Hashtable

Get size of Hashtable example

This is an example of how to get the size of the Hashtable, that is the number of the key- value pairs that the Hashtable contains. Getting the size of the Hashtable implies that you should:

  • Create a new Hashtable.
  • Populate the hashtable with elements, using put(K key, V value) API method of Hashtable.
  • Invoke the size() API method of the Hashtable. It returns the number of keys of Hashtable.

Let’s take a look at the code snippet that follows:

package com.javacodegeeks.snippets.core;
 
import java.util.Hashtable;
 
public class SizeHashtable {
 
  public static void main(String[] args) {
 
    // Create a Hashtable and populate it with elements
    Hashtable hashtable = new Hashtable();
    hashtable.put("key_1","value_1");
    hashtable.put("key_2","value_2");
    hashtable.put("key_3","value_3");
 
    // int size() operation returns the number of key value pairs stored in Hashtable    
    System.out.println("Size of Hashtable : " + hashtable.size());
    
  }
}

Output:

Size of Hashtable : 3
