Scala - Delete Elements from HashMap

Here, we will create a map using the HashMap collection. The HashMap collection stores elements in key/value pairs. It uses hash code to store elements and return a map. Then we will delete elements from the HashMap collection using the "-" operator and printed the updated HashMap collection.

Scala code to delete elements from the HashMap collection

The source code to delete elements to the HashMap collection is given below. The given program is compiled and executed on the ubuntu 18.04 operating system successfully.

// Scala program to delete elements from 
// the HashMap collection

import scala.collection.immutable._

object Sample {
  // Main method
  def main(args: Array[String]) {
    var students = HashMap((101, "Amit"), (102, "Arun"), (103, "Anit"))

    println("Student Information:");
    for ((stuId, stuName) <- students)
      printf("\tId: %d, Name: %s\n", stuId, stuName);

    students = students - (102)

    println("Student Information After deleting elements:");
    for ((stuId, stuName) <- students)
      printf("\tId: %d, Name: %s\n", stuId, stuName);
  }
}

Output

Student Information:
	Id: 101, Name: Amit
	Id: 102, Name: Arun
	Id: 103, Name: Anit
Student Information After deleting elements:
	Id: 101, Name: Amit
	Id: 103, Name: Anit

Explanation

Here, we used an object-oriented approach to create the program. And, we imported Collection classes using the below statement,

import scala.collection.mutable._

And, we also created a singleton object Sample and defined the main() function. The main() function is the entry point for the program.

In the main() function, we created a HashMap collection students. The students collection contains student id and student name. Then we removed the element from the students HashMap using the "-" operator and printed the updated collection on the console screen.
