Sort a Map<Key, Value> by values
(64 answers)
Closed 3 years ago.
How are we able to sort a HashMap<key, ArrayList>?
I want to sort on the basis of a value in the ArrayList.
Do you have to use a HashMap? If you only need the Map Interface use a TreeMap
If you want to sort by comparing values in the HashMap. You have to write code to do this, if you want to do it once you can sort the values of your HashMap:
Map<String, Person> people = new HashMap<>();
Person jim = new Person("Jim", 25);
Person scott = new Person("Scott", 28);
Person anna = new Person("Anna", 23);
people.put(jim.getName(), jim);
people.put(scott.getName(), scott);
people.put(anna.getName(), anna);
// not yet sorted
List<Person> peopleByAge = new ArrayList<>(people.values());
Collections.sort(peopleByAge, Comparator.comparing(Person::getAge));
for (Person p : peopleByAge) {
System.out.println(p.getName() + "\t" + p.getAge());
}
If you want to access this sorted list often, then you could insert your elements into a HashMap<TreeSet<Person>>, though the semantics of sets and lists are a bit different.
Sorted List by hasmap keys:
SortedSet<String> keys = new TreeSet<String>(myHashMap.keySet());
Sorted List by hashmap values:
SortedSet<String> values = new TreeSet<String>(myHashMap.values());
In case of duplicated map values:
List<String> mapValues = new ArrayList<String>(myHashMap.values());
Collections.sort(mapValues);
Good Luck!
http://snipplr.com/view/2789/sorting-map-keys-by-comparing-its-values/
get the keys
List keys = new ArrayList(yourMap.keySet());
Sort them
Collections.sort(keys)
print them.
In any case, you can't have sorted values in HashMap (according to API This class makes no guarantees as to the order of the map; in particular, it does not guarantee that the order will remain constant over time ].
Though you can push all these values to LinkedHashMap, for later use as well.
Seems like you might want a treemap.
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/util/TreeMap.html
You can pass in a custom comparator to it if that applies.
In Java 8:
Comparator<Entry<String, Item>> valueComparator =
(e1, e2) -> e1.getValue().getField().compareTo(e2.getValue().getField());
Map<String, Item> sortedMap =
unsortedMap.entrySet().stream().
sorted(valueComparator).
collect(Collectors.toMap(Entry::getKey, Entry::getValue,
(e1, e2) -> e1, LinkedHashMap::new));
Using Guava:
Map<String, Item> map = ...;
Function<Item, Integer> getField = new Function<Item, Integer>() {
public Integer apply(Item item) {
return item.getField(); // the field to sort on
}
};
comparatorFunction = Functions.compose(getField, Functions.forMap(map));
comparator = Ordering.natural().onResultOf(comparatorFunction);
Map<String, Item> sortedMap = ImmutableSortedMap.copyOf(map, comparator);
Custom compare function which includes functionality for the Turkish alphabet or other different languages than english.
public <K extends Comparable,V extends Comparable> LinkedHashMap<K,V> sortByKeys(LinkedHashMap<K,V> map){
List<K> keys = new LinkedList<K>(map.keySet());
Collections.sort(keys, (Comparator<? super K>) new Comparator<String>() {
#Override
public int compare(String first, String second) {
Collator collator = Collator.getInstance(Locale.getDefault());
//Collator collator = Collator.getInstance(new Locale("tr", "TR"));
return collator.compare(first, second);
}
});
LinkedHashMap<K,V> sortedMap = new LinkedHashMap<K,V>();
for(K key: keys){
sortedMap.put(key, map.get(key));
}
return sortedMap;
}
here is the using example as the following
LinkedHashMap<String, Boolean> ligList = new LinkedHashMap<String, Boolean>();
ligList = sortByKeys(ligList);
Without any more information, it's hard to know exactly what you want. However, when choosing what data structure to use, you need to take into account what you need it for. Hashmaps are not designed for sorting - they are designed for easy retrieval. So in your case, you'd probably have to extract each element from the hashmap, and put them into a data structure more conducive to sorting, such as a heap or a set, and then sort them there.
If you want to combine a Map for efficient retrieval with a SortedMap, you may use the ConcurrentSkipListMap.
Of course, you need the key to be the value used for sorting.
have you considered using a LinkedHashMap<>()..?
public static void main(String[] args) {
Map<Object, Object> handler = new LinkedHashMap<Object, Object>();
handler.put("item", "Value");
handler.put(2, "Movies");
handler.put("isAlive", true);
for (Map.Entry<Object, Object> entrY : handler.entrySet())
System.out.println(entrY.getKey() + ">>" + entrY.getValue());
List<Map.Entry<String, Integer>> entries = new ArrayList<Map.Entry<String, Integer>>();
Collections.sort(entries, new Comparator<Map.Entry<String, Integer>>() {
public int compare(Map.Entry<String, Integer> a,
Map.Entry<String, Integer> b) {
return a.getValue().compareTo(b.getValue());
}
});
}
results into an organized linked object.
item>>Value
2>>Movies
isAlive>>true
check the sorting part picked from here..
