I need to append to Map to another Map... and this is what i did ..
import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.Iterator;
import java.util.Map;
public class sampl {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Map<String,String> FileMap =new HashMap<String, String>();
Map<String,String> stateMap =new HashMap<String, String>();
stateMap.put("1", "value0");
stateMap.put("12", "value1");
stateMap.put("13", "value2");
stateMap.put("14", "value3");
FileMap.put("value changed", "key value");
FileMap.putAll(stateMap);
Iterator it = FileMap.entrySet().iterator();
while (it.hasNext()) {
Map.Entry pairs = (Map.Entry)it.next();
System.out.println(pairs.getKey() + " = " + pairs.getValue());
}
}
}
The Out put appears as follows
1 = value0
value changed = key value
13 = value2
14 = value3
12 = value1
What i expected here is to print the out put as follows >>
value changed = key value
<< So this appears first
1 = value0
13 = value2
14 = value3
12 = value1
according to the code.. i am adding FileMap.put("value changed", "key value"); First and FileMap.putAll(stateMap); thereafter. So why has the order changed in the above output.
how can i edit this code to display the output as follows >>>>
value changed = key value
<< This should appear first , then the map that i added
1 = value0
13 = value2
14 = value3
12 = value1
note:: First of all i need to display value changed = key value , and the display the remaining of the map..
I need to display values in the order of insertion
Help !!!!
