import java.util.Set;

Defines a map that allows bidirectional lookup between key and values.

This extended Map represents a mapping where a key may
lookup a value and a value may lookup a key with equal ease.
This interface extends Map and so may be used anywhere a map
is required. The interface provides an inverse map view, enabling
full access to both directions of the BidiMap.

Implementations should allow a value to be looked up from a key and
a key to be looked up from a value with equal performance.
 This map enforces the restriction that there is a 1:1 relation between keys and values, meaning that multiple keys cannot map to the same value. This is required so that "inverting" the map results in a map without duplicate keys. See the put method description for more information. 
Type parameters:
<K> – the type of the keys in the map
<V> – the type of the values in the map
Since:
3.0/**

public interface BidiMap<K, V> extends IterableMap<K, V> {

    
Puts the key-value pair into the map, replacing any previous pair.

When adding a key-value pair, the value may already exist in the map
against a different key. That mapping is removed, to ensure that the
value only occurs once in the inverse map.
 BidiMap map1 = new DualHashBidiMap();
 map.put("A","B");  // contains A mapped to B, as per Map
 map.put("A","C");  // contains A mapped to C, as per Map
 BidiMap map2 = new DualHashBidiMap();
 map.put("A","B");  // contains A mapped to B, as per Map
 map.put("C","B");  // contains C mapped to B, key A is removed

Params:
key –  the key to store
value –  the value to store
Throws:
UnsupportedOperationException – if the put method is not supported
ClassCastException – (optional) if the map limits the type of the
 value and the specified value is inappropriate
IllegalArgumentException – (optional) if the map limits the values
 in some way and the value was invalid
NullPointerException – (optional) if the map limits the values to
 non-null and null was specified
Returns:
the previous value mapped to this key/**

Gets a view of this map where the keys and values are reversed.

Changes to one map will be visible in the other and vice versa.
This enables both directions of the map to be accessed as a Map.

Implementations should seek to avoid creating a new object every time this
method is called. See AbstractMap.values() etc. Calling this
method on the inverse map should return the original.
Returns:

Returns a Set view of the values contained in this map. The set is backed by the map, so changes to the map are reflected in the set, and vice-versa. If the map is modified while an iteration over the set is in progress (except through the iterator's own remove operation), the results of the iteration are undefined. The set supports element removal, which removes the corresponding mapping from the map, via the Iterator.remove, Collection.remove, removeAll, retainAll and clear operations. It does not support the add or addAll operations.