I have developed a class which can be used to sort a map on the basis of keys and values. The basic idea is if you have sort a map using keys then create a TreepMap from your Map which will sort the map by keys. And in case of sorting by values create a list from entrySet and sort the list using comparator interface.
Here is the full solution :
public static void main(String[] args) {
Map<String, Integer> unSortedMap = new LinkedHashMap<String, Integer>();
unSortedMap.put("A", 2);
unSortedMap.put("V", 1);
unSortedMap.put("G", 5);
System.out.println("Unsorted Map :\n");
for (Map.Entry<String, Integer> entry : unSortedMap.entrySet()) {
System.out.println(entry.getKey() + " " + entry.getValue());
}
System.out.println("\n");
System.out.println("Sorting Map Based on Keys :\n");
Map<String, Integer> keySortedMap = new TreeMap<String, Integer>(unSortedMap);
for (Map.Entry<String, Integer> entry : keySortedMap.entrySet()) {
System.out.println(entry.getKey() + " " + entry.getValue());
}
System.out.println("\n");
System.out.println("Sorting Map Based on Values :\n");
List<Entry<String, Integer>> entryList = new ArrayList<Entry<String, Integer>>(unSortedMap.entrySet());
Collections.sort(entryList, new Comparator<Entry<String, Integer>>() {
#Override
public int compare(Entry<String, Integer> obj1, Entry<String, Integer> obj2) {
return obj1.getValue().compareTo(obj2.getValue());
}
});
unSortedMap.clear();
for (Entry<String, Integer> entry : entryList) {
unSortedMap.put(entry.getKey(), entry.getValue());
System.out.println(entry.getKey() + " " + entry.getValue());
}
}
Code is properly tested :D
Sorting HashMap by Value:
As others have pointed out. HashMaps are for easy lookups if you change that or try to sort inside the map itself you will no longer have O(1) lookup.
The code for your sorting is as follows:
class Obj implements Comparable<Obj>{
String key;
ArrayList<Integer> val;
Obj(String key, ArrayList<Integer> val)
{
this.key=key;
this.val=val;
}
public int compareTo(Obj o)
{
/* Write your sorting logic here.
this.val compared to o.val*/
return 0;
}
}
public void sortByValue(Map<String, ArrayList<>> mp){
ArrayList<Obj> arr=new ArrayList<Obj>();
for(String z:mp.keySet())//Make an object and store your map into the arrayList
{
Obj o=new Obj(z,mp.get(z));
arr.add(o);
}
System.out.println(arr);//Unsorted
Collections.sort(arr);// This sorts based on the conditions you coded in the compareTo function.
System.out.println(arr);//Sorted
}
A proper answer.
HashMap<Integer, Object> map = new HashMap<Integer, Object>();
ArrayList<Integer> sortedKeys = new ArrayList<Integer>(map.keySet());
Collections.sort(sortedKeys, new Comparator<Integer>() {
#Override
public int compare(Integer a, Integer b) {
return a.compareTo(b);
}
});
for (Integer key: sortedKeys) {
//map.get(key);
}
Note that HashMap itself cannot maintain sorting, as other answers have pointed out. It's a hash map, and hashed values are unsorted. You can thus either sort the keys when you need to and then access the values in order, as I demonstrated above, or you can find a different collection to store your data, like an ArrayList of Pairs/Tuples, such as the Pair found in Apache Commons:
https://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-lang/apidocs/org/apache/commons/lang3/tuple/Pair.html
Sorting by key:
public static void main(String[] args) {
Map<String,String> map = new HashMap<>();
map.put("b", "dd");
map.put("c", "cc");
map.put("a", "aa");
map = new TreeMap<>(map);
for (String key : map.keySet()) {
System.out.println(key+"="+map.get(key));
}
}

HashMap doesnt maintain any order, so if you want any kind of ordering, you need to store that in something else, which is a map and can have some kind of ordering, like LinkedHashMap
below is a simple program, by which you can sort by key, value, ascending ,descending ..( if you modify the compactor, you can use any kind of ordering, on keys and values)

smkv.sortByKey(true);
System.out.println("After sorting by key descindeng order......");
smkv.sortByKey(false);
System.out.println("After sorting by value ascending order......");
smkv.sortByValue(true);
System.out.println("After sorting by value descindeng order......");
smkv.sortByValue(false);
}
void createMap() {
map.put("B", 55);
map.put("A", 80);
map.put("D", 20);

map.put("AC", 70);
map.put("BC", 70);
System.out.println("Before sorting......");
printMap(map);
}
void sortByValue(boolean order) {
List<Entry<String, Integer>> list = new LinkedList<Entry<String, Integer>>(map.entrySet());
Collections.sort(list, new Comparator<Entry<String, Integer>>() {
public int compare(Entry<String, Integer> o1, Entry<String, Integer> o2) {
if (order) {
return o1.getValue().compareTo(o2.getValue());
} else {
return o2.getValue().compareTo(o1.getValue());
}
}
});
Map<String, Integer> sortedMap = new LinkedHashMap<String, Integer>();
for (Entry<String, Integer> entry : list) {
sortedMap.put(entry.getKey(), entry.getValue());
}
printMap(sortedMap);
}

Convert hashmap to a ArrayList with a pair class
Hashmap<Object,Object> items = new HashMap<>();
to
List<Pair<Object,Object>> items = new ArrayList<>();
so you can sort it as you want, or list sorted by adding order.
