Search Method on a HashMap

Question

I need to print the details of the employee that the user inputs. So far all I can get is the name. Can anyone give me a hand with this?

EmployeeStore

public void add(Employee employee)
{       
    map.put(employee.getEmployeeName(), employee);
}

public Employee searchByName(String name) 
{
    System.out.println(name);
    return map.get(name);    
}

---

Usage

EmployeeStore Store = new EmployeeStore();
Store.add(new Employee ("James O' Carroll", 18,"hotmail.com"));
Store.add(new Employee ("Andy Carroll", 1171,"yahoo.com"));
Store.add(new Employee ("Luis Suarez", 7,"gmail.com"));
Store.searchByName("James O' Carroll");

Answer 1

You are printing the key, not the value stored at the key.

public Employee searchByName(String name) 
{
    Employee employee = map.get(name);    
    System.out.println(employee.toString());
    return employee;
}

Assuming the Employer class has defined a toString() method.
