| Description | A HashMap stores a collection of objects, each referenced by a key. This is similar to an Array, only instead of accessing elements with a numeric index, a String is used. (If you are familiar with associative arrays from other languages, this is the same idea.) The above example covers basic use, but there's a more extensive example included with the Processing examples. For a list of the numerous HashMap features, please read the Java reference description. |
