Hi,
I'm facing a problem that seems to have no straighforward solution.
I'm using java.util.Map
, and I want to update the value in a Key-Value pair.
Right now, I'm doing it lik this:
private Map<String,int> table = new HashMap<String,int>();
public void update(String key, int val) {
if( !table.containsKey(key) ) return;
Entry<String,int> entry;
for( entry : table.entrySet() ) {
if( entry.getKey().equals(key) ) {
entry.setValue(val);
break;
}
}
}
So is there any method so that I can get the required Entry
object without having to iterate through the entire Map
? Or is there some way to update the entry's value in place? Some method in Map
like setValue(String key, int val)
?
