Get from Map 

The following example shows how to get the value for a specified key and all available values from the Map. HashMap and Hashtable are two implementations of Map interface. Hashtable is synchronized where as HashMap is not. Map provides the following APIs,

public int size();
 - Returns the number of entries in the Map.
 
public boolean isEmpty();
 - Returns true if the Map contains more than one entry otherwise returns false. 
 
public V get(Object paramObject);
 - Gets value for the key, if the key exists in the Map otherwise returns null.
 
public Collection values();
 - Returns all values from the Map as a Collection.

Is Map Empty ? : true
Map Size : 3
Is Map Empty ? : false

Value for key '1' : ONE
Value for key '6' : null

Map values : [ONE, TWO, THREE]
