Differences between HashMap and Hashtable in Java
Hashtable was part of the original java.util and is a concrete implementation of a Dictionary. However, Java 2 re-engineered Hashtable so that it also implements the Map interface. Thus, Hashtable is now integrated into the collections framework. It is similar to HashMap, but is synchronized.
Like HashMap, Hashtable stores key/value pairs in a hash table. When using a Hashtable, you specify an object that is used as a key, and the value that you want to be linked to that key. The key is then hashed, and the resulting hash code is used as the index at which the value is stored within the table.
The HashMap class is the Hash table based implementation of the Map interface.
- This class makes no guarantees as to the iteration order of the map; in particular, it does not guarantee that the order will remain constant over time.
- This class permits null values and the null key.
Example
import java.util.Collection;
import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.Iterator;
import java.util.Map;
import java.util.Set;
public class HashMap_HashTable {
public static void main(String args[]) {
// Create a hash map
HashMap hm = new HashMap();
// Put elements to the map
hm.put("Zara", new Double(3434.34));
hm.put("Mahnaz", new Double(123.22));
hm.put("Ayan", new Double(1378.00));
hm.put("Daisy", new Double(99.22));
hm.put("Qadir", new Double(-19.08));
// Get a set of the entries
Set set = hm.entrySet();
// Get an iterator
Iterator i = set.iterator();
// Display elements
while(i.hasNext()) {
Map.Entry me = (Map.Entry)i.next();
System.out.print(me.getKey() + ": ");
System.out.println(me.getValue());
}
System.out.println();
// Deposit 1000 into Zara's account
double balance = ((Double)hm.get("Zara")).doubleValue();
hm.put("Zara", new Double(balance + 1000));
System.out.println("Zara's new balance: " + hm.get("Zara"));
HashMap< String, String> hMap = new HashMap< String, String>();
hMap.put("1", "1st");
hMap.put("2", "2nd");
hMap.put("3", "3rd");
Collection cl = hMap.values();
Iterator itr = cl.iterator();
while (itr.hasNext()) {
System.out.println(itr.next());
}
}
}Output
Daisy: 99.22 Ayan: 1378.0 Zara: 3434.34 Qadir: -19.08 Mahnaz: 123.22 Zara's new balance: 4434.34 1st 2nd 3rd
