To filter a map based on keys in Kotlin, you can use the `filterKeys` method to create a new map containing only the key-value pairs that meet the filter criteria. This method allows you to create a subset of the original map based on specific key conditions.
We can filter a map based on a range of keys in Kotlin by using the `filterKeys` method to create a new map containing only the key-value pairs that fall within the specified range.
For example,
myMap
with some key-value pairs. In this example, the map has integer keys and string values.filterKeys
method to filter the map based on the specified key range.println
function to verify the filtering.fun main() {
// Declare and initialize a map
val myMap = mapOf(1 to "one", 2 to "two", 3 to "three", 4 to "four", 5 to "five")
// Define the key range
val lowerBound = 2
val upperBound = 4
// Filter the map based on the key range
val filteredMap = myMap.filterKeys { it in lowerBound..upperBound }
// Print the filtered map
println("Filtered Map by Key Range: $filteredMap")
}
Filtered Map by Key Range: {2=two, 3=three, 4=four}
We can filter a map based on specific keys in Kotlin by using the `filterKeys` method to create a new map containing only the key-value pairs that match the specified keys.
For example,
myMap
with some key-value pairs. In this example, the map has integer keys and string values.filterKeys
method to filter the map based on the specified keys.println
function to verify the filtering.fun main() {
// Declare and initialize a map
val myMap = mapOf(1 to "one", 2 to "two", 3 to "three", 4 to "four", 5 to "five")
// Define the specific keys to filter by
val keysToFilter = setOf(1, 3, 5)
// Filter the map based on the specific keys
val filteredMap = myMap.filterKeys { it in keysToFilter }
// Print the filtered map
println("Filtered Map by Specific Keys: $filteredMap")
}
Filtered Map by Specific Keys: {1=one, 3=three, 5=five}
We can filter a map with string keys based on a specific prefix in Kotlin by using the `filterKeys` method to create a new map containing only the key-value pairs that have keys starting with the given prefix.
For example,
myMap
with some key-value pairs. In this example, the map has string keys and string values.filterKeys
method to filter the map based on the specified prefix.println
function to verify the filtering.fun main() {
// Declare and initialize a map
val myMap = mapOf("apple" to "fruit", "banana" to "fruit", "carrot" to "vegetable", "apricot" to "fruit", "blueberry" to "fruit")
// Define the prefix to filter by
val prefix = "ap"
// Filter the map based on the prefix
val filteredMap = myMap.filterKeys { it.startsWith(prefix) }
// Print the filtered map
println("Filtered Map by Prefix: $filteredMap")
}
Filtered Map by Prefix: {apple=fruit, apricot=fruit}
