SortedMap conatinsKey() method in Java with Examples

The containsKey() method is used to check whether a particular key is being mapped into the SortedMap or not. It takes the key element as a parameter and returns True if that element is mapped in the map.

Syntax:

boolean containsKey(key_element)

Parameters: The method takes just one parameter key_element that refers to the key whose mapping is supposed to be checked inside a SortedMap.

Return Value: The method returns boolean true if the presence of the key is detected else false .

Note: The containsKey() method in SortedMap is inherited from the Map interface in Java.

Below programs are used to illustrate the working of containsKey() Method:

Program 1: Mapping String Values to Integer Keys.

// Java code to illustrate
// the containsKey() method

import java.util.*;

public class Map_Demo {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {

        // Creating an empty SortedMap
        SortedMap<Integer, String> map
            = new TreeMap<Integer, String>();

        // Mapping string values to int keys
        map.put(10, "Geeks");
        map.put(15, "4");
        map.put(20, "Geeks");
        map.put(25, "Welcomes");
        map.put(30, "You");

        // Displaying the SortedMap
        System.out.println(
            "Initial Mappings are: "
            + map);

        // Checking for the key_element '20'
        System.out.println("Is the key '20' present? "
                           + map.containsKey(20));

        // Checking for the key_element '5'
        System.out.println("Is the key '5' present? "
                           + map.containsKey(5));
    }
}

Output:

Initial Mappings are:
 {10=Geeks, 15=4, 20=Geeks, 25=Welcomes, 30=You}
Is the key '20' present? true
Is the key '5' present? false

Program 2: Mapping Integer Values to String Keys.

// Java code to illustrate
// the containsKey() method

import java.util.*;

public class Map_Demo {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {

        // Creating an empty SortedMap
        SortedMap<String, Integer> map
            = new TreeMap<String, Integer>();

        // Mapping int values to string keys
        map.put("Geeks", 10);
        map.put("4", 15);
        map.put("Geeks", 20);
        map.put("Welcomes", 25);
        map.put("You", 30);

        // Displaying the Map
        System.out.println(
            "Initial Mappings are: "
            + map);

        // Checking for the key_element 'Welcomes'
        System.out.println(
            "Is the key 'Welcomes' present? "
            + map.containsKey("Welcomes"));

        // Checking for the key_element 'World'
        System.out.println(
            "Is the key 'World' present? "
            + map.containsKey("World"));
    }
}

Output:

Initial Mappings are: {4=15, Geeks=20, Welcomes=25, You=30}
Is the key 'Welcomes' present? true
Is the key 'World' present? false

Note: The same operation can be performed with any type of Mappings with variation and combination of different data types.
