S… Speaker 1 (13- The Map Interface)

So as I told you in the last video,

0:05

S… Speaker 1 (13- The Map Interface)

in Java we have an interface called map.

0:08

S… Speaker 1 (13- The Map Interface)

This interface is declared in the java .util package and it's

0:12

S… Speaker 1 (13- The Map Interface)

part of the collections framework,

0:13

S… Speaker 1 (13- The Map Interface)

but it's not part of this hierarchy that you saw earlier.

0:15

S… Speaker 1 (13- The Map Interface)

So it's not a collection,

0:17

S… Speaker 1 (13- The Map Interface)

it's not an iterable,

0:18

S… Speaker 1 (13- The Map Interface)

it's something entirely different.

0:20

S… Speaker 1 (13- The Map Interface)

Now, as you can see over here,

0:21

S… Speaker 1 (13- The Map Interface)

this interface has two generic type parameters,

0:24

S… Speaker 1 (13- The Map Interface)

K and V,

0:25

S… Speaker 1 (13- The Map Interface)

which are short for key and value.

0:27

S… Speaker 1 (13- The Map Interface)

So with a map,

0:28

S… Speaker 1 (13- The Map Interface)

you're essentially mapping a key to a value.

0:30

S… Speaker 1 (13- The Map Interface)

This value could be an object like a customer,

0:33

S… Speaker 1 (13- The Map Interface)

and this key is something that we use to look up that object,

0:36

S… Speaker 1 (13- The Map Interface)

like look up that customer.

0:37

S… Speaker 1 (13- The Map Interface)

Let's say you want to look up customers by their email.

0:40

S… Speaker 1 (13- The Map Interface)

So we create a map of string to

0:44

S… Speaker 1 (13- The Map Interface)

customer.

0:45

S… Speaker 1 (13- The Map Interface)

So our keys are going to be strings and our values are going to be customer objects.

0:49

S… Speaker 1 (13- The Map Interface)

We call this map and set it to a new hash map.

0:53

S… Speaker 2 (13- The Map Interface)

Again,

0:54

S… Speaker 1 (13- The Map Interface)

this interface has many different implementations,

0:57

S… Speaker 1 (13- The Map Interface)

but the one that you use most of the time is the hash map class.

1:00

S… Speaker 1 (13- The Map Interface)

Now let me create a couple of customer objects over here.

1:03

S… Speaker 1 (13- The Map Interface)

So C1,

1:04

S… Speaker 1 (13- The Map Interface)

we set it to a new customer.

1:06

S… Speaker 1 (13- The Map Interface)

Here we should pass a name.

1:08

S… Speaker 1 (13- The Map Interface)

Let's say A.

1:10

S… Speaker 1 (13- The Map Interface)

And then an email,

1:11

S… Speaker 1 (13- The Map Interface)

let's say E1.

1:12

S… Speaker 1 (13- The Map Interface)

I'm going to duplicate this line.

1:14

S… Speaker 1 (13- The Map Interface)

Let's create the second customer call it B with

1:18

S… Speaker 1 (13- The Map Interface)

E2 as the email.

1:20

S… Speaker 1 (13- The Map Interface)

Now we want to store these customers in our hash map.

1:24

S… Speaker 1 (13- The Map Interface)

So we type map .put,

1:27

S… Speaker 1 (13- The Map Interface)

this method has two parameters,

1:28

S… Speaker 1 (13- The Map Interface)

a key which is a string and a value which is a customer.

1:32

S… Speaker 1 (13- The Map Interface)

So, here I'm going to pass c1 .getEmail.

1:35

S… Speaker 1 (13- The Map Interface)

I'm going to use the email of this customer as a key to look it up,

1:39

S… Speaker 1 (13- The Map Interface)

and then I pass the customer object itself.

1:42

S… Speaker 1 (13- The Map Interface)

Similarly,

1:43

S… Speaker 1 (13- The Map Interface)

we add the second customer.

1:45

S… Speaker 2 (13- The Map Interface)

Now,

1:48

S… Speaker 1 (13- The Map Interface)

to get a customer from this hash map,

1:50

S… Speaker 1 (13- The Map Interface)

we type map .get,

1:51

S… Speaker 1 (13- The Map Interface)

we pass the key,

1:53

S… Speaker 1 (13- The Map Interface)

let's say e1,

1:54

S… Speaker 1 (13- The Map Interface)

and this will return a customer object.

