How to Iterate (Loop) Hashmap in Java With Example

Deepak Dec 07, 2023
Hashmap can be looped through by using
  • For Loop Iteration using Iterator
  • While Loop iteration with Iterator
  • forEach Loop
  • Stream

Lets understand with following example one by one

Explore Hashmap for Loop Iteration with example


/*
 * For Loop Iteration using Iterator
 * 
 */
package javaapplication;

import java.util.Map;

import java.util.HashMap;

import java.util.Iterator;


public class JavaApplication {

  
    public static void main(String[] args) {

        // HashMap object with list of employees with their name and department
        HashMap<String, String> employees = new HashMap<String, String>();

        // keys and values (Name, Department)
        employees.put("John", "HR");
        employees.put("Eric", "IT");
        employees.put("Joe", "LEGAL");

        for (Iterator<Map.Entry<String, String>> emp = employees.entrySet().iterator();
                emp.hasNext();) {

            Map.Entry<String, String> data = emp.next();
            System.out.format("key (Name): %s, value (Department): %s %n", data.getKey(), data.getValue());
        }

    }

}

Output once run this code:
key (Name): Joe, value (Department): LEGAL
key (Name): Eric, value (Department): IT
key (Name): John, value (Department): HR

Hashmap While Loop traversing using Iterator

package javaapplication;

import java.util.Map;

import java.util.HashMap;

import java.util.Iterator;


public class JavaApplication {


    public static void main(String[] args) {

        // HashMap object with list of employees with their name and department
        HashMap<String, String> employees = new HashMap<String, String>();

        // keys and values (Name, Department)
        employees.put("John", "HR");
        employees.put("Eric", "IT");
        employees.put("Joe", "LEGAL");
        
        
        Iterator<Map.Entry<String, String>> emp = employees.entrySet().iterator();
  
        while (emp.hasNext()) {

            Map.Entry<String, String> data = emp.next();
            
            System.out.format("key (Name): %s, value (Department): %s %n", data.getKey(), data.getValue());
        }

    }

}

While Loop code output:

key (Name): Joe, value (Department): LEGAL 
key (Name): Eric, value (Department): IT 
key (Name): John, value (Department): HR 

Iterate Hashmap key and values using forEach Loop iteration


package javaapplication;

import java.util.Map;

import java.util.HashMap;


public class JavaApplication {


    public static void main(String[] args) {

        // HashMap object with list of employees with their name and department
        HashMap<String, String> employees = new HashMap<String, String>();

        // keys and values (Name, Department)
        employees.put("John", "HR");
        employees.put("Eric", "IT");
        employees.put("Joe", "LEGAL");
        
        
        employees.forEach((name, department) -> {
            System.out.format("(Name): %s, (Department): %s %n", name, department);
        });
    }

}

forEach Loop code output:

key (Name): Joe, value (Department): LEGAL 
key (Name): Eric, value (Department): IT 
key (Name): John, value (Department): HR 

Iterate Hashmap key and values using Stream Api



package javaapplication;

import java.util.Map;

import java.util.HashMap;


public class JavaApplication {


    public static void main(String[] args) {

        // HashMap object with list of employees with their name and department
        Map<String, String> employees = new HashMap<>();

        // keys and values (Name, Department)
        employees.put("John", "HR");
        employees.put("Eric", "IT");
        employees.put("Joe", "LEGAL");
        
        
      employees.entrySet().stream().forEach(emp -> {
            System.out.format("key (Name): %s, value (Department): %s %n", emp.getKey(), emp.getValue());
        });
    }

}

Stream Loop code output:

key (Name): Joe, value (Department): LEGAL 
key (Name): Eric, value (Department): IT 
key (Name): John, value (Department): HR
