Question

In Python I’m using a dictionary display:

myAnonDict = {'foo': 23, 'bar': 'helloworld'}

Is there an equivalent in Java?

[edited ‘anonymous dictionary’ to read ‘dictionary display’]

Answer 1

Map<String, String> myMap = new HashMap<String, String>();
myMap.put("foo", "23");
myMap.put("bar", "helloworld");

This is different from yours because yours has heterogeneous data types whereas mine deals in Strings only. You can actually have mixed collections in Java, too, but I hate doing that. Kind of defeats the purpose of strong typing.
