how to dynamically populate Hashmaps

[quickbix]

hi,

I am reading a xls and want to populate my hashmap with <K,V> where K is the values which I read from xls and V is an integer variable with initial value 1 . if the K already exists then only the vlaue should be incremented and if the vlaue read from the xls is new then a new <K,V> pair should be created with K as the value from xls and V as 1 .

below is the code I am using but encountering following problems-

1) output is unexpected : {10006.0=24, 100020.0=8 , why is there a '=' sign ?
2) either the control does not enter the if condition or the else

whichever ways I am not getting the correct output.

pls help

Where?

but encountering following problems-

Why is that unexpected? On what are your expectations based?

2) either the control does not enter the if condition or the else

Sounds like exactly the way I would expect if / else to behave.

whichever ways I am not getting the correct output.

And so far, only you know what you consider to be correct.

pls help

Sure, once you give us enough to be able to try to help.

To get better help sooner, post a SSCCE (Short, Self Contained, Correct (Compilable), Example) that demonstrates your problem. Use hardcoded data, we're not going to create and read a spreadsheet for a problem that so far appears to have its roots in your need to better understand the Map interface.