1:57

S… Speaker 2 (13- The Map Interface)

So,

1:58

S… Speaker 1 (13- The Map Interface)

if we print this,

1:59

S… Speaker 1 (13- The Map Interface)

what do you think we're going to get?

2:01

S… Speaker 1 (13- The Map Interface)

We're going to see the name of this customer.

2:03

S… Speaker 1 (13- The Map Interface)

So,

2:06

S… Speaker 1 (13- The Map Interface)

There you go.

2:07

S… Speaker 1 (13- The Map Interface)

So instead of using a loop to iterate over a list,

2:11

S… Speaker 1 (13- The Map Interface)

we call the get method of the hash map to get an object.

2:14

S… Speaker 1 (13- The Map Interface)

And this is extremely fast.

2:16

S… Speaker 1 (13- The Map Interface)

It doesn't matter how many objects we have in this hash map,

2:18

S… Speaker 1 (13- The Map Interface)

we could have 1 trillion objects.

2:20

S… Speaker 1 (13- The Map Interface)

The cost of finding a customer is constant and it would be very

2:24

S… Speaker 1 (13- The Map Interface)

very small.

2:25

S… Speaker 1 (13- The Map Interface)

Now what if we look for a customer that doesn't exist in this list?

2:29

S… Speaker 1 (13- The Map Interface)

Let's say e10.

2:30

S… Speaker 2 (13- The Map Interface)

We get null.

2:34

S… Speaker 1 (13- The Map Interface)

Here we have a similar method called get or default.

2:38

S… Speaker 1 (13- The Map Interface)

So we can pass the key and a default value if this value

2:42

S… Speaker 1 (13- The Map Interface)

we're looking for doesn't exist.

2:44

S… Speaker 1 (13- The Map Interface)

So in this case,

2:45

S… Speaker 1 (13- The Map Interface)

we can pass,

2:46

S… Speaker 1 (13- The Map Interface)

let's say,

2:47

S… Speaker 1 (13- The Map Interface)

an unknown customer.

2:48

S… Speaker 1 (13- The Map Interface)

So I'm going to create an unknown customer over here,

2:52

S… Speaker 1 (13- The Map Interface)

new customer,

2:53

S… Speaker 1 (13- The Map Interface)

the name is unknown and the email is nothing.

2:57

S… Speaker 1 (13- The Map Interface)

So I'm telling this map,

2:59

S… Speaker 1 (13- The Map Interface)

look for an object with the key E10 and if you cannot find it,

3:03

S… Speaker 1 (13- The Map Interface)

return

3:04

S… Speaker 1 (13- The Map Interface)

this unknown customer.

3:06

S… Speaker 1 (13- The Map Interface)

Take a look.

3:07

S… Speaker 1 (13- The Map Interface)

Now we get unknown.

3:11

S… Speaker 1 (13- The Map Interface)

Another useful method is contains key.

3:14

S… Speaker 1 (13- The Map Interface)

So here we can call contains key.

3:17

S… Speaker 1 (13- The Map Interface)

You want to see if you have a customer with this email,

3:21

S… Speaker 1 (13- The Map Interface)

e10.

3:21

S… Speaker 1 (13- The Map Interface)

Obviously this returns a boolean,

3:24

S… Speaker 1 (13- The Map Interface)

so let's rename this to exists.

3:26

S… Speaker 1 (13- The Map Interface)

Now we run the program.

3:28

S… Speaker 1 (13- The Map Interface)

We get false.

3:31

S… Speaker 1 (13- The Map Interface)

We also have a method for replacing an object in a hash table.

3:34

S… Speaker 1 (13- The Map Interface)

For example,

3:36

S… Speaker 1 (13- The Map Interface)

We can call replace,

3:37

S… Speaker 1 (13- The Map Interface)

and we want to replace this customer with the email E1

3:42

S… Speaker 1 (13- The Map Interface)

with another customer object.

3:44

S… Speaker 1 (13- The Map Interface)

Let's say we made a mistake,

3:46

S… Speaker 1 (13- The Map Interface)

and this customer object,

3:48

S… Speaker 1 (13- The Map Interface)

its name should be A++ with the same email.

3:53

S… Speaker 2 (13- The Map Interface)

Now,

3:54

S… Speaker 1 (13- The Map Interface)

this method is going to replace the customer,

3:57

S… Speaker 1 (13- The Map Interface)

so if we print our entire map,

4:04

S… Speaker 1 (13- The Map Interface)

You can see that this map has two key value pairs.

