how to iterate through all the Employee objects contained in this treeMap and print it out to the screen?

Question

Thanks for taking the time to look at my question.

I am using a Tree map to add data into my system

private static Map employeeMap = new TreeMap();

I have then created employee objects like so

theEmployee = new Employee(randomIDno,fName, sName, gender, dPayLevel);

I then add it to the tree map like this

employeeMap.put(randomIDno,theEmployee);

I would just like to know how to iterate through all the Employee objects contained in this treeMap and print it out to the screen?

In case you need to sort the elements in a different order than the default one. Override the equals() method for the object or provide a Comparator in the constructor

If you don't care about order or the TreeMap is maintaining order for you, it's quite simple to use the values() method:

for(Employee employee : employeeMap.values()) {
  System.out.println(employee);
}

Thanks!! Yes the treeMap should be keeping order for me anyway. – Binyomin Oct 19 '11 at 02:36
and If I wanted to change an ovjects name or last name would I go for(Employee employee : employeeMap.values()) { employee.setname(value) – Binyomin Oct 19 '11 at 02:43
Yes, if your `Employee` object is mutable that is what you would use. – Bringer128 Oct 19 '11 at 03:10

You could use the Iterator in java

Set s = employeeMap.entrySet();
Iterator i = s.iterator();

while (i.hasNext())
{
    // display each item.
}
