Map Entry in Java

Map Entry is a special type of data structure in the programming language Java. It is used to store key-value pairs, where the key is unique and the value can be any type of data.

  • What is a Map Entry?
    • A Map Entry is a pair of key and value stored in a map.
    • The key is unique within the map and cannot be changed after it has been added.
    • The value can be any type of data, but it must be compatible with the type of the map.

There are two main types of Map Entries in Java:

  • Immutable Map Entry - This type of Map Entry is immutable, which means that its key and value cannot be changed after it has been created.
  • Mutable Map Entry - This type of Map Entry allows the key and value to be changed after it has been created.
Type Key Value
Immutable Map Entry Unique Any type of data
Mutable Map Entry Unique Any type of data
