For 2023 (and 2024 ...) - we are now fully retired from IT training.
We have made many, many friends over 25 years of teaching about Python, Tcl, Perl, PHP, Lua, Java, C and C++ - and MySQL, Linux and Solaris/SunOS too. Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own risk.

Lisa and I (Graham) now live in what was our training centre in Melksham - happy to meet with former delegates here - but do check ahead before coming round. We are far from inactive - rather, enjoying the times that we are retired but still healthy enough in mind and body to be active!

I am also active in many other area and still look after a lot of web sites - you can find an index ((here))
how to get index of key from hash table

Posted by sachin_chat (sachin_chat), 27 July 2006
is there any way by which i can get the index of key- value pair  which i have added to hashtable.

i am not sure how enteried are doen in hashtable. if they are done sequentially then the index of key - value pair (or key) is nothing but size -1 . but i m not very sure about this.

is there any way to get this index?

When you call back entries from a Java Hashtable, they won't come back in the order they were put in, nor in alphabetic or natural sort order of the keys.  The order will appear to be random, though of course it's far from that.

To extract all the keys, use the keys method which returns you an Emumeration object. The nextElement and hasMoreElements methods let you iterate through the keys.  There's an example of how an emumerator works here
