- - ### Constructor Detail

    - #### AbstractMapEntry

          protected AbstractMapEntry(K key,
                          V value)

      Constructs a new entry with the given key and given value.
      Parameters:
        `key` - the key for the entry, may be null
        `value` - the value for the entry, may be null

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### setValue

          public V setValue(V value)

      Sets the value stored in this `Map.Entry`.

      This `Map.Entry` is not connected to a Map, so only the local data is changed.

      Specified by:
        `setValue` in interface `Map.Entry<K,V>`
      Overrides:
        `setValue` in class `AbstractKeyValue<K,V>`
      Parameters:
        `value` - the new value
      Returns:
        the previous value

    - #### equals

          public boolean equals(Object obj)

      Compares this `Map.Entry` with another `Map.Entry`.

      Implemented per API documentation of `Map.Entry.equals(Object)`

      Specified by:
        `equals` in interface `Map.Entry<K,V>`
      Overrides:
        `equals` in class `Object`
      Parameters:
        `obj` - the object to compare to
      Returns:
        true if equal key and value

    - #### hashCode

          public int hashCode()

      Gets a hashCode compatible with the equals method.

      Implemented per API documentation of `Map.Entry.hashCode()`

      Specified by:
        `hashCode` in interface `Map.Entry<K,V>`
      Overrides:
        `hashCode` in class `Object`
      Returns:
        a suitable hash code