Sorting HashMap by value in Java:
public class HashMapSortByValue {
public static void main(String[] args) {
HashMap<Long,String> unsortMap = new HashMap<Long,String>();
unsortMap.put(5l,"B");
unsortMap.put(8l,"A");
unsortMap.put(2l, "D");
unsortMap.put(7l,"C" );
System.out.println("Before sorting......");
System.out.println(unsortMap);
HashMap<Long,String> sortedMapAsc = sortByComparator(unsortMap);
System.out.println("After sorting......");
System.out.println(sortedMapAsc);
}
public static HashMap<Long,String> sortByComparator(
HashMap<Long,String> unsortMap) {
List<Map.Entry<Long,String>> list = new LinkedList<Map.Entry<Long,String>>(
unsortMap.entrySet());
Collections.sort(list, new Comparator<Map.Entry<Long,String>> () {
public int compare(Map.Entry<Long,String> o1, Map.Entry<Long,String> o2) {
return o1.getValue().compareTo(o2.getValue());
}
});
HashMap<Long,String> sortedMap = new LinkedHashMap<Long,String>();
for (Entry<Long,String> entry : list) {
sortedMap.put(entry.getKey(), entry.getValue());
}
return sortedMap;
}
}
So I am having a bit of trouble understanding how to do this. I am building a word counter in Java using Map<String, Integer> where a word is the String and the amount of times that word was said in a .txt document is Integer. This is all working great...but I am trying to develop a part where it will display at the bottom what the top 5 results are ---> what the top 5 map.values() are.
The problem I have run into is after I find the value, I can't get the String with it.
Any suggestions would be very helpful to me.
You need to use the Map.Entry<String, Integer> to get the pair of the key and value.
The values() method returns only values, whereas the keySet() method returns only the keys.
Firstly, you should sort your map, based on values, to get the top five results.
The straightforward approach uses a Comparator. See the answer here for more.
Then you simply get the first five entries of the map.getEntrySet(). It would be easier to use an Iterator for this.
UPDATE:
Set<Entry<String, Integer>> set = wordCount.entrySet();
List<Entry<String, Integer>> list = new ArrayList<Entry<String, Integer>>(set);
Collections.sort(list, new Comparator<Map.Entry<String, Integer>>() {
public int compare(Map.Entry<String, Integer> o1, Map.Entry<String, Integer> o2) {
return o2.getValue().compareTo(o1.getValue());
}
});
int topResults = 5;
Iterator<Entry<String, Integer>> iter = list.iterator(); //refer the sorted collection
while (iter.hasNext() && topResults > 0 ) {
Map.Entry<String, Integer> entry = iter.next();
System.out.println(entry.getKey() + "->" + entry.getValue());
topResults --;
}
a) Iterate over the map, this way you have both keys and values accessible:
for (Map.Entry<String, Object> entry : map.entrySet()) {
String key = entry.getKey();
Integer value = entry.getValue();
// ...
}
b) build a second map for reverse lookup, e.g. Map - note that this is likely not a good idea here as you may have duplicate keys (same number for different words)
c) consider using a bidimap - this is a map which you can query both by key and by value.
I suggest you to override Comparator and build your Map constructor based on it.
Code is showed below:
class ValueComparator implements Comparator {
Map map;
public ValueComparator(Map map) {
this.map = map;
}
public int compare(Object keyA, Object keyB) {
Comparable valueA = (Comparable) map.get(keyA);
Comparable valueB = (Comparable) map.get(keyB);
return valueB.compareTo(valueA);
}
}
public class YourClass{
public static void main(String[] args) {
HashMap<String, Integer> map = new HashMap<String, Integer>();
map.put("a", 10);
map.put("b", 30);
map.put("c", 50);
map.put("d", 40);
map.put("e", 20);
System.out.println(map);
Map sortedMap = sortByValue(map);
System.out.println(sortedMap);
}
public static Map sortByValue(Map unsortedMap) {
Map sortedMap = new TreeMap(new ValueComparator(unsortedMap));
sortedMap.putAll(unsortedMap);
return sortedMap;
}
}
I need create inverse map - select unique values and for them find keys.
Seems that only way is to iterate all key/value pairs, because entrySet returns set of <key,value> so value not unique?
The values in a map may not be unique. But if they are (in your case) you can do as you wrote in your question and create a generic method to convert it:
private static <V, K> Map<V, K> invert(Map<K, V> map) {
Map<V, K> inv = new HashMap<V, K>();
for (Entry<K, V> entry : map.entrySet())
inv.put(entry.getValue(), entry.getKey());
return inv;
}
Java 8:
public static <V, K> Map<V, K> invert(Map<K, V> map) {
return map.entrySet()
.stream()
.collect(Collectors.toMap(Entry::getValue, Entry::getKey));
}
Example of usage:
public static void main(String[] args) {
Map<String, Integer> map = new HashMap<String, Integer>();
map.put("Hello", 0);
map.put("World!", 1);
Map<Integer, String> inv = invert(map);
System.out.println(inv); // outputs something like "{0=Hello, 1=World!}"
}
Side note: the put(.., ..) method will return the the "old" value for a key. If it is not null you may throw a new IllegalArgumentException("Map values must be unique") or something like that.
Take a look at Google Guava BiMap.
Example usage
Map<Integer, String> map = new HashMap<>();
map.put(1, "one");
map.put(2, "two");
Map<String, Integer> inverted = HashBiMap.create(map).inverse();
To get an inverted form of a given map in java 8:
public static <K, V> Map<V, K> inverseMap(Map<K, V> sourceMap) {
return sourceMap.entrySet().stream().collect(
Collectors.toMap(Entry::getValue, Entry::getKey,
(a, b) -> a) //if sourceMap has duplicate values, keep only first
);
}
Example usage
Map<Integer, String> map = new HashMap<Integer, String>();
map.put(1, "one");
map.put(2, "two");
Map<String, Integer> inverted = inverseMap(map);
Seems that only way is to iterate all key/value pairs, because entrySet returns set of so value not unique?
It's one way at least. Here's an example:
Map<Integer, String> map = new HashMap<Integer, String>();
map.put(1, "one");
map.put(2, "two");
Map<String, Integer> inverted = new HashMap<String, Integer>();
for (Integer i : map.keySet())
inverted.put(map.get(i), i);
In case of non-unique values, this algorithm will map the last value found to it's key. (Since the iteration order is undefined for most maps, this should be as good as any solution.)
If you really do want to keep the first value found for each key, you could change it to
if (!inverted.containsKey(map.get(i)))
inverted.put(map.get(i), i);
I would give another approach to this problem giving an extra dimension:
duplicate values in EntrySet.
public static void main(String[] args) {
HashMap<Integer, String> s = new HashMap<Integer, String>();
s.put(1, "Value1");
s.put(2, "Value2");
s.put(3, "Value2");
s.put(4, "Value1");
/*
* swap goes here
*/
HashMap<String,List<Integer>> newMap = new HashMap<String, List<Integer>>();
for (Map.Entry<Integer, String> en : s.entrySet()) {
System.out.println(en.getKey() + " " + en.getValue());
if(newMap.containsKey(en.getValue())){
newMap.get(en.getValue()).add(en.getKey());
} else {
List<Integer> tmpList = new ArrayList<Integer>();
tmpList.add(en.getKey());
newMap.put(en.getValue(), tmpList);
}
}
for(Map.Entry<String, List<Integer>> entry: newMap.entrySet()){
System.out.println(entry.getKey() + " " + entry.getValue());
}
}
T result will be that:
1 Value1 2 Value2 3 Value2 4 Value1 Value1 [1, 4] Value2 [2, 3]
Apache Commons Collections also provides a BidiMap interface for bi-directional maps, along with several implementations.
BidiMap JavaDoc
If your values duplicate and you need to store keys in list you can go with
val invertedMap = originalMap.entrySet().stream()
.collect(Collectors.groupingBy(
Map.Entry::getValue,
Collectors.mapping(Map.Entry::getKey, Collectors.toList()))
);
You have to assume that values may be identical, since the Map contract allows it.
