Get Environment Variable Java

In this example we are getting environment variable. To get the environment variable we use getenv() method.

In this example we are getting environment variable. To get the environment variable we use getenv() method.

Map is an interface that stores the objects in the form of key/value pairs. Map interface does not allow duplicate keys. Set is also an interface that extends the Collection interface and like the Map it also does not allow the duplicate elements.

Methods used:

getenv(): The method getenv() is an static method of the System class and gets the information about environment variable.

get(key): This method is used to get the key values from a map class.

The code of the program is given below:


import java.util.Map;

import java.util.Set;

import java.util.Iterator;

 

public class EnvironmentInformation{

  public static void main(String[] args){

  Map map = System.getenv();

  Set keys = map.keySet();

  Iterator iterator = keys.iterator();

  System.out.println("Variable Name \t Variable Values");

  while (iterator.hasNext()){

  String key = (String) iterator.next();

  String value = (String) map.get(key);

  System.out.println(key + " " + value);

  }

  }

}

The output of the program is given below:
