hi

  Map is collection class.  it  is composed of unique key object and value object.

 

i.e  Map<integer , String > mapSample = new Map<integer , String>();

it will like a table below. 

 

---------------------------------

key               value

1                    "hello world"

2                    "hello world"

3                    "hi"

..                     ..

 

----------------------------------

The key for every value should be unique.

there are alreay have many method to get or  every value or key from map.map you can download  the book named "apex_language_reference". it will help you understand it well.

Maps are collections of key-value pairs. The key for a map entry must be a primitive data type, while the value can be a primitive sObject, Apex object, or collection. You can have up to five levels of collections within a map.

 

You can assign key-value pairs to a map when you declare the map, with a syntax of the following :

 

Map<String, String> cityState = new Map<String, String>

{'Toledo' => 'Ohio', 'Chicago' => 'Illinois',

'Ann Arbor' => 'Michigan'}

Maps require the use of methods to retrieve values, and map methods are slightly different

from the common methods used by lists and sets.
