Use HashMap to Call Methods
Hi Guys, Need help with an Assignment.
I need to create a HashMap, then use it to be able to call methods.
For example:
//Maps Key words to responses
private HashMap<String, String> mapResponder;
//Constructor
mapResponder = new HashMap<String, String>();
fillResponseMap();
/**
* List of the responders
*/
private void fillResponseMap()
{
mapResponder.put ("cold",
"I WANT TO LINK THIS TO A METHOD");
mapResponder.put ("circle",
"I WANT TO LINK THIS TO CALL A METHOD");
}
Re: Use HashMap to Call Methods
Please explain what "LINK THIS TO A METHOD" means?
What will the method do? How will it be called?
If the value put in the HashMap is an instance of a class, that object could be of a class with a method that can be called.
If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.
