How to get the player with maximum points in a Java hashmap-CodePudding

I am trying to beat a sololearn challenge where we store the name of a player in a hashmap and then I am needed to iterate through the values of each player hashmap and get the name of the player with the highest score. I have been given a template code but do not have any idea on how to complete the class Bowling with a method called getWinner() to get the name of the player with the maximum points please help

import java.util.*; 

public class Bowling {
    HashMap<String, Integer> players;
    Bowling() {
        players = new HashMap<String, Integer>();
    }
    public void addPlayer(String name, int p) {
        players.put(name, p);
    }
    //your code goes here
    void getWinner(){
     //help me complete this to get the name or the winner
    }
}

public class Program {
    public static void main(String[ ] args) {
        Bowling game = new Bowling();
        Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);

        for(int i=0;i<3;i  ) {
            String input = sc.nextLine();
            String[] values = input.split(" ");
            String name = values[0];
            int points = Integer.parseInt(values[1]);
            game.addPlayer(name, points);
        }
        game.getWinner();
    }
}

CodePudding user response：

You get the entrySet (key, value), use a Comparator and compare them by the value and use Collections.max() to get the highest value. After this just get the key and you have the player name:

Collections.max(players.entrySet(), Comparator.comparingInt(Map.Entry::getValue)).getKey();
