SortedMap conatinsKey() method in Java with Examples
Last Updated :

The containsKey() method is used to check whether a particular key is being mapped into the SortedMap or not. It takes the key element as a parameter and returns True if that element is mapped in the map.
Syntax:
boolean containsKey(key_element)
Parameters: The method takes just one parameter key_element that refers to the key whose mapping is supposed to be checked inside a SortedMap.
Return Value: The method returns boolean true if the presence of the key is detected else false .
Note: The containsKey() method in SortedMap is inherited from the Map interface in Java.
Below programs are used to illustrate the working of containsKey() Method:
Program 1: Mapping String Values to Integer Keys.
import java.util.*;
public class Map_Demo {
public static void main(String[] args)
{
SortedMap<Integer, String> map
= new TreeMap<Integer, String>();
map.put(10, "Geeks");
map.put(15, "4");
map.put(20, "Geeks");
map.put(25, "Welcomes");
map.put(30, "You");
System.out.println(
"Initial Mappings are: "
+ map);
System.out.println("Is the key '20' present? "
+ map.containsKey(20));
System.out.println("Is the key '5' present? "
+ map.containsKey(5));
}
}
|
Output:
Initial Mappings are:
{10=Geeks, 15=4, 20=Geeks, 25=Welcomes, 30=You}
Is the key '20' present? true
Is the key '5' present? false
Program 2: Mapping Integer Values to String Keys.
import java.util.*;
public class Map_Demo {
public static void main(String[] args)
{
SortedMap<String, Integer> map
= new TreeMap<String, Integer>();
map.put("Geeks", 10);
map.put("4", 15);
map.put("Geeks", 20);
map.put("Welcomes", 25);
map.put("You", 30);
System.out.println(
"Initial Mappings are: "
+ map);
System.out.println(
"Is the key 'Welcomes' present? "
+ map.containsKey("Welcomes"));
System.out.println(
"Is the key 'World' present? "
+ map.containsKey("World"));
}
}
|
Output:
Initial Mappings are: {4=15, Geeks=20, Welcomes=25, You=30}
Is the key 'Welcomes' present? true
Is the key 'World' present? false
Note: The same operation can be performed with any type of Mappings with variation and combination of different data types.