4:07

S… Speaker 1 (13- The Map Interface)

Here's the first key value pair and here's the second key value pair.

4:11

S… Speaker 1 (13- The Map Interface)

So this is the reason this interface is called map in Java because

4:15

S… Speaker 1 (13- The Map Interface)

it maps a key to a value.

4:17

S… Speaker 1 (13- The Map Interface)

in C sharp and python is called a dictionary because it's kind of like a dictionary

4:22

S… Speaker 1 (13- The Map Interface)

where we have words and their meanings.

4:24

S… Speaker 1 (13- The Map Interface)

So each piece of data has two components,

4:26

S… Speaker 1 (13- The Map Interface)

a key and a value.

4:27

S… Speaker 1 (13- The Map Interface)

Okay?

4:28

S… Speaker 1 (13- The Map Interface)

Now,

4:29

S… Speaker 1 (13- The Map Interface)

as I told you before,

4:30

S… Speaker 1 (13- The Map Interface)

this map interface is not an iterable object,

4:33

S… Speaker 1 (13- The Map Interface)

so we cannot use it in a for each loop.

4:35

S… Speaker 1 (13- The Map Interface)

So if you write for each item in map,

4:38

S… Speaker 1 (13- The Map Interface)

look,

4:39

S… Speaker 1 (13- The Map Interface)

we get a compilation error because this is not iterable.

4:43

S… Speaker 1 (13- The Map Interface)

So how can we find the objects we have stored in a map?

4:46

S… Speaker 1 (13- The Map Interface)

Well, here we have three methods.

4:49

S… Speaker 1 (13- The Map Interface)

One of them is key set.

4:51

S… Speaker 1 (13- The Map Interface)

This returns the list of keys in this map.

4:53

S… Speaker 1 (13- The Map Interface)

This object is iterable so we can iterate over it.

4:56

S… Speaker 1 (13- The Map Interface)

In each iteration we get a key.

4:58

S… Speaker 1 (13- The Map Interface)

So we can print it over here.

5:00

S… Speaker 2 (13- The Map Interface)

There you go.

5:04

S… Speaker 1 (13- The Map Interface)

These are our keys.

5:04

S… Speaker 1 (13- The Map Interface)

We have a similar method called entry set.

5:09

S… Speaker 1 (13- The Map Interface)

Now look at the return type of this method.

5:11

S… Speaker 1 (13- The Map Interface)

It returns a set of entry of string

5:15

S… Speaker 1 (13- The Map Interface)

and customer.

5:16

S… Speaker 1 (13- The Map Interface)

So it returns a set and because sets are iterable,

5:19

S… Speaker 1 (13- The Map Interface)

we can iterate over them using a forage loop.

5:22

S… Speaker 1 (13- The Map Interface)

So in each iteration we get an entry,

5:27

S… Speaker 1 (13- The Map Interface)

this entry if we print it,

5:29

S… Speaker 2 (13- The Map Interface)

we see something

5:34

S… Speaker 1 (13- The Map Interface)

like this, key equals value.

5:35

S… Speaker 1 (13- The Map Interface)

Now we can also get the value by

5:39

S… Speaker 1 (13- The Map Interface)

calling the get value method or the key.

5:43

S… Speaker 1 (13- The Map Interface)

So if you need to access both the key and the value in each iteration,

5:46

S… Speaker 1 (13- The Map Interface)

you should iterate over the entry set.

5:49

S… Speaker 1 (13- The Map Interface)

And finally we have another method called values.

5:54

S… Speaker 1 (13- The Map Interface)

It returns a collection of customers,

5:56

S… Speaker 1 (13- The Map Interface)

so this is also iterable.

5:58

S… Speaker 1 (13- The Map Interface)

Let's rename this variable to customer.

6:01

S… Speaker 1 (13- The Map Interface)

So in each iteration we get one customer.

6:05

S… Speaker 2 (13- The Map Interface)

So A and B.

6:09

S… Speaker 1 (13- The Map Interface)

And by the way,

6:10

S… Speaker 1 (13- The Map Interface)

the order of these customers is not guaranteed exactly like our sets.

6:14

S… Speaker 1 (13- The Map Interface)

So just because we added customer 1 before customer 2,

6:17

S… Speaker 1 (13- The Map Interface)

doesn't mean when we print these customers,

6:19

S… Speaker 1 (13- The Map Interface)

they're going to come out in the same order.

6:20

S… Speaker 1 (13- The Map Interface)

So this is all about the map interface in Java.
