The preceding code gives me compile error. I tried to find out why but could not figure out. Any ideas ?

Sam, your print statement references a method which is undefined in your class (containsValue()). You should associate the method with the HashMap object you created.

the last code will always prints false..
u have to use hm.containsValue("Chess");
please correct me if i'm wrong..
the correct code is
<code>
import java.util.*;
public class MyClass
{
public static void main (String args[])
{
HashMap hm = new HashMap();
hm.put(new Integer("1"),"Tic tac toe");
hm.put(new Integer("3"),"Checkers");
hm.put(new Integer("2"),"Hockey");
hm.put(new Integer("4"),"Chess");
System.out.println(hm.containsKey(new Integer("1")));
System.out.println(hm.containsValue("Chess"));
}}
</code>
thanks
