Program: How to delete user defined objects as a key from LinkedHashMap?


Description:

Below example shows how to delete user defined objects as a key from LinkedHashMap. You can achieve this by implementing equals and hashcode methods at the user defined objects.


Code:
package com.java2novice.linkedhashmap;

import java.util.LinkedHashMap;
import java.util.Set;

public class MyDeleteKeyObject {

	public static void main(String a[]){
		
		LinkedHashMap<Price, String> hm = new LinkedHashMap<Price, String>();
		hm.put(new Price("Banana", 20), "Banana");
		hm.put(new Price("Apple", 40), "Apple");
		hm.put(new Price("Orange", 30), "Orange");
		printMap(hm);
		Price key = new Price("Banana", 20);
		System.out.println("Deleting key...");
		hm.remove(key);
		System.out.println("After deleting key:");
		printMap(hm);
	}
	
	public static void printMap(LinkedHashMap<Price, String> map){
		
		Set<Price> keys = map.keySet();
		for(Price p:keys){
			System.out.println(p+"==>"+map.get(p));
		}
	}
}

class Price{
	
	private String item;
	private int price;
	
	public Price(String itm, int pr){
		this.item = itm;
		this.price = pr;
	}
	
	public int hashCode(){
		System.out.println("In hashcode");
		int hashcode = 0;
		hashcode = price*20;
		hashcode += item.hashCode();
		return hashcode;
	}
	
	public boolean equals(Object obj){
		System.out.println("In equals");
		if (obj instanceof Price) {
			Price pp = (Price) obj;
			return (pp.item.equals(this.item) && pp.price == this.price);
		} else {
			return false;
		}
	}
	
	public String getItem() {
		return item;
	}
	public void setItem(String item) {
		this.item = item;
	}
	public int getPrice() {
		return price;
	}
	public void setPrice(int price) {
		this.price = price;
	}
	
	public String toString(){
		return "item: "+item+"  price: "+price;
	}
}

Output:
item: Apple  price: 40==>Apple
item: Orange  price: 30==>Orange
item: Banana  price: 20==>Banana
Deleting key...
After deleting key:
item: Apple  price: 40==>Apple
item: Orange  price: 30==>Orange

wait Vs sleep methods
sleep(): It is a static method on Thread class. It makes the current thread into the "Not Runnable" state for specified amount of time. During this time, the thread keeps the lock (monitors) it has acquired.

wait(): It is a method on Object class. It makes the current thread into the "Not Runnable" state. Wait is called on a object, not a thread. Before calling wait() method, the object should be synchronized, means the object should be inside synchronized block. The call to wait() releases the acquired lock.
