operator [] abstract method Null safety

V? operator [](
  1. Object? key
)

The value for the given key, or null if key is not in the map.

Some maps allow null as a value. For those maps, a lookup using this operator cannot distinguish between a key not being in the map, and the key being there with a null value. Methods like containsKey or putIfAbsent can be used if the distinction is important.

Implementation

V? operator [](Object? key);