In my opinion the best solution lies in using a wrapper. It will contain the original value, and add an id. Its hashCode() function will rely on the id, and you provide a Getter for the original value.
Code would be something like this:
public class MapKey
{
/**
* A new ID to differentiate equal values
*/
private int _id;
/**
* The original value now used as key
*/
private String _originalValue;
public MapKey(String originalValue)
{
_originalValue = originalValue;
//assuming some method for generating ids...
_id = getNextId();
}
public String getOriginalValue()
{
return _originalValue;
}
#Override
public int hashCode()
{
final int prime = 31;
int result = 1;
result = prime * result + _id;
return result;
}
#Override
public boolean equals(Object obj)
{
if (this == obj)
return true;
if (obj == null)
return false;
if (getClass() != obj.getClass())
return false;
MapKey other = (MapKey) obj;
if (_id != other._id)
return false;
return true;
}
#Override
public String toString()
{
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
sb.append("MapKey value is ");
sb.append(_originalValue);
sb.append(" with ID number ");
sb.append(_id);
return sb.toString();
}
Inverting the map would be something like this:
public Map <MapKey, Integer> invertMap(Map <Integer, String> map)
{
Map <MapKey, Integer> invertedMap = new HashMap <MapKey, Integer>();
Iterator<Entry<Integer, String>> it = map.entrySet().iterator();
while(it.hasNext())
{
//getting the old values (to be reversed)
Entry<Integer, String> entry = it.next();
Integer oldKey = entry.getKey();
String oldValue = entry.getValue();
//creating the new MapKey
MapKey newMapKey = new MapKey(oldValue);
invertedMap.put(newMapKey, oldKey);
}
return invertedMap;
}
Printing the values something like this:
for(MapKey key : invertedMap.keySet())
{
System.out.println(key.toString() + " has a new value of " + invertedMap.get(key));
}
None of this code is tested, but I believe it's the best solution since it makes use of OO inheritance design instead of "c" style checks and allows you to display all the original keys and values.
With Guava
Multimaps.transformValues(Multimaps.index(map.entrySet(), Map.Entry::getValue),
Map.Entry::getKey)
You'll get a multimap (basically a map of lists) in return.
How to move a particular HashMap entry to Last position?
For Example, I have HashMap values like this:
HashMap<String,Integer> map = new HashMap<String,Integer>();
map= {Not-Specified 1, test 2, testtest 3};
"Not-Specified" may come in any position. it may come first or in the middle of the map. But i want to move the "Not-Specified" to the last position.
How can I do that?
To answer your question in one sentence:
Per default, Maps don't have a last entry, it's not part of their contract.
And a side note: it's good practice to code against interfaces, not the implementation classes (see Effective Java by Joshua Bloch, Chapter 8, Item 52: Refer to objects by their interfaces).
So your declaration should read:
Map<String,Integer> map = new HashMap<String,Integer>();
(All maps share a common contract, so the client need not know what kind of map it is, unless he specifies a sub interface with an extended contract).
Possible Solutions
Sorted Maps:
There is a sub interface SortedMap that extends the map interface with order-based lookup methods and it has a sub interface NavigableMap that extends it even further. The standard implementation of this interface, TreeMap, allows you to sort entries either by natural ordering (if they implement the Comparable interface) or by a supplied Comparator.
You can access the last entry through the lastEntry method:
NavigableMap<String,Integer> map = new TreeMap<String, Integer>();
// add some entries
Entry<String, Integer> lastEntry = map.lastEntry();
Linked maps:
There is also the special case of LinkedHashMap, a HashMap implementation that stores the order in which keys are inserted. There is however no interface to back up this functionality, nor is there a direct way to access the last key. You can only do it through tricks such as using a List in between:
Map<String,String> map = new LinkedHashMap<String, Integer>();
// add some entries
List<Entry<String,Integer>> entryList =
new ArrayList<Map.Entry<String, Integer>>(map.entrySet());
Entry<String, Integer> lastEntry =
entryList.get(entryList.size()-1);
Proper Solution:
Since you don't control the insertion order, you should go with the NavigableMap interface, i.e. you would write a comparator that positions the Not-Specified entry last.
