//creating a hash map
HashMap<Integer, String> MyMap = new HashMap<Integer, String>();
//populating MyMap
MyMap.put(101, "John");
MyMap.put(102, "Marry");
MyMap.put(103, "Kim");
MyMap.put(104, "Jo");
//check for value - "Kim"
System.out.print("Does MyMap contain key(s) mapped to 'Kim'? - ");
System.out.print(MyMap.containsValue("Kim"));
//check for value - "Sam"
System.out.print("\nDoes MyMap contain key(s) mapped to 'Sam'? - ");
