It extends map interface in Java. Below are specific methods of ConcurrentMap interface:

  • Object putIfAbsent(K key, V value):If the specified key is not already associated with a value, associate it with the given value.
  • boolean remove(Object key, Object value):Removes the entry for a key only if currently mapped to a given value.
  • boolean replace(K key, V oldValue, V newValue):Replaces the entry for a key only if currently mapped to a given value.

        m.put(100, "Geeks");
        m.put(101, "For");
        m.put(102, "Geeks");
  
        // Here we cant add Hello because 101 key
        // is already present in ConcurrentHashMap object
        m.putIfAbsent(101, "Hello");
  
        // We can remove entry because 101 key
        // is associated with For value
        m.remove(101, "For");
  
        // Now we can add Hello
        m.putIfAbsent(101, "Hello");
  
        // We can replace Hello with For
        m.replace(101, "Hello", "For");
        System.out.println(m);
    }
