS" );
properties.computeIfAbsent( 1 , k -> "800RS" );
System.out.println( "New Properties: "
+ properties.toString());
}
}
|
Output:
Current Properties: {3=1000RS, 2=500RS, 1=100RS}
New Properties: {4=600RS, 3=1000RS, 2=500RS, 1=100RS}
