Java.util.EnumMap Class
Java EnumMap Class
Java.util package provides an EnumMap class which is a specialized Map implementation for use with enum type keys. All of the keys in an enum map must come from a single enum type that is specified, explicitly or implicitly, when the map is created. Enum maps are maintained in the natural order of their keys (the order in which the enum constants are declared). Null keys are not permitted. Attempts to insert a null key will throw NullPointerException. Null values are permitted.
EnumMap is not synchronized. If multiple threads access an enum map concurrently, and at least one of the threads modifies the map, it should be synchronized externally.
Class declaration
The declaration of java.util.EnumMap class is:
public class EnumMap<K extends Enum<K>,V>
extends AbstractMap<K,V>
implements Serializable, Cloneable
Class Constructors
| S.N | Constructors & Description |
|---|---|
| 1. |
EnumMap(Class<K> keyType) Creates an empty enum map with the specified key type. |
| 2. |
EnumMap(EnumMap<K,? extends V> m) Creates an enum map with the same key type as the specified enum map, initially containing the same mappings (if any). |
| 3. |
EnumMap(Map<K,? extends V> m) Creates an enum map initialized from the specified map. |
java.util.EnumMap Methods
The java.util.EnumMap class has a number of methods which are listed below:
Member Methods
| S.N | Methods & Description |

EnumMap<K,V> clone() Returns a shallow copy of this enum map. |
| 3. |
boolean containsKey(Object key) Returns true if this map contains a mapping for the specified key. |
| 4. |
boolean containsValue(Object value) Returns true if this map maps one or more keys to the specified value. |
| 5. |

| 6. |
boolean equals(Object obj) Compares the specified object with this map for equality. |
| 7. |
