The HashMap class has many useful methods. For example, to add items to it, use the put() method:
Example
// Import the HashMap class
import java.util.HashMap;
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// Create a HashMap object called capitalCities
HashMap<String, String> capitalCities = new HashMap<String, String>();
// Add keys and values (Country, City)
capitalCities.put("England", "London");
capitalCities.put("Germany", "Berlin");
capitalCities.put("Norway", "Oslo");
capitalCities.put("USA", "Washington DC");
System.out.println(capitalCities);
}
}
