Retrieving objects from a HashMap using java

Suppose开发者_运维百科 that you have:

Map<something of enum type, Object>;

If you know the enum, how do you gain access to the ObjecT?

For enums it works the same way as for maps in general:

Object value = map.get(enumKey);

Note that with enum keys, it is recommended to use an EnumMap instead of HashMap.

Use get:

Object result = map.get(key);

Enums are objects in java. As such, they can be used as keys in the get method.