Here is an example:
final NavigableMap<String,Integer> map =
new TreeMap<String, Integer>(new Comparator<String>() {
public int compare(final String o1, final String o2) {
int result;
if("Not-Specified".equals(o1)) {
result=1;
} else if("Not-Specified".equals(o2)) {
result=-1;
} else {
result =o1.compareTo(o2);
}
return result;
}
});
map.put("test", Integer.valueOf(2));
map.put("Not-Specified", Integer.valueOf(1));
map.put("testtest", Integer.valueOf(3));
final Entry<String, Integer> lastEntry = map.lastEntry();
System.out.println("Last key: "+lastEntry.getKey()
+ ", last value: "+lastEntry.getValue());
Output:
Last key: Not-Specified, last value: 1
Solution using HashMap:
If you must rely on HashMaps, there is still a solution, using a) a modified version of the above comparator, b) a List initialized with the Map's entrySet and c) the Collections.sort() helper method:
final Map<String, Integer> map = new HashMap<String, Integer>();
map.put("test", Integer.valueOf(2));
map.put("Not-Specified", Integer.valueOf(1));
map.put("testtest", Integer.valueOf(3));
final List<Entry<String, Integer>> entries =
new ArrayList<Entry<String, Integer>>(map.entrySet());
Collections.sort(entries, new Comparator<Entry<String, Integer>>(){
public int compareKeys(final String o1, final String o2){
int result;
if("Not-Specified".equals(o1)){
result = 1;
} else if("Not-Specified".equals(o2)){
result = -1;
} else{
result = o1.compareTo(o2);
}
return result;
}
#Override
public int compare(final Entry<String, Integer> o1,
final Entry<String, Integer> o2){
return this.compareKeys(o1.getKey(), o2.getKey());
}
});
final Entry<String, Integer> lastEntry =
entries.get(entries.size() - 1);
System.out.println("Last key: " + lastEntry.getKey() + ", last value: "
+ lastEntry.getValue());
}
Output:
Last key: Not-Specified, last value: 1
HashMap doesn't have "the last position", as it is not sorted.
You may use other Map which implements java.util.SortedMap, most popular one is TreeMap.
A SortedMap is the logical/best choice, however another option is to use a LinkedHashMap which maintains two order modes, most-recently-added goes last, and most-recently-accessed goes last. See the Javadocs for more details.
When using numbers as the key, I suppose you could also try this:
Map<Long, String> map = new HashMap<>();
map.put(4L, "The First");
map.put(6L, "The Second");
map.put(11L, "The Last");
long lastKey = 0;
//you entered Map<Long, String> entry
for (Map.Entry<Long, String> entry : map.entrySet()) {
lastKey = entry.getKey();
}
System.out.println(lastKey); // 11
move does not make sense for a hashmap since its a dictionary with a hashcode for bucketing based on key and then a linked list for colliding hashcodes resolved via equals.
Use a TreeMap for sorted maps and then pass in a custom comparator.
In such scenario last used key is usually known so it can be used for accessing last value (inserted with the one):
class PostIndexData {
String _office_name;
Boolean _isGov;
public PostIndexData(String name, Boolean gov) {
_office_name = name;
_isGov = gov;
}
}
//-----------------------
class KgpData {
String _postIndex;
PostIndexData _postIndexData;
public KgpData(String postIndex, PostIndexData postIndexData) {
_postIndex = postIndex;
_postIndexData = postIndexData;;
}
}
public class Office2ASMPro {
private HashMap<String,PostIndexData> _postIndexMap = new HashMap<>();
private HashMap<String,KgpData> _kgpMap = new HashMap<>();
...
private void addOffice(String kgp, String postIndex, String officeName, Boolean gov) {
if (_postIndexMap.get(postIndex) == null) {
_postIndexMap.put(postIndex, new PostIndexData(officeName, gov));
}
_kgpMap.put( kgp, new KgpData(postIndex, _postIndexMap.get(postIndex)) );
}
Find missing all elements from array
int[] array = {3,5,7,8,2,1,32,5,7,9,30,5};
TreeMap<Integer, Integer> map = new TreeMap<>();
for(int i=0;i<array.length;i++) {
map.put(array[i], 1);
}
int maxSize = map.lastKey();
for(int j=0;j<maxSize;j++) {
if(null == map.get(j))
System.out.println("Missing `enter code here`No:"+j);
}

Sort a Map<Key, Value> by values
(64 answers)
Closed 3 years ago.
How are we able to sort a HashMap<key, ArrayList>?
I want to sort on the basis of a value in the ArrayList.
Do you have to use a HashMap? If you only need the Map Interface use a TreeMap
If you want to sort by comparing values in the HashMap. You have to write code to do this, if you want to do it once you can sort the values of your HashMap:
Map<String, Person> people = new HashMap<>();
Person jim = new Person("Jim", 25);
Person scott = new Person("Scott", 28);
Person anna = new Person("Anna", 23);
people.put(jim.getName(), jim);
people.put(scott.getName(), scott);
people.put(anna.getName(), anna);
// not yet sorted
List<Person> peopleByAge = new ArrayList<>(people.values());
Collections.sort(peopleByAge, Comparator.comparing(Person::getAge));
for (Person p : peopleByAge) {
System.out.println(p.getName() + "\t" + p.getAge());
}
If you want to access this sorted list often, then you could insert your elements into a HashMap<TreeSet<Person>>, though the semantics of sets and lists are a bit different.
