Difference between HashMap and repeated character in String


HashSet
Count total number of times each alphabet
1. Duplicates : HashSet does not
appears in the string java program code with
allow duplicate values , in other
example
words, adding a duplicate value
leaves the HashSet object
unchanged. Java 8 new features : Lambda expressions ,
optional class , Defender methods with
If the HashMap previously contain the examples
mapping for the key, the old value is
replaced. HashMap does not allow
duplicate keys. In other words,
HashMap duplicate values can exist
in HashMap.

2. Dummy value : There is no


concept of dummy value in HashMap
.

HashSet internally uses HashMap to


add elements. In HashSet , the
argument passed in add(Object)
method serves as key K . we need to
associate dummy value (automatically
created by jdk) for each value passed
in add(Object) method.

3. Implementation : HashMap
implements Map interface, while
HashSet implements Set interface.

4. Number of objects during


add(put) operation : HashMap
requires two objects put(K key , V
Value) to add an element to HashMap
object.
HashSet requires only one object
add(Object o) .

5. Adding or Storing mechanism


: HashMap internally uses hashing to
add or store objects. HashSet
internally uses HashMap object to
add or store the objects.

1. Performance : Performance of
add,put,remove operations are
almost same i.e constant time for
HashSet and HashMap. It is
incorrect to say HashMap is faster
than HashSet.

2. Insertion Order : Both HashMap


and HashSet does not guarantee that
the order will remain constant over
time.

3. Unsynchronized : Both HashMap


and HashSet implementation is
unsynchronized.

4. Iterator type : Iterator's returned


by both (HashMap and HashSet)
class's iterator and collection view
methods are fail-fast. find detailed
explanation here fail-safe vs fail-fast
in java.

When to use HashMap and


HashSet in Java ?

The only time we need to prefer


HashSet over HashMap when we are
asked to maintain uniqueness in our
collection object. Otherwise , always
prefer HashMap over HashSet as
HashSet is just a wrapper around
HashMap.
