WeakHashMap get() Method in Java

The java.util.WeakHashMap.get() method of WeakHashMap class is used to retrieve or fetch the value mapped by a particular key mentioned in the parameter. It returns NULL when the map contains no such mapping for the key.

Syntax:

WeakHashMap.get(Object key_element)

Parameter: The method takes one parameter key_element of object type and refers to the key whose associated value is supposed to be fetched.



Return Value: The method returns the value associated with the key_element in the parameter.

Below programs illustrates the working of java.util.WeakHashMap.get() method:

        // Creating an empty WeakHashMap
        Map<Integer, String> weak_hash = new WeakHashMap<Integer, String>();
  
        // Mapping string values to int keys
        weak_hash.put(10, "Geeks");
        weak_hash.put(15, "4");
        weak_hash.put(20, "Geeks");
        weak_hash.put(25, "Welcomes");
        weak_hash.put(30, "You");
  
        // Displaying the WeakHashMap
        System.out.println("Initial Mappings are: " + weak_hash);
  
        // Getting the value of 25
        System.out.println("The Value is: " + weak_hash.get(25));
  
        // Getting the value of 10
        System.out.println("The Value is: " + weak_hash.get(10));
    }
}

                        filter_none









Output:


Initial Mappings are: {30=You, 15=4, 10=Geeks, 25=Welcomes, 20=Geeks}
The Value is: Welcomes
The Value is: Geeks

                        filter_none









Output:


Initial Mappings are: {Welcomes=25, 4=15, You=30, Geeks=20}
The Value is: 20
The Value is: 30





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