In Java, LinkedHashMap is a class that extends HashMap, maintaining the order of key-value pairs based on insertion or access order (which can be specified through the constructor).<\/p>\n

LinkedHashMap is primarily used in scenarios where iterating in insertion order or access order is needed, and it provides the following common methods:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. store the specified key-value pair in the LinkedHashMap.<\/li>\n
  2. Retrieve the value corresponding to the specified key.<\/li>\n
  3. Delete the key-value pair associated with the specified key.<\/li>\n
  4. Check if the specified key is contained in the LinkedHashMap.<\/li>\n
  5. clear(): removes all key-value pairs from the LinkedHashMap.<\/li>\n
  6. keySet(): retrieve the set of all keys in the LinkedHashMap.<\/li>\n
  7. values(): retrieve the collection of all values in the LinkedHashMap.<\/li>\n
  8. Retrieve the collection of all key-value pairs in a LinkedHashMap using entrySet() method, and the return type is Set>.<\/li>\n
  9. size(): obtain the number of key-value pairs in the LinkedHashMap.<\/li>\n
  10. isEmpty(): Determines if the LinkedHashMap is empty.<\/li>\n
  11. containsValue(value): Checks if the specified value is contained in the LinkedHashMap.<\/li>\n
  12. Obtain the value associated with a specified key, returning a default value if the key does not exist.<\/li>\n
  13. Iterate over the key-value pairs in the LinkedHashMap and perform a specified action on each pair.<\/li>\n
  14. replace(key, value): substitute the value corresponding to the specified key.<\/li>\n
  15. putAll(Map m): Store all key-value pairs from the specified Map into a LinkedHashMap.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    In addition to the methods mentioned above, LinkedHashMap also offers some other methods for manipulating the key-value pairs in the LinkedHashMap.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
