First of all, Hashmap,hashmap is a class, and all classes in Java inherit from an object class. The Hashcode () method is defined in the object class, in other words, any class will have this hashcode () method.
So the Key.hashcode () function calls the hash function with the key key value type and returns the int hash value.
First look at the two methods defined in HashMap
method One:Static Final intHash (Object key) {//jdk1.8 & jdk1.7 inth; //h = Key.hashcode () is the first step to take the Hashcode value//h ^ (H >>> 16) for the second step high-level participation operation return(Key = =NULL) ? 0: (H = key.hashcode ()) ^ (H >>> 16);} Method Two:Static intIndexfor (intHintLength) {//jdk1.7 Source Code, jdk1.8 No this method, but the implementation of the same principle returnH & (LENGTH-1);//The third step takes the modulo operation}
For example, we define the map Map=new HashMap (), and when we use Map.put ("name", "Xiaoming") to add a key-value pair, we call method one's hash (Object key) method, which returns "name" The value of the Hashcode value with "name". Hashcode () shifts the values after the bitwise XOR operation to the right of 16 bits, and this value is also quite a layer of encryption on the basis of the common Hashcode () method. (In fact, the string-type Hashcode () method has been reproduced in the string class, but is not implemented in the object class and is implemented in the underlying C language)
The Indexfor () method specifies the position of the HashMap object in the array. In addition, when we put elements in the HashMap, it is worthwhile to place the element in the array (i.e. subscript) according to the hash of the key, and then we can put the element in the corresponding position. If there are other elements in the seat of this element, then the elements in the same seat will be stored in the form of a list, and the newly added ones are placed in the chain head, and the first ones are placed at the end of the chain. As shown
The roles of HashMap and Hashtable are roughly the same, with different points as shown below
The methods in 1.Hashtable are synchronous, and the methods in HashMap are not synchronized by default. In the context of multi-threaded concurrency, you can use Hashtable directly, but to use hashmap, you need to increase the synchronization process.
In 2.Hashtable, both key and value do not allow null values. In HashMap, NULL can be used as a key with only one key, and one or more keys can have a value of NULL. When the Get () method returns a null value, it can indicate that the key is not in the HashMap, or that the value corresponding to the key is null. Therefore, the get () method cannot be used in HashMap to determine whether a key exists in HashMap and should be judged by the ContainsKey () method.
3. The internal implementation of the two traversal modes is different.
Hashtable and HashMap all use the Iterator. For historical reasons, Hashtable also used the enumeration approach.
4. Using different hash values, Hashtable directly uses the object's hashcode. The hash value is recalculated by the HashMap.
5.Hashtable and hashmap their two internal implementations of the array in the initial size and the way of expansion. The default size of the hash array in Hashtable is 11, and the increment is old*2+1. The default size of the hash array in HashMap is 16, and must be a 2 index.
