import java.util.*;

class Foo
{
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        Map stateMap = new HashMap();
        stateMap.put("ALABAMA", "AL");
        stateMap.put("ALASKA", "AK");
        // ...
        stateMap.put("WYOMING", "WY");

        for (Map.Entry state : stateMap.entrySet()) {
             System.out.printf(
                "The abbreviation for %s is %s%n",
                state.getKey(),
                state.getValue()
            );
        }
    }
}
