/**
 * Map是把key映射到value的对象. 一个map不能包含重复的key;
 * 每个key最多只能映射一个value.
 *
 * Map接口完全地取代了Dictionary类,Dictionary是抽象类而不是接口.
 *
 * Map接口提供了三个集合视图, 允许map内容被作为keys、values、keys-values集合
 * map的元素的顺序为迭代器返回元素的顺序
 * map的一些实现类像TreeMap保证具体的元素顺序,但是像hashMap却没有定义顺序
 * 注意:如果使用可变对象最为map的keys一定要非常小心。
 * 当map中的key是object,key的值value通过改变equals()比较,那么map的行为是不可指定的
 * 这个禁令的特例是map不可以将自己作为key,尽管map可以将自己作为为value,但建议要非常小心,因为
 * equals()和hashCode()在map中不在被定义
 *
 * 所有通用map的实现类应该提供两个标准的构造方法,一个是用来创建空map无参构造函数,一个是提供一个Map类型的参数来创建
 * 具有相同keys-values的map来作为参数,事实上,后者构造方法可以让用户复制一切map,产生所需要的等效map.
 * 没有办法强制推荐,因为接口不包含构造方法,但是在JDK中所有的通用map都实现了。
 *
 * 在Map接口中包含“破环性”的方法,他们的方法会修改map,如果map不支持此类操作将会抛出UnsupportedOperationException、
 * 如果调用对map没有影响这种情况,可能会抛出UnsupportedOperationException。例如:
 * 如果map映射叠加为空,调用putAll(Map)并未修改map,这种不是必须抛出异常
 *
 * 一些map实现对它们的key-value是有限制的,例如一些map禁止key,value为null,有些对它们的key也会有限制
 * ,当尝试插入不合格的key-value是就会抛出未检查的异常,特别是NullPointerException或者ClassCastException
 * 尝试查询现有不合格key-value可能抛出一个异常或者返回false,一些实现会表现为类似前者的行为,也有一些会表现为
 * 后者。更通常是的,尝试对不合格的key,value进行操作,其结果不会让不合格的key,value插入到map中导致抛出异常或执行
 * 成功,此异常在此规范中被标记为可选
 *
 * 在Collections Framework interfaces 中许多方法都是根据equals()方法定义的,
 * 例如:containsKey(Object):如果仅是map中包含一个key返回true
