The most successful MSPs rely on metrics – known as key performance indicators (KPIs) – for making informed decisions that help their businesses thrive, rather than just survive. This eBook provides an overview of the most important KPIs used by top MSPs.
mapShare challenge
Hi,
I am working on below challenge
http://codingbat.com/prob/p148813
does the 'a' key corresponding value remains same in output map as in below case "aaa"?
mapShare({"b": "bbb", "c": "ccc", "a": "aaa"}) → {"b": "aaa", "a": "aaa"}
please advise

Map-1 > mapShare
prev | next | chance
Modify and return the given map as follows: if the key "a" has a value, set the key "b" to have that same value. In all cases remove the key "c", leaving the rest of the map unchanged.
mapShare({"b": "bbb", "c": "ccc", "a": "aaa"}) → {"b": "aaa", "a": "aaa"}
mapShare({"b": "xyz", "c": "ccc"}) → {"b": "xyz"}
mapShare({"d": "hi", "c": "meh", "a": "aaa"}) → {"d": "hi", "b": "aaa", "a": "aaa"}
does the 'a' key corresponding value remains same in output map as in below case "aaa"?
mapShare({"b": "bbb", "c": "ccc", "a": "aaa"}) → {"b": "aaa", "a": "aaa"}

Think of the characteristics and methods for different types of maps -
Modify and return the given map as follows: if the key "a" has a value [contains], set the key [put] "b" to have that same value [get]. In all cases remove the key "c" [remove], leaving the rest of the map unchanged [need a map that preserves order].

above passes all tests. any improvements or alternate approaches?
You might consolidate some of the steps -
map.remove"c"; ==> in all cases
if (map.containsKey("a") {
map.put("b",map.get("a"));
map.put("a","");
}
map.remove"c"; ==> in all cases
if (map.containsKey("a") {
map.put("b",map.get("a"));
map.put("a","");
}
public Map<String, String> mapShare(Map<String, String> map) {
if(map.containsKey("a")){
// String val=map.get("a");
// String backup=val;
map.put("b",map.get("a"));
// map.put("a","");
map.remove("c");
}
// else{
// map.remove("c");
// }
return map;
}
above failse one test if i try to remove c in all cases

You DON'T remove "c" in all cases.
If you would remove instead of comment out old code ànd indent your code well, you would have seen that your

You had this:

You see the difference?
Without comments, your code is -
if (map.containsKey("a")) {
map.put("b",map.get("a"));
map.remove("c");
}
return map;
You need to remove "c" whether "a" exists or not -
map.remove("c"); ==> note - if "c" doesn't exist, nothing will happen, if it does, the record is removed from the map
if (map.containsKey("a")) {
map.put("b",map.get("a"));
map.put("a",""); ==> this is still needed
}
if (map.containsKey("a")) {
map.put("b",map.get("a"));
map.remove("c");
}
return map;

map.put("b", backup);

return map;

i see it is in if loop
public Map < String, String > mapShare(Map < String, String > map) {
map.remove("c");
if (map.containsKey("a")) {
// String val=map.get("a");
// String backup=val;
map.put("b", map.get("a"));
// map.put("a","");
//map.remove("c");
}
// else{
// map.remove("c");
// }
return map;
}
