Idiom #334 Combine 2 maps

Create the new map c containing all of the (key, value) entries of the two maps a and b.

Explain what happens for keys existing in both a and b.

Java

import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.Map;

Map<K, V> c = new HashMap<>(a);
c.putAll(b);

final c = {...a, ...b};

c := make(M, len(a)+len(b))
for k, v := range a {
	c[k] = v
}
for k, v := range b {
	c[k] = v
}

Demo

let c = {...a, ...b}
