Since we have the basic functionality of a hash map, let’s create a test instance of one for us to make sure everything works as expected.
Instructions
1.
Outside the HashMap
class (completely unindented below the class definition) create a new hash map called hash_map
. Give it an array size of 20.
2.
We want to use this hash map to store geologic information — types of rocks.
In hash_map
save the value "metamorphic"
for the key "gneiss"
.
3.
Now retrieve the value of hash_map
for the key gneiss
. Print it out, does your HashMap
work as expected?
