collectionMystery3

Language/Type: Java collection mystery collections

Write the output that is printed when the given method below is passed each of the following pairs of maps as its parameter. Recall that maps print in a {key1=value1, key2=value2, ..., keyN=valueN} format. You should assume that when looping over the map, it loops over the keys in the order that they are declared below. 

public static void collectionMystery3(HashMap<String, String> map) {
    ArrayList<String> list = new ArrayList<String>();
    for (String key : map.keySet()) {
        if (map.get(key).length() > key.length()) {
            list.add(map.get(key));
        } else {
            list.add(0, key);
            list.remove(map.get(key));
        }
    }
    System.out.println(list);
}
{horse=cow, cow=horse, dog=cat, ok=yo}
{bye=hello, bird=dog, hi=hello, hyena=apple, fruit=meat}
{a=b, c=d, e=a, ff=a, gg=c, hhh=ff}
