The following code shows how to use Hashtable class
// Demonstrate a Hashtable. import java.util.*; public class Main { public static void main(String args[]) { Hashtable<String, Double> balance = new Hashtable<String, Double>(); Enumeration<String> names; String str; //from w w w .j av a2s .c o m double bal; balance.put("HTML", 1234.34); balance.put("CSS", 123.22); balance.put("Java", 1234.00); balance.put("Javascript", 99.22); balance.put("SQL", -19.08); // Show all balances in hashtable. names = balance.keys(); while(names.hasMoreElements()) { str = names.nextElement(); System.out.println(str + ": " + balance.get(str)); } System.out.println(); // Deposit 1,000 into HTML's account. bal = balance.get("HTML"); balance.put("HTML", bal+1000); System.out.println("HTML's new balance: " + balance.get("HTML")); } }
