Properties compute(Key, BiFunction) method in Java with Examples

The compute(Key, BiFunction) method of Properties class allows to compute a mapping for the specified key and its current mapped value (or null if there is no current mapping is found).
- If the remapping function passed in compute() of Properties returns null as a return value then the mapping is removed from Properties(or remains absent if initially absent).
- If the remapping function throws an exception, the exception is rethrown, and the current mapping is left unchanged.
- During computation, modification this map using this method is not allowed.
- This method will throw a ConcurrentModificationException if the remapping function modified this map during computation.
Syntax:
public Object compute?(Object key,
BiFunction remappingFunction)
Parameters: This method accepts two parameters:
- key: key with which the value is to be associated.
- remappingFunction: function to do the operation on value.
Returns: This method returns new value associated with the specified key, or null if none.
Exception: This method throws ConcurrentModificationException if it is detected that the remapping function modified this map.
Below programs illustrate the compute(Key, BiFunction) method:
Program 1:
// Java program to demonstrate// compute(Key, BiFunction) method. import java.util.*; public class GFG { // Main method public static void main(String[] args) { // Create a properties and add some values Properties properties = new Properties(); properties.put("Pen", 10); properties.put("Book", 500); properties.put("Clothes", 400); properties.put("Mobile", 5000); // print Properties details System.out.println("Current Properties: " + properties.toString()); // remap the values of Properties // using compute method properties.compute("Pen", (key, val) -> 15); properties.compute("Clothes", (key, val) -> 120); // print new mapping System.out.println("New Properties: " + properties.toString()); }} |
Output:
Current Properties: {Book=500, Mobile=5000, Pen=10, Clothes=400}
New Properties: {Book=500, Mobile=5000, Pen=15, Clothes=120}
Program 2:
// Java program to demonstrate// compute(Key, BiFunction) method. import java.util.*; public class GFG { // Main method public static void main(String[] args) { // Create a properties and add some values Properties properties = new Properties(); properties.put(1, "100RS"); properties.put(2, "500RS"); properties.put(3, "1000RS"); // print Properties details System.out.println("Current Properties: " + properties.toString()); // remap the values of Properties // using compute method properties.compute(3, (key, val) -> "00RS"); properties.compute(2, (key, val) -> "$"); // print new mapping System.out.println("New Properties: " + properties.toString()); }} |
Output:
Current Properties: {3=1000RS, 2=500RS, 1=100RS}
New Properties: {3=00RS, 2=$, 1=100RS}
