public Object get(Object key)

If the key is found for a key-value pair entry, its value will be returned.

If not found, null is returned.

import java.util.Enumeration;
import java.util.Hashtable;

public class MainClass {
  public static void main(String[] s) {
    Hashtable table = new Hashtable();
    table.put("key1", "value1");
    table.put("key2", "value2");
    table.put("key3", "value3");

    Enumeration e = table.keys();
    while (e.hasMoreElements()) {
      String key = (String) e.nextElement();
      System.out.println(key + " : " + table.get(key));
    }
  }
}

key3 : value3
key2 : value2
key1 : value1
