Example 1

import java.util.*;  
public class EnumMapCloneExample1 {  
   // create an enum
  public enum Tutorial {
  Java, Python, PHP, Android,  AngularJS
  };
   public static void main(String[] args) {
   //create and populate enum map  
   EnumMap<Tutorial, String>  map1 =
              new EnumMap<Tutorial, String> (Tutorial.class);
   EnumMap<Tutorial, String>  map2 =
              new EnumMap<Tutorial, String> (Tutorial.class);

   map1.put(Tutorial.Java,"1");
   map1.put(Tutorial.Python,"2");
   map1.put(Tutorial.PHP,"3");
   map1.put(Tutorial.Android,"4");
   map1.put(Tutorial.AngularJS,"5");
   // print the map1 and map2  
   System.out.println("Values of map before cloning:");
   System.out.println("map1:"+map1);
   System.out.println("map2:"+map2);
   // clone the map1  
   map2 = map1.clone();
  // print the map1 and map2 again  
   System.out.println("Values of map after cloning:");
   System.out.println("map1:"+map1);
   System.out.println("map2:"+map2);
   }
}

Test it Now

Output:

Values of map before cloning:
map1:{ Java=1, Python=2, PHP=3, Android=4, AngularJS=5}
map2:{}
Values of map after cloning:
map1:{ Java=1, Python=2, PHP=3, Android=4, AngularJS=5}
map2:{ Java=1, Python=2, PHP=3, Android=4, AngularJS=5}

Example 2

import java.util.*;  
public class EnumMapCloneExample2 {  
   // create an enum  
   public enum Days {  
   Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday  
   };  
   public static void main(String[] args) {  
   //create and populate enum map  
   EnumMap<Days, String> map1= new EnumMap<Days, String>(Days.class);  
   EnumMap<Days, String> map2= new EnumMap<Days, String>(Days.class);  

   map1.put(Days.Monday,"1");  
   map1.put(Days.Tuesday,"2");  
   map1.put(Days.Wednesday,"3");  
   map1.put(Days.Thursday,"4");  
   // print the map1 and map2  
   System.out.println("Values of map before cloning:");
   System.out.println("map1:"+map1);
   System.out.println("map2:"+map2);
   // clone the map1  
   map2 = map1.clone();
  // print the map1 and map2 again  
   System.out.println("Values of map after cloning:");
   System.out.println("map1:"+map1);
   System.out.println("map2:"+map2);
   }    
}  

Test it Now

Output:

Values of map before cloning:
map1:{Monday=1, Tuesday=2, Wednesday=3, Thursday=4}
map2:{}
Values of map after cloning:
map1:{Monday=1, Tuesday=2, Wednesday=3, Thursday=4}
map2:{Monday=1, Tuesday=2, Wednesday=3, Thursday=4}
