        abstractMap.put("hello-1", "Educative");
        abstractMap.put("hello-2", "edpresso");

## Explanation

- Line 5: We define an abstract map. The abstract map has the implementation of the hash map.
- Lines 6–8: We use the `put()` method to add entries to the map.
- Line 9: We invoke the `values()` method to obtain the values of the map. We then print these values.
