Java Map entrySet() Method Guide

The Map interface in Java provides the entrySet() method to retrieve a collection of key-value pairs in a Map. This method returns a Set collection containing all the key-value pairs in the Map, each represented in the form of a Map.Entry object.

The general steps for using the entrySet() method are as follows:

1. Fetch the Map object.
2. Retrieve the collection of key-value pairs by calling the entrySet() method.
3. Iterate through the key-value pairs collection and process each key-value pair sequentially.

Here is an example code:

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

public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // 创建一个Map对象
        Map<String, Integer> map = new HashMap<>();
        map.put("A", 1);
        map.put("B", 2);
        map.put("C", 3);

        // 获取键值对集合
        Set<Entry<String, Integer>> entrySet = map.entrySet();

        // 遍历键值对集合
        for (Entry<String, Integer> entry : entrySet) {
            String key = entry.getKey();
            Integer value = entry.getValue();
            System.out.println("Key: " + key + ", Value: " + value);
        }
    }
}

In the example above, we first create a HashMap object and add three key-value pairs to it. We then use the entrySet() method to get the set of key-value pairs, and iterate through this set using an iterator to print out the key and value of each pair.
