Example
Return all the keys in a map:
java
import java.util.HashMap;
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
HashMap<String, String> capitalCities = new HashMap<String, String>();
capitalCities.put("England", "London");
capitalCities.put("Germany", "Berlin");
capitalCities.put("Norway", "Oslo");
capitalCities.put("USA", "Washington DC");
System.out.println(capitalCities.keySet());
}
}
Definition and Usage
The keySet() method returns a set containing all of the keys in the map.
To learn about sets, see the Java HashSet tutorial.
Note: The returned set is a view of the map, which means that changing the set also changes the map.
Syntax

K refers to the data type of the keys of the map.
