A **`LinkedHashMap`** is the same as `HashMap`, except the `LinkedHashMap` maintains the insertion order, whereas the `HashMap` doesn’t. Internally, the `LinkedHashMap` uses the doubly-linked list to maintain the insertion order. 
>Read more about `LinkedHashMap` [here](https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/util/LinkedHashMap.html).

The **`isEmpty` method** of `LinkedHashMap` is used to check if the specified `LinkedHashMap` is empty.

#    
#  Syntax

```java
public boolean isEmpty()
```
This method doesn't take any argument.

This method returns `true` if the map doesn't have any mappings. Otherwise, `false` will be returned.

##  
## Code

The following example shows how to use the `isEmpty` method.

import java.util.LinkedHashMap;
class LinkedHashMapisEmptyExample {
    public static void main( String args[] ) {
      LinkedHashMap<Integer, String> map = new LinkedHashMap<>();
      System.out.println("\nChecking if LinkedHashMap is empty : "+ map.isEmpty());
      map.put(1, "one");
      map.put(2, "two");
      System.out.println("\nAfter Adding some mappings to the map");
      System.out.println("\nChecking if LinkedHashMap is empty : "+ map.isEmpty());
    }
}

#   
## Explanation 

In the code above:

* In line 1, we imported the `LinkedHashMap` class.

* In line 4, we created a `LinkedHashMap` object with the name `map`.

* In line 5, we used the `isEmpty` method to check if the `map` is empty. `true` is returned as a result because the `map` object is empty.

* In lines 6 and 7, we used the `put` method to add two mappings (`{1=one, 2=two}`) to the `map` object.

* In line 9, we used the `isEmpty` method to check if the `map` is empty. `false` is returned as a result because the `map` object is not empty.

What is the LinkedHashMap.isEmpty method in Java?

LinkedHashMap's isEmpty method checks if the map is empty, returning true if it has no mappings.
