Last Updated : 11 Jul, 2025
The get(key) method of Properties class is used to get the value mapped to this key, passed as the parameter, in this Properties object. This method will fetch the corresponding value to this key, if present, and return it. If there is no such mapping, then it returns null. Syntax:
public Object get(Object key)
Parameters: This method accepts a parameter key whose mapping is to be checked in this Properties object. Returns: This method returns the value fetched corresponding to this key, if present. If there is no such mapping, then it returns null. Below programs illustrate the get(key) method: Program 1:
