map traversal judgment filter deletion
- If you use the put, remove, or clear methods for a map (for example, map.remove), the iterator is no longer legal (and a ConcurrentModificationException will be thrown if you use the iterator later)
- When the Iterator.remove method causes the map to change, it updates the cursor to synchronize the change.
Refer to jdk document description:
The iterators returned by all of this class's "collection view methods" are fail-fast: if the map is structurally modified at any time after the iterator is created, in any way except through the iterator's own remove method, the iterator will throw a ConcurrentModificationException. Thus, in the face of concurrent modification, the iterator fails quickly and cleanly, rather than risking arbitrary, non-deterministic behavior at an undetermined time in the future.
Conclusion: iterative deletion should be used
Extension
For other collections such as list, iterative deletion is also required for deletion during traversal
Test demo
private static Map<Integer, String> map=new HashMap<Integer,String>(); public static void iterTest(){ map.put(1,"one"); map.put(2,"two"); map.put(3,"three"); map.put(4,"four"); map.put(5,"five"); map.put(6,"six"); map.put(7,"seven"); map.put(8,"eight"); map.put(5,"five"); map.put(9,"nine"); map.put(10,"ten"); Iterator<Map.Entry<Integer, String>> iter = map.entrySet().iterator(); while(iter.hasNext()){ Map.Entry<Integer, String> entry=iter.next(); int key=entry.getKey(); if(key%2==1){ System.out.println("delete this: "+key+" = "+key); //map.put(key, "odd"); / / ConcurrentModificationException //map.remove(key); //ConcurrentModificationException iter.remove(); //OK } } //Traverses the current map; this new for loop cannot modify the map content because it does not pass through the iterator. System.out.println("-------\n\t Final map Element traversal for:"); for(Map.Entry<Integer, String> entry:map.entrySet()){ int k=entry.getKey(); String v=entry.getValue(); System.out.println(k+" = "+v); } }
Run iterTest() in the main method, and the output is:
------- Element traversal of the final map: 2 = two 4 = four 6 = six 8 = eight 10 = ten
If will
iter.remove();
replace with
map.put(key, "Odd number"); //Or map.remove(key);
ConcurrentModificationException will be reported
