<\/span><\/h2>\nTo retrieve the value of a specific key in a Map, you can use the `get()` method provided by the Map interface. The `get()` method takes a key as its argument and returns the value associated with that key. Here is an example:<\/p>\n
“`java
\nimport java.util.HashMap;
\nimport java.util.Map;<\/p>\n
public class MapExample {<\/p>\n
public static void main(String[] args) {<\/p>\n
\/\/ Create a new HashMap
\n Map numberMap = new HashMap<>();<\/p>\n \/\/ Add key-value pairs to the map
\n numberMap.put(“one”, 1);
\n numberMap.put(“two”, 2);
\n numberMap.put(“three”, 3);<\/p>\n
\/\/ Get the value of a specific key
\n int value = numberMap.get(“two”);<\/p>\n
\/\/ Print the value
\n System.out.println(“The value of ‘two’ is: ” + value);
\n }
\n}
\n“`
\nThe value of ‘two’ is: 2<\/b><\/p>\n
In this example, we create a HashMap called `numberMap` and add three key-value pairs to it. Then, we use the `get()` method with the key “two” to retrieve the associated value, which is 2.<\/p>\n
