Example 1

import java.util.*;
public class EnumMapPutExample1 {
     // create an enum  
   public enum Tutorial {
    Java, Python, PHP, Android, Javascript
   };
   public static void main(String[] args) {
    EnumMap< Tutorial, String> map = 
    		new EnumMap< Tutorial, String>( Tutorial.class);

    map.put(Tutorial.Java, "1");
    map.put(Tutorial.Python, "2");
    map.put(Tutorial.PHP, "3");
    map.put(Tutorial.Android, "4");
    //print the map
    System.out.println("Map: "+map);    
    String oldValue1 = map.put(Tutorial.Javascript, "5");
    String oldValue2 = map.put(Tutorial.Java, "20");
    //print the updated map
    System.out.println("Updated Map: " + map);
    System.out.println("First update returns: "+oldValue1);
    System.out.println("Second update returns: "+oldValue2);
  } 
}

      public static void main(String[] args) {  
      //create and populate enum map  
      EnumMap< Months, String> map = 
    		  new EnumMap< Months, String> (Months.class);
	   
      map.put(Months.January,"1");  
      map.put(Months.February,"2");  
      map.put(Months.March,"3");     
      map.put(Months.April,"4");      
      //print the map
      System.out.println("Map: "+map);    
      String oldValue1 = map.put(Months.May, "5");
      String oldValue2 = map.put(Months.March, "15");
      //print the updated map
      System.out.println("Updated Map: "+map);
      System.out.println("First update returns: "+oldValue1);
      System.out.println("Second update returns: "+oldValue2);
    }
}

Test it Now

Output:

Map: {January=1, February=2, March=3, April=4}
Updated Map: {January=1, February=2, March=15, April=4, May=5}
First update returns: null
Second update returns: 3

Example 3

import java.util.*;
public class EnumMapPutExample3 {
   // create an enum  
   public enum Days {
    Monday,Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday
   };
   public static void main(String[] args) {
      EnumMap<Days, String>  map = new EnumMap<Days, String> (Days.class);
	
      map.put(Days.Monday, "1");
      map.put(Days.Tuesday, "2");
      map.put(Days.Wednesday, "3");	      
     //print the map
     System.out.println("Map: "+map);    
     String oldValue1 = map.put(Days.Thursday, "4");
     String oldValue2 = map.put(null, "9");
     //print the updated map
     System.out.println("Updated Map: " + map);
     System.out.println("First update returns: "+oldValue1);
     System.out.println("Second update returns: "+oldValue2);
   }
}
