adding objects to HashMap that have duplicate keys

[Rachel Glenn]

If I have a HashMap, and I call .put() several times with the same key..for example..

map1.put("Monday", "temp1"); 
map1.put("Monday", "temp2");

Then the first put() call will return true and the second put() call will return false because the "Monday" key already exists?

put doesn't return a boolean. put returns the previous value. So, first call will return null and second call will return the first object
