Iterate Map Entries 

The following example shows creating a Map and iterating its entries. 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 Set<Entry<K, V>> entrySet();
 - Returns all Entries in the Map as a Set.

Map Size : 3 {1=ONE, 2=TWO, 3=THREE}
Is Map Empty ? : false

1=ONE
2=TWO
3=THREE
