Hash table and linked list implementation of the Map interface, * with predictable iteration order. This implementation differs from * HashMap in that it maintains a doubly-linked list running through * all of its entries. This linked list defines the iteration ordering, * which is normally the order in which keys were inserted into the map * (insertion-order). Note that insertion order is not affected * if a key is re-inserted into the map. (A key k is * reinserted into a map m if m.put(k, v) is invoked when * m.containsKey(k) would return true immediately prior to * the invocation.) * *
This implementation spares its clients from the unspecified, generally * chaotic ordering provided by {@link HashMap} (and {@link Hashtable}), * without incurring the increased cost associated with {@link TreeMap}. It * can be used to produce a copy of a map that has the same order as the * original, regardless of the original map's implementation: *
* void foo(Map m) { * Map copy = new LinkedHashMap(m); * ... * } ** This technique is particularly useful if a module takes a map on input, * copies it, and later returns results whose order is determined by that of * the copy. (Clients generally appreciate having things returned in the same * order they were presented.) * *
A special {@link #LinkedHashMap(int,float,boolean) constructor} is * provided to create a linked hash map whose order of iteration is the order * in which its entries were last accessed, from least-recently accessed to * most-recently (access-order). This kind of map is well-suited to * building LRU caches. Invoking the put or get method * results in an access to the corresponding entry (assuming it exists after * the invocation completes). The putAll method generates one entry * access for each mapping in the specified map, in the order that key-value * mappings are provided by the specified map's entry set iterator. No * other methods generate entry accesses. In particular, operations on * collection-views do not affect the order of iteration of the backing * map. * *
The {@link #removeEldestEntry(Map.Entry)} method may be overridden to * impose a policy for removing stale mappings automatically when new mappings * are added to the map. * *
This class provides all of the optional Map operations, and * permits null elements. Like HashMap, it provides constant-time * performance for the basic operations (add, contains and * remove), assuming the hash function disperses elements * properly among the buckets. Performance is likely to be just slightly * below that of HashMap, due to the added expense of maintaining the * linked list, with one exception: Iteration over the collection-views * of a LinkedHashMap requires time proportional to the size * of the map, regardless of its capacity. Iteration over a HashMap * is likely to be more expensive, requiring time proportional to its * capacity. * *
A linked hash map has two parameters that affect its performance: * initial capacity and load factor. They are defined precisely * as for HashMap. Note, however, that the penalty for choosing an * excessively high value for initial capacity is less severe for this class * than for HashMap, as iteration times for this class are unaffected * by capacity. * *
Note that this implementation is not synchronized. * If multiple threads access a linked hash map concurrently, and at least * one of the threads modifies the map structurally, it must be * synchronized externally. This is typically accomplished by * synchronizing on some object that naturally encapsulates the map. * * If no such object exists, the map should be "wrapped" using the * {@link Collections#synchronizedMap Collections.synchronizedMap} * method. This is best done at creation time, to prevent accidental * unsynchronized access to the map:
* Map m = Collections.synchronizedMap(new LinkedHashMap(...));* * A structural modification is any operation that adds or deletes one or more * mappings or, in the case of access-ordered linked hash maps, affects * iteration order. In insertion-ordered linked hash maps, merely changing * the value associated with a key that is already contained in the map is not * a structural modification. In access-ordered linked hash maps, * merely querying the map with get is a structural * modification.) * *
The iterators returned by the iterator method of the collections * returned by all of this class's collection view methods are * fail-fast: if the map is structurally modified at any time after * the iterator is created, in any way except through the iterator's own * remove method, the iterator will throw a {@link * ConcurrentModificationException}. Thus, in the face of concurrent * modification, the iterator fails quickly and cleanly, rather than risking * arbitrary, non-deterministic behavior at an undetermined time in the future. * *
Note that the fail-fast behavior of an iterator cannot be guaranteed * as it is, generally speaking, impossible to make any hard guarantees in the * presence of unsynchronized concurrent modification. Fail-fast iterators * throw ConcurrentModificationException on a best-effort basis. * Therefore, it would be wrong to write a program that depended on this * exception for its correctness: the fail-fast behavior of iterators * should be used only to detect bugs. * *
This class is a member of the
*
* Java Collections Framework.
*
* @param More formally, if this map contains a mapping from a key
* {@code k} to a value {@code v} such that {@code (key==null ? k==null :
* key.equals(k))}, then this method returns {@code v}; otherwise
* it returns {@code null}. (There can be at most one such mapping.)
*
* A return value of {@code null} does not necessarily
* indicate that the map contains no mapping for the key; it's also
* possible that the map explicitly maps the key to {@code null}.
* The {@link #containsKey containsKey} operation may be used to
* distinguish these two cases.

public V get(Object key) {
Entry Sample use: this override will allow the map to grow up to 100
* entries and then delete the eldest entry each time a new entry is
* added, maintaining a steady state of 100 entries.
* This method typically does not modify the map in any way,
* instead allowing the map to modify itself as directed by its
* return value. It is permitted for this method to modify
* the map directly, but if it does so, it must return
* false (indicating that the map should not attempt any
* further modification). The effects of returning true
* after modifying the map from within this method are unspecified.
*
* This implementation merely returns false (so that this
* map acts like a normal map - the eldest element is never removed).
*
* @param eldest The least recently inserted entry in the map, or if
* this is an access-ordered map, the least recently accessed
* entry. This is the entry that will be removed it this
* method returns true. If the map was empty prior
* to the put or putAll invocation resulting
* in this invocation, this will be the entry that was just
* inserted; in other words, if the map contains a single
* entry, the eldest entry is also the newest.
* @return true if the eldest entry should be removed
* from the map; false if it should be retained.
