Collection : Undefined k,v in Map

Question

i am learning about collection from this site

Where the guy gave the example

import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.Map;

public class MapTester {

public static void main(String[] args) {

// keys are Strings
// objects are also Strings
Map<String, String> map = new HashMap<>();
fillData(map);

// write to command line
map.forEach((k, v) -> System.out.printf("%s %s%n", k, v));

// add and remove from the map
map.put("iPhone", "Created by Apple");
map.remove("Android");

// write again to command line
map.forEach((k, v) -> System.out.printf("%s %s%n", k, v));

}

private static void fillData(Map<String, String> map) {
map.put("Android", "Mobile");
map.put("Eclipse IDE", "Java");
map.put("Eclipse RCP", "Java");
map.put("Git", "Version control system");

}

} 

although in above program i can understand that k and v variable are undefined or not present locally.

map.forEach((k, v) -> System.out.printf("%s %s%n", k, v));

and facing the issue with same line.

Please help me learning the collections.

It is working fine on my system. Can you check are you using JDK8? Lamdas support introduced in JAVA 8. You can test java version by using java --version .

Answer of this question

You need to be using 4.4 (Luna) to get Java 8 support.

Might be useful for someone who checked it later.
