I want the user to input a int (1-50) & the string prints, hope that makes sense. — Sal, Dec 23 '15 at 18:34

You can achieve what you want by reversing your Map. See the code below.

HashMap<Integer, String> FiftyStates = new HashMap <Integer, String>();
FiftyStates.put(1,"Delaware");
FiftyStates.put(2,"Pennsylvania");
...
...
...
...
FiftyStates.put(49,"Alaska");
FiftyStates.put(50,"Hawaii");
Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.Println(FiftyStates.get(scan.nextInt()));

Don't forget to close out the scanner.

1 null this is what I get in the console when I type in a int – Sal Dec 23 '15 at 19:33
@Sal Can you please update your code in the question. It works perfectly for me. – StackFlowed Dec 23 '15 at 19:54
Your problem is you do it before System.out.Println(FiftyStates.get(scan.nextInt())); you fill out the map... move this to the last line of program.. like i have it ... – StackFlowed Dec 26 '15 at 16:51
