for (Map.Entry<String, Integer> e : map.entrySet())

            System.out.println("Key: " + e.getKey()

                              + " Value: " + e.getValue());

    }

13. Difference between Hashmap and Hashtable?


Hashtable:

Hashtable is synchronized. It is thread-safe

Hashtable doesn't allow any null key or value.

Hashtable is inherited from Dictionary class.



Hashmap:

HashMap is non synchronized.It's not-thread safe.

HashMap allows one null key and multiple null values.

HashMap is inherited from AbstractMap class.


Bonus:

14. How hashmap works?


HashMap in Java works on hashing principles. Hashing is a process in which hash functions are used to link keys and values in HashMap.

15. Can we store a null key in Java HashMap?

Yes, HashMap allows one null key, which is stored at the first location of the bucket array e.g., bucket[0] = value. HashMap doesn't call HashCode() on the null key because it will throw NullPointerException, hence when a user calls the get() method with null, then the value of the first index is returned.

16. Can you store the duplicate value in Java HashMap? 

Yes, you can put duplicate values in HashMap of Java. It allows duplicate values; that's why when you retrieve all values from the Hashmap by calling the values() method, it returns a Collection and not a Set.
