Multiplying Values of Two HashMaps

If I have two HashMaps, hm1 and hm2, how can I iterate through the two and multiply the two values together at each point in the two HashMaps and sum the total? They are both ordered identically, so I don’t need to worry about the keys, just the values.

The data is in the form

hm1 = 
(A, 3)
(B, 4)
(C, 7)

hm2 =
(A, 4)
(B, 6)
(C, 3)

then I want to do something like this but obviously this code is incorrect because I’m only iterating through hm1.

double sum = 0.00;
for (Map.Entry<String, Double> hm : hm1.entrySet()) {
    sum += hm1.getValue() * hm2.getValue();
}

So I would basically loop through and do:

1st iteration: Sum = 0 + 3*4
2nd Iteration: Sum = 12 + 4*6
3rd iteration: Sum = 36 + 7*3
Exit Loop:
Sum = 57

Thanks for any help you can give me.

Answer

You can use the key from your iteration over the first map to get the value for the second one:

double sum = 0.00;
for (Map.Entry<String, Double> hm : hm1.entrySet()) {
   double hm2Value = hm2.get(hm.getKey());
   sum += hm.getValue() * hm2Value;
}

Note that this only works if both maps have the same keys. If keys are missing in either, then you have to think about how to deal with that.
