Internal Working and implementation of hashmap and hashset | Java Interview Questions | Code Decode

In this video of Java Interview Question and Answer series we have explained internal working of hashmap and hashset which is important question in Java interview questions and answers series

We need to cover 3 min points in High level for this question:
It works on the principle of hashing
How Put Method works Internal working
How Get method Works internally
Hash Map internally works on the principle of Hashing.
Hashing means using some function or algorithm to map object data to some integer value, hashCode() method return you that hash code. Hence Its necessary to write hashCode() method properly for better performance of HashMap.
If you override hashCode() method, it’s necessary to fulfill Equals and Hashcode Contract.
MAP is an object that maps keys to values”
So, there must be some mechanism in HashMap to store this key-value pair.
Everything in Hashmap is stored in a bucket internally (of hash table - underling DS)
Firstly hash value is calculated using the key’s hash code by calling its hashCode() method. This hash value is used to calculate the index in the array for storing Entry object. JDK designers well assumed that there might be some poorly written hashCode() functions that can return very high or low hash code value. To solve this issue, they introduced another hash() function and passed the object’s hash code to this hash() function to bring hash value in the range of array index size.
With Hash Code in place , we put the newly created Entry object K,V in the bucket of Hash Table.
So, in case of collision, Entry objects are stored in linked list form. When an Entry object needs to be stored in particular index, HashMap checks whether there is already an entry?? If there is no entry already present, the entry object is stored in this location.
If there is already an object sitting on calculated index, its next attribute is checked. If it is null, and current entry object becomes next node in linkedlist. If next variable is not null, procedure is followed until next is evaluated as null.
What if we add the another value object with same key as entered before. Logically, it should replace the old value. How it is done? Well, after determining the index position of Entry object, while iterating over linkedist on calculated index, HashMap calls equals method on key object for each entry object.
All these entry objects in linkedlist will have similar hashcode but equals() method will test for true equality. If key.equals(k) will be true then both keys are treated as same key object. This will cause the replacing of value object inside entry object only.
We know that two unequal objects can have the same hash code value. This is a case of collision.
Hash collisions have negative impact on the lookup time of HashMap. When multiple keys end up in the same bucket, then values along with their keys used to be placed in a linked list. In case of retrieval, linked list has to be traversed to get the entry. In worst case scenario, when all keys are mapped to the same bucket, the lookup time of HashMap increases from O(1) to O(n).
Java 8 has come with the following improvements/changes of HashMap objects in case of high collisions.
The alternative String hash function added in Java 7 has been removed.
Buckets containing a large number of colliding keys will store their entries in a balanced tree instead of a linked list after certain threshold is reached.

13:32 “while converting the list to binary hashcode is used as branching variable” - couldn’t get this part as hashcode is same then they are getting converted to linked list and then equals method is being used to add the values in the linked list. So the question is if it has reached a certain threshold and then how different values of hashcode can come to get converted into tree?

The content is really great, explaining everything in details which makes the internal working of HashMap and HashSet very clear. However, I have one question. Do we need this understanding for programming in real projects as generally we need to use HashMaps and HashSets to store and retrieve collection data and can also iterate using iterators, or is this just for interview purpose ?

[@shashwatidash8524]

I have a doubt if anyone could help. Since all entries within a bucket index have the same hash code (due to being placed in the same bucket), how can the hash code determine an Entry object's placement to left or right. Instead, the Comparable interface or custom comparator only will be used to maintain the ordering within the binary tree. Am I getting it right? Since not the whole bucket is changed to a Binary tree, only a particular bucket index is!

[@chinmayd4093]

@shashwatidash8524 as per my understanding, the first element(for particular bucket) which you will be adding , will be acting as root node of that tree.

14:29 how can we have different hash values if there is hash collision, it's bit confusing there 😮

[@jerinxavier5380]

How can we use hashcode to compare elements while adding to the binary tree. Unless the hashcode was the same we wouldn't push in the same bucket. Right.?

[@rasolutions8676]

Dose Linked List in the bucket (specific index calculated after hashing) is going to convert to tree or is it the complete bucket is getting converted into tree
a) if it is linked list at specific bucket index then how the hashcode less or greater then calculation will happen as per me at that point hashcode would be same for both element isn't it?
b) if the complete bucket is getting converted into tree then why we are saying linked list will get convert to tree...if i heard right!
🤔🤔🤔 Please help me understand the concept

[@vengateshm2122]

[@noorahameds8]

[@rajatgoyal2812]

At 14:12 you mentioned that in tree the main comparison will be on the basis of hashcode, But in a bucket when there are several entries and all of them have same hashCode then how are we comparing on the basis of hashCode.

[@chiragshah9171]

Yea.. same doubt. Linked list gets created when there is hash collision then how can be there different hash code values

[@Sanjaykumar-nz4tf]

Hi Mam,
I have a doubt in the put() method of hashmap..
If the hashCode of few keys are same means all those will be stored inside same bucket in linked list format (if threshold is increased by 8 means it converts to balanced tree)
* Right branch will be higher value of hashCode and left will be lower than that..
My Doubt is all the variables present in same bucket will have same hashCode.. Then how they will be compared while storing in balanced tree?

[@AshishKumar-vj7fq]

I also have the same doubt. How different hashcode can be present in same bucket because different objects will land on same bucket only when hashcode for them is same.

[@shivachanda2438]

Very good explanation, but I have a doubt: while explaining handling collisions in java8 nd above, u mentioned that if the hash code is same in a bucket, then we go with comparing keys , but collision is caused because of same code na, my doubt is all the entries in a bucket will having same hashcode ryt that is how they are placed in a bucket , keys may be different but hascode remains same based on hashcode only we are choosing the bucket na, please clear my doubt.

[@CodeWithCB]

All entries in a bucket may not have same hash value though they will have same index. Remember we first calculated hashcode which again converted to some hash value. This hash value is then mapped to some index. And this is the point where two different hash values may result in same index. So while doing get operation first hash values are equated and then keys are equated.

[@shivachanda2438]

@@CodeWithCB sry what do u mean by hash code and hash value both are same ryt , for a given key we will find hashcode , what is hash value. I didn't get u, please elaborate

[@CodeWithCB]

@@shivachanda2438 internal implementation of Hashmap frist calculates hashcode of key as per hashcode() given for key object. Then internally it converts this hashcode to hashvalue h using formula (h = key.hashCode()) ^ (h >>> 16) . This is done to spread keys across the array causing less collisions. And this hashvalue is used further to find actual index using formula index = (n - 1) & hash.

14:29 in second point how come is this possible that in one bucket will have keys with different hashcode as we assigned bucket on basis of hashcode itself. I guess binary search tree is based upon keys.
