How to put Arraylist<object> as parameter in HashMap in Java? [closed]

Question

I am doing a Java project - Budget manager, which shows how I spend my money. For that purpose, I used Hashmap to store the type of purchase with parameters of String(enum), and Arraylist<Product>. Product is a new class where name and price are to be passed.

How can I put multiple values from ArrayList to the same key in HashMap?

switch (choice) {
    case 1:
        mapProducts.put(Product.Type.FOOD.name(),//add array);
        break;
    case 2:
        mapProducts.put(Product.Type.CLOTHES.name(), );
        break;
    case 3:
        mapProducts.put(Product.Type.ENTERTAINMENT.name(), );
        break;
    case 4:
        mapProducts.put(Product.Type.OTHER.name(), );
        break;
}

Thanks for the help!

Answer 1

You could do it like this:

ArrayList<Product> products = new ArrayList<>();
// add products to list
mapProducts.put(/*String*/, products);
