Java HashMap isEmpty() Method

Java HashMap Java HashMap

The isEmpty() method is used to check whether the HashMap is empty.

The syntax of the isEmpty() method is:

hashmap.isEmpty()

Note:hashmap is an object of the HashMap class.

Parameter Description:

  • None

Return Value

Returns true if the HashMap does not contain any key/value pair mappings, otherwise returns false.

Example

The following example demonstrates the use of the isEmpty() method:

Example

import java.util.HashMap;

class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) {

        HashMap<Integer, String> sites = new HashMap<>();
        // Check whether the HashMap contains elements
        boolean result = sites.isEmpty(); // true
        System.out.println("Is it empty? " + result);

        // Add some elements to the HashMap
        sites.put(1, "Google");
        sites.put(2, "Example");
        sites.put(3, "Taobao");
        System.out.println("HashMap: " + sites);

        result = sites.isEmpty(); // false
        System.out.println("Is it empty? " + result);
    }
}

Executing the above program produces the output:

是否为空? true
HashMap: {1=Google, 2=Example, 3=Taobao}
是否为空? false

In the above example, we created a HashMap named sites, and later in the code we used the isEmpty() method to check whether it is empty.