Sorted List by hasmap keys:
SortedSet<String> keys = new TreeSet<String>(myHashMap.keySet());
Sorted List by hashmap values:
SortedSet<String> values = new TreeSet<String>(myHashMap.values());
In case of duplicated map values:
List<String> mapValues = new ArrayList<String>(myHashMap.values());
Collections.sort(mapValues);
Good Luck!
http://snipplr.com/view/2789/sorting-map-keys-by-comparing-its-values/
get the keys
List keys = new ArrayList(yourMap.keySet());
Sort them
Collections.sort(keys)
print them.
In any case, you can't have sorted values in HashMap (according to API This class makes no guarantees as to the order of the map; in particular, it does not guarantee that the order will remain constant over time ].
Though you can push all these values to LinkedHashMap, for later use as well.
Seems like you might want a treemap.
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/util/TreeMap.html
You can pass in a custom comparator to it if that applies.
In Java 8:
Comparator<Entry<String, Item>> valueComparator =
(e1, e2) -> e1.getValue().getField().compareTo(e2.getValue().getField());
Map<String, Item> sortedMap =
unsortedMap.entrySet().stream().
sorted(valueComparator).
collect(Collectors.toMap(Entry::getKey, Entry::getValue,
(e1, e2) -> e1, LinkedHashMap::new));
Using Guava:
Map<String, Item> map = ...;
Function<Item, Integer> getField = new Function<Item, Integer>() {
public Integer apply(Item item) {
return item.getField(); // the field to sort on
}
};
comparatorFunction = Functions.compose(getField, Functions.forMap(map));
comparator = Ordering.natural().onResultOf(comparatorFunction);
Map<String, Item> sortedMap = ImmutableSortedMap.copyOf(map, comparator);
Custom compare function which includes functionality for the Turkish alphabet or other different languages than english.
public <K extends Comparable,V extends Comparable> LinkedHashMap<K,V> sortByKeys(LinkedHashMap<K,V> map){
List<K> keys = new LinkedList<K>(map.keySet());
Collections.sort(keys, (Comparator<? super K>) new Comparator<String>() {
#Override
public int compare(String first, String second) {
Collator collator = Collator.getInstance(Locale.getDefault());
//Collator collator = Collator.getInstance(new Locale("tr", "TR"));
return collator.compare(first, second);
}
});
LinkedHashMap<K,V> sortedMap = new LinkedHashMap<K,V>();
for(K key: keys){
sortedMap.put(key, map.get(key));
}
return sortedMap;
}
here is the using example as the following
LinkedHashMap<String, Boolean> ligList = new LinkedHashMap<String, Boolean>();
ligList = sortByKeys(ligList);
Without any more information, it's hard to know exactly what you want. However, when choosing what data structure to use, you need to take into account what you need it for. Hashmaps are not designed for sorting - they are designed for easy retrieval. So in your case, you'd probably have to extract each element from the hashmap, and put them into a data structure more conducive to sorting, such as a heap or a set, and then sort them there.
If you want to combine a Map for efficient retrieval with a SortedMap, you may use the ConcurrentSkipListMap.
Of course, you need the key to be the value used for sorting.
have you considered using a LinkedHashMap<>()..?
public static void main(String[] args) {
Map<Object, Object> handler = new LinkedHashMap<Object, Object>();
handler.put("item", "Value");
handler.put(2, "Movies");
handler.put("isAlive", true);
for (Map.Entry<Object, Object> entrY : handler.entrySet())
System.out.println(entrY.getKey() + ">>" + entrY.getValue());
List<Map.Entry<String, Integer>> entries = new ArrayList<Map.Entry<String, Integer>>();
Collections.sort(entries, new Comparator<Map.Entry<String, Integer>>() {
public int compare(Map.Entry<String, Integer> a,
Map.Entry<String, Integer> b) {
return a.getValue().compareTo(b.getValue());
}
});
}
results into an organized linked object.
item>>Value
2>>Movies
isAlive>>true
check the sorting part picked from here..
I have developed a class which can be used to sort a map on the basis of keys and values. The basic idea is if you have sort a map using keys then create a TreepMap from your Map which will sort the map by keys. And in case of sorting by values create a list from entrySet and sort the list using comparator interface.
