Public Method values

Collection values()

_INSERT_METHOD_SIGNATURE_HERE_

Description:

Implements interface method Map.values.

This implementation returns a collection that subclasses abstract collection. The subclass's iterator method returns a "wrapper object" over this map's entrySet() iterator. The size method delegates to this map's size method and the contains method delegates to this map's containsValue method.

The collection is created the first time this method is called, and returned in response to all subsequent calls. No synchronization is performed, so there is a slight chance that multiple calls to this method will not all return the same Collection.
