Hashtable

Remove mapping from Hashtable example

In this example we shall show you how to remove mapping from a Hashtable, that means removing a key value pair from a Hashtable. To remove mapping from a Hashtable one should perform the following steps:

  • Create a new Hashtable.
  • Populate the hashtable with key value pairs, using put(K key, V value) API method of Hashtable.
  • Invoke the remove(Object key) API method of Hashtable, with a key as parameter. It removes a key and its corresponding value from the hashtable,

as described in the code snippet below.

package com.javacodegeeks.snippets.core;
  
import java.util.Hashtable;
 
public class RemoveMappingHashtable {
  
  public static void main(String[] args) {
  
    // Create a Hashtable and populate it with elements
    Hashtable hashtable = new Hashtable();
    hashtable.put("key_1","value_1");
    hashtable.put("key_2","value_2");
    hashtable.put("key_3","value_3");
  
    System.out.println("Hashtable contains : " + hashtable);
 
    /*
 
Object remove(Object key) operantion removes a key value pair from Hashtable.
 
It returns either the value mapped with the key previously or null if no value was mapped.    
    */
    Object value = hashtable.remove("key_2");
 
    System.out.println("After removing value : " + value + " Hashtable contains : " + hashtable);
  }
}

Output:

Hashtable contains : {key_3=value_3, key_2=value_2, key_1=value_1}
After removing value : value_2 Hashtable contains : {key_3=value_3, key_1=value_1}

 
This was an example of how to remove mapping from a Hashtable in Java.