Here is the full solution :
public static void main(String[] args) {
Map<String, Integer> unSortedMap = new LinkedHashMap<String, Integer>();
unSortedMap.put("A", 2);
unSortedMap.put("V", 1);
unSortedMap.put("G", 5);
System.out.println("Unsorted Map :\n");
for (Map.Entry<String, Integer> entry : unSortedMap.entrySet()) {
System.out.println(entry.getKey() + " " + entry.getValue());
}
System.out.println("\n");
System.out.println("Sorting Map Based on Keys :\n");
Map<String, Integer> keySortedMap = new TreeMap<String, Integer>(unSortedMap);
for (Map.Entry<String, Integer> entry : keySortedMap.entrySet()) {
System.out.println(entry.getKey() + " " + entry.getValue());
}
System.out.println("\n");
System.out.println("Sorting Map Based on Values :\n");
List<Entry<String, Integer>> entryList = new ArrayList<Entry<String, Integer>>(unSortedMap.entrySet());
Collections.sort(entryList, new Comparator<Entry<String, Integer>>() {
#Override
public int compare(Entry<String, Integer> obj1, Entry<String, Integer> obj2) {
return obj1.getValue().compareTo(obj2.getValue());
}
});
unSortedMap.clear();
for (Entry<String, Integer> entry : entryList) {
unSortedMap.put(entry.getKey(), entry.getValue());
System.out.println(entry.getKey() + " " + entry.getValue());
}
}
Code is properly tested :D
Sorting HashMap by Value:
As others have pointed out. HashMaps are for easy lookups if you change that or try to sort inside the map itself you will no longer have O(1) lookup.
The code for your sorting is as follows:
class Obj implements Comparable<Obj>{
String key;
ArrayList<Integer> val;
Obj(String key, ArrayList<Integer> val)
{
this.key=key;
this.val=val;
}
public int compareTo(Obj o)
{
/* Write your sorting logic here.
this.val compared to o.val*/
return 0;
}
}
public void sortByValue(Map<String, ArrayList<>> mp){
ArrayList<Obj> arr=new ArrayList<Obj>();
for(String z:mp.keySet())//Make an object and store your map into the arrayList
{
Obj o=new Obj(z,mp.get(z));
arr.add(o);
}
System.out.println(arr);//Unsorted
Collections.sort(arr);// This sorts based on the conditions you coded in the compareTo function.
System.out.println(arr);//Sorted
}
A proper answer.
HashMap<Integer, Object> map = new HashMap<Integer, Object>();
ArrayList<Integer> sortedKeys = new ArrayList<Integer>(map.keySet());
Collections.sort(sortedKeys, new Comparator<Integer>() {
#Override
public int compare(Integer a, Integer b) {
return a.compareTo(b);
}
});
for (Integer key: sortedKeys) {
//map.get(key);
}
Note that HashMap itself cannot maintain sorting, as other answers have pointed out. It's a hash map, and hashed values are unsorted. You can thus either sort the keys when you need to and then access the values in order, as I demonstrated above, or you can find a different collection to store your data, like an ArrayList of Pairs/Tuples, such as the Pair found in Apache Commons:
https://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-lang/apidocs/org/apache/commons/lang3/tuple/Pair.html
Sorting by key:
public static void main(String[] args) {
Map<String,String> map = new HashMap<>();
map.put("b", "dd");
map.put("c", "cc");
map.put("a", "aa");
map = new TreeMap<>(map);
for (String key : map.keySet()) {
System.out.println(key+"="+map.get(key));
}
}

HashMap doesnt maintain any order, so if you want any kind of ordering, you need to store that in something else, which is a map and can have some kind of ordering, like LinkedHashMap
below is a simple program, by which you can sort by key, value, ascending ,descending ..( if you modify the compactor, you can use any kind of ordering, on keys and values)

smkv.sortByKey(true);
System.out.println("After sorting by key descindeng order......");
smkv.sortByKey(false);
System.out.println("After sorting by value ascending order......");
smkv.sortByValue(true);
System.out.println("After sorting by value descindeng order......");
smkv.sortByValue(false);

printMap(map);
}

Collections.sort(list, new Comparator<Entry<String, Integer>>() {

if (order) {
return o1.getValue().compareTo(o2.getValue());
} else {

}
}
});
Map<String, Integer> sortedMap = new LinkedHashMap<String, Integer>();
for (Entry<String, Integer> entry : list) {

Convert hashmap to a ArrayList with a pair class
Hashmap<Object,Object> items = new HashMap<>();
to
List<Pair<Object,Object>> items = new ArrayList<>();
so you can sort it as you want, or list sorted by adding order.
