K - the type of keys maintained by this mapV - the type of mapped valuespublic class HashMap<K,V> extends AbstractMap<K,V> implements Map<K,V>, Cloneable, Serializable
This implementation provides constant-time performance for the basic operations (get and put), assuming the hash function disperses the elements properly among the buckets. Iteration over collection views requires time proportional to the "capacity" of the HashMap instance (the number of buckets) plus its size (the number of key-value mappings). Thus, it's very important not to set the initial capacity too high (or the load factor too low) if iteration performance is important.
An instance of HashMap has two parameters that affect its performance: initial capacity and load factor. The capacity is the number of buckets in the hash table, and the initial capacity is simply the capacity at the time the hash table is created. The load factor is a measure of how full the hash table is allowed to get before its capacity is automatically increased. When the number of entries in the hash table exceeds the product of the load factor and the current capacity, the hash table is rehashed (that is, internal data structures are rebuilt) so that the hash table has approximately twice the number of buckets.
As a general rule, the default load factor (.75) offers a good tradeoff between time and space costs. Higher values decrease the space overhead but increase the lookup cost (reflected in most of the operations of the HashMap class, including get and put). The expected number of entries in the map and its load factor should be taken into account when setting its initial capacity, so as to minimize the number of rehash operations. If the initial capacity is greater than the maximum number of entries divided by the load factor, no rehash operations will ever occur.
If many mappings are to be stored in a HashMap
instance, creating it with a sufficiently large capacity will allow
the mappings to be stored more efficiently than letting it perform
automatic rehashing as needed to grow the table. Note that using
many keys with the same hashCode() is a sure way to slow
down performance of any hash table. To ameliorate impact, when keys
are Comparable, this class may use comparison order among
keys to help break ties.
Note that this implementation is not synchronized.
If multiple threads access a hash map concurrently, and at least one of
the threads modifies the map structurally, it must be
synchronized externally. (A structural modification is any operation
that adds or deletes one or more mappings; merely changing the value
associated with a key that an instance already contains is not a
structural modification.) This is typically accomplished by
synchronizing on some object that naturally encapsulates the map.
If no such object exists, the map should be "wrapped" using the
Collections.synchronizedMap
method. This is best done at creation time, to prevent accidental
unsynchronized access to the map:
Map m = Collections.synchronizedMap(new HashMap(...));
The iterators returned by all of this class's "collection view methods"
are fail-fast: if the map is structurally modified at any time after
the iterator is created, in any way except through the iterator's own
remove method, the iterator will throw a
ConcurrentModificationException. Thus, in the face of concurrent
modification, the iterator fails quickly and cleanly, rather than risking
arbitrary, non-deterministic behavior at an undetermined time in the
future.
Note that the fail-fast behavior of an iterator cannot be guaranteed as it is, generally speaking, impossible to make any hard guarantees in the presence of unsynchronized concurrent modification. Fail-fast iterators throw ConcurrentModificationException on a best-effort basis. Therefore, it would be wrong to write a program that depended on this exception for its correctness: the fail-fast behavior of iterators should be used only to detect bugs.
This class is a member of the Java Collections Framework.

null if this map contains no mapping for the key.
More formally, if this map contains a mapping from a key
k to a value v such that (key==null ? k==null :
key.equals(k)), then this method returns v; otherwise
it returns null. (There can be at most one such mapping.)
A return value of null does not necessarily
indicate that the map contains no mapping for the key; it's also
possible that the map explicitly maps the key to null.
The containsKey operation may be used to
distinguish these two cases.

Set view of the keys contained in this map.
The set is backed by the map, so changes to the map are
reflected in the set, and vice-versa. If the map is modified
while an iteration over the set is in progress (except through
the iterator's own remove operation), the results of
the iteration are undefined. The set supports element removal,
which removes the corresponding mapping from the map, via the
Iterator.remove, Set.remove,
removeAll, retainAll, and clear
operations. It does not support the add or addAll
operations.public Collection<V> values()
Collection view of the values contained in this map.
The collection is backed by the map, so changes to the map are
reflected in the collection, and vice-versa. If the map is
modified while an iteration over the collection is in progress
(except through the iterator's own remove operation),
the results of the iteration are undefined. The collection
supports element removal, which removes the corresponding
mapping from the map, via the Iterator.remove,

Set view of the mappings contained in this map.
The set is backed by the map, so changes to the map are
reflected in the set, and vice-versa. If the map is modified
while an iteration over the set is in progress (except through
the iterator's own remove operation, or through the
setValue operation on a map entry returned by the
iterator) the results of the iteration are undefined. The set
supports element removal, which removes the corresponding

if the implementation supports null values.)public boolean remove(Object key, Object value)

Mappublic V replace(K key, V value)

(A null return can also indicate that the map
previously associated null with the key,
if the implementation supports null values.)public V computeIfAbsent(K key, Function<? super K,? extends V> mappingFunction)
Mapnull), attempts to compute its value using the given mapping
function and enters it into this map unless null.
If the function returns null no mapping is recorded. If
the function itself throws an (unchecked) exception, the
exception is rethrown, and no mapping is recorded. The most
common usage is to construct a new object serving as an initial
mapped value or memoized result, as in:
map.computeIfAbsent(key, k -> new Value(f(k)));
Or to implement a multi-value map, Map<K,Collection<V>>,
supporting multiple values per key:
map.computeIfAbsent(key, k -> new HashSet<V>()).add(v);

MapIf the function returns null, the mapping is removed. If the
function itself throws an (unchecked) exception, the exception is
rethrown, and the current mapping is left unchanged.

Mapnull if there is no current mapping). For
example, to either create or append a String msg to a value
mapping:
map.compute(key, (k, v) -> (v == null) ? msg : v.concat(msg))
(Method merge() is often simpler to use for such purposes.)
If the function returns null, the mapping is removed (or
remains absent if initially absent). If the function itself throws an
(unchecked) exception, the exception is rethrown, and the current mapping
is left unchanged.
public V merge(K key, V value, BiFunction<? super V,? super V,? extends V> remappingFunction)
Mapnull. This
method may be of use when combining multiple mapped values for a key.
For example, to either create or append a String msg to a
value mapping:
map.merge(key, msg, String::concat)
If the function returns null the mapping is removed. If the
function itself throws an (unchecked) exception, the exception is
rethrown, and the current mapping is left unchanged.
