keySet

public java.util.Set keySet()

Returns a read-only set view of the keys contained in this map. The set does not support any add or remove operations. The 'keySet().iterator()' method may be used to iterate over the keys in this table (as long as the table is not modified between iterations).

Specified by:

entrySet

public java.util.Set entrySet()

Returns a read-only set view of the mappings contained in this map. The set does not support any add or remove operations. The 'entrySet().iterator()' method may be used to iterate over the entries in this table (as long as the table is not modified between iterations).
