Question Posted / amlesh kumar


What's the difference between a hashtable and a hashmap?..

Answer / Anup Kumar Pandey

HashTable and HashMap are essentially the same data structure, with HashMap being a generic version of HashTable that can store key-value pairs instead of just keys. Both use a hash function to map keys to indices in an array for faster access.
