How to get keys and values from Map in Java?

As we know, map is based on key-value pair associations, so interviewer can ask you this question if you are a beginner or having less than 3 years of experience.

So lets see how we can the key and values from a Map?

In Java we have and Map.Entry method that returns a collection-view of map.

Map< string string=""> map = new HashMap<>();

 // Get keys and values
 for (Map.Entry< string string=""> entry : map.entrySet()) {
  String k = entry.getKey();
  String v = entry.getValue();
  System.out.println("Key: " + k + ", Value: " + v);
 }

 // In Java 8 we can use for each
 map.forEach((k, v) -> {
  System.out.println("Key: " + k + ", Value: " + v);
 });
