Find duplicate values in Java Map?

Viewed 64291

I want to display the values in a HashMap. A HashMap may have duplicate values (but not duplicate keys), but I want to display a value only once.

So I should find whether the Map has duplicate values. I know we can iterate over the Map and use the return boolean of map.containsValue(value). I want to know whether any method exists to find duplicate values in map or we should I write code myself?

public static void main(String[] args) {

        HashMap<String, Integer> map = new HashMap<>();
        map.put("abc", 2);
        map.put("def", 1);
        map.put("hij", 4);
        map.put("klm", 6);
        map.put("nop", 2);
        map.put("qrs", 2);
        map.put("tuv", 6);
        map.put("wxy", 8);
        map.put("zab", 1);
        map.put("cde", 5);
        map.put("fgh", 4);
        map.put("ijk", 3);

        HashMap<Integer, String> duplicatMap = new HashMap<>();

        Set<Entry<String, Integer>> entrySet = map.entrySet();
        Iterator<Entry<String, Integer>> iterator = entrySet.iterator();
        while(iterator.hasNext()) {
            Entry<String, Integer> entry = iterator.next();
            String key = entry.getKey();
            Integer value = entry.getValue();

            if(duplicatMap.containsKey(value)) {
                duplicatMap.put(value, duplicatMap.get(value)+", "+key);
            } else {
                duplicatMap.put(value, key);
            }
        }
        System.out.println(duplicatMap);

    } 

outPut: - {1=def, zab, 2=abc, qrs, nop, 3=ijk, 4=fgh, hij, 5=cde, 6=tuv, klm, 8=wxy} if you want to modify then use again EntrySet.

try this code but this is not optimize code :

public class HashMapDulicate {
    public static void main(String[] args) {        
        Map<String,Integer> map=new HashMap<>();
        map.put("A", 1);
        map.put("B", 1);
        map.put("C", 3);
        map.put("D", 4);


        Set set=new HashSet<>();
        List list=new ArrayList<>();

        for(Entry<String, Integer> mapVal:map.entrySet()) {

            if(!set.add(mapVal.getValue())) {
                list.add(mapVal.getValue());

            }else {
                set.add(mapVal.getValue());
            }

        }

for(Entry<String, Integer> mapVal:map.entrySet()) {

    if(list.contains(mapVal.getValue())){

        System.out.println(mapVal.getKey() +":" + mapVal.getValue());
    }
}
    }
}
Map<Integer,Person> personMap01 = new HashMap<>();
personMap01.put(1,new Person(101,"Ram","Kumar"));
personMap01.put(2,new Person(103,"Raj","Kumar"));
personMap01.put(3,new Person(101,"Ravi","Ram"));
personMap01.put(4,new Person(105,"Gopi","Nath"));
personMap01.put(5,new Person(104,"Yogesh","Waran"));
personMap01.entrySet().stream().
filter(removeDuplicate(personMap01.values())).
forEach(System.out::println);

public static Predicate<Map.Entry<Integer,Person>> 
removeDuplicate(Collection<Person> personCollection){
    return e->Collections.frequency(personCollection,e.getValue())==1;
}
