Write a Java program to get the value of a specified key in a map.

Sample Solution:-

Java Code:

import java.util.*;  
public class Example10 {  
    public static void main(String args[]){  
   HashMap<Integer,String> hash_map= new HashMap<Integer,String>();  
   hash_map.put(1,"Red");
  hash_map.put(2,"Green");
  hash_map.put(3,"Black");
  hash_map.put(4,"White");
  hash_map.put(5,"Blue");
     // get value of key 3
   String val=(String)hash_map.get(3); 
   // check the value
   System.out.println("Value for key 3 is: " + val);
 }
}

Sample Output:

Value for key 3 is: Black
