10.1 HashMap — the biggest value

Total: 0 / 3 pts

Practice mode — check each part and get hints as you go.

Task

Fill in biggest so that it returns the key whose value is the largest.

The program prints apple — the key with value 5. Return the key, not the number.

Your solution

import java.util.Map;
import java.util.TreeMap;

public class Main {

    public static String biggest(Map<String, Integer> counts) {
        // return the key whose value is largest

    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Map<String, Integer> m = new TreeMap<String, Integer>();
        m.put("pear", 3);
        m.put("apple", 5);
        m.put("fig", 1);
        System.out.println(biggest(m));
    }
}
