Java 8 - forEach method example with Map


forEach is a new method introduced in Java 8 to iterate over collections. Here is an example on forEach method to iterate over Map.

package com.java2novice.java8;

import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.Map;
import java.util.Map.Entry;

public class ForEachMapEx {

	public static void main(String a[]) {

		Map<String, String> countryMap = new HashMap<>();
		countryMap.put("India", "Delhi");
		countryMap.put("USA", "Washington, D.C.");
		countryMap.put("Japan", "Tokyo");
		countryMap.put("Canada", "Ottawa");

		// iterate through Map normal way
		ForEachMapEx.iterateMap(countryMap);

		// iterate through Map using forEach method
		ForEachMapEx.iterateMapUsingForEach(countryMap);
	}

	public static void iterateMap(Map<String, String> countryMap) {

		System.out.println("<----------Iterating in normal way------------->");
		for(Entry<String, String> entry:countryMap.entrySet()) {
			System.out.println("Country: "+entry.getKey()+" : Capital: "+entry.getValue());
		}
	}

	public static void iterateMapUsingForEach(Map<String, String> countryMap) {

		System.out.println("\n<----------Iterating using forEach method------------>");
		countryMap.forEach((k,v)->System.out.println("Country: "+k+" : Capital: "+v));

		countryMap.forEach((k,v)->{
			// you can implement some business logic here..



		});
	}
}

Output:
<----------Iterating in normal way------------->
Country: Canada : Capital: Ottawa
Country: USA : Capital: Washington, D.C.
Country: Japan : Capital: Tokyo
Country: India : Capital: Delhi

<----------Iterating using forEach method------------>
Country: Canada : Capital: Ottawa
Country: USA : Capital: Washington, D.C.
Country: Japan : Capital: Tokyo
Country: India : Capital: Delhi

What is fail-fast in java?
A fail-fast system is nothing but immediately report any failure that is likely to lead to failure. When a problem occurs, a fail-fast system fails immediately. In Java, we can find this behavior with iterators. Incase, you have called iterator on a collection object, and another thread tries to modify the collection object, then concurrent modification exception will be thrown. This is called fail-fast.
Famous Quotations
Do not confuse motion and progress. A rocking horse keeps moving but does not make any progress.
