WeakHashMap.put(K key, V value) has the following syntax.
public V put(K key, V value)
In the following code shows how to use WeakHashMap.put(K key, V value) method.
/*w w w .ja v a 2 s. c om*/ import java.util.Map; import java.util.WeakHashMap; public class Main { public static void main(String[] args) { Map<String, String> weakHashMap = new WeakHashMap<String, String> (); System.out.println("Putting values into the Map"); weakHashMap.put("1", "first"); weakHashMap.put("2", "two"); weakHashMap.put("3", "from java2s.com"); // checking Map System.out.println("Map: "+weakHashMap); // putting value at key 2 String str=(String)weakHashMap.put("2", "newvalue"); System.out.println("Returned value: "+str); System.out.println("New Map: "+weakHashMap); } }
The code above generates the following result.
