Hashtable Class values() method

• values() method is available in java.util package.
• values() method is used to get all the values exist in this Hashtable to be viewed in a Collection.
• values() method is a non-static method, it is accessible with the class object only and if we try to access the method with the class name then we will get an error.
• values() method does not throw an exception at the time of string denotation.

Syntax:

    public Collection values();

Parameter(s):

• It does not accept any parameter.

Return value:

The return type of the method is Collection, it returns values of this Hashtable in a Collection view.

Example:

// Java program to demonstrate the example 
// of Collection values() method of Hashtable 

import java.util.*;

public class ValuesOfHashtable {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // Instantiate a hashtable object  
        Hashtable ht = new Hashtable();

        // By using put() method is to
        // add the linked values in an
        // Hashtable ht
        ht.put(10, "C");
        ht.put(20, "C++");
        ht.put(30, "JAVA");
        ht.put(40, "PHP");
        ht.put(50, "SFDC");

        // Display Hashtable
        System.out.println("Hashtable: " + ht);

        // By using values() method is to
        // return the set of values exists 
        // in Hashtable to be viewed in Hashtable
        Collection ht_co = ht.values();
        System.out.println("ht.values(): " + ht_co);
    }
}

Output

Hashtable: {10=C, 20=C++, 30=JAVA, 40=PHP, 50=SFDC}
ht.values(): [C, C++, JAVA, PHP, SFDC]
