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

Interface and its usage

Interface is similar to a class which may contain method's signature only but not bodies and it is a formal set of method and constant declarations that must be defined by the class that implements it. Interfaces are useful for declaring methods that one or more classes are expected to implement, capturing similarities between unrelated classes without forcing a class relationship and determining an object's programming interface without revealing the actual body of the class.

Famous Quotations

The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist expects it to change; the realist adjusts the sails.
