Java HashMap
HashMap is a class in Java that implements the Map interface. It stores key-value pairs and allows efficient retrieval of values based on their corresponding keys. In other words, it maps unique keys to associated values.
HashMap uses hashing techniques to store and retrieve elements. When an element is added to the HashMap, a hash code is generated for its key. This hash code is used to find the index of the bucket in which the element will be stored. If two keys have the same hash code, they will be stored in the same bucket, and the HashMap will use an internal linked list to store them.
HashMap is widely used in Java programming due to its efficiency in retrieving elements. It has a constant time complexity of O(1) for put and get operations, making it ideal for large datasets. However, it does not guarantee the order of the elements and is not thread-safe by default. To ensure thread-safety, ConcurrentHashMap can be used instead.
