Core Java - Interview Questions and Answers for 'Hashset' - 8 question(s) found - Order By Newest

 Q1. Difference beween HashSet and TreeSet ?Core Java
Ans. 1. HashSet doesnt maintain its elements in any specific order and is all random whereas TreeSet maintains elements in natural order 9 order defined by the equals method of TreeSet element type )

2. TreeSet doesnt allow null elements whereas HashMap does.

3. As TreeSet orders elements and is hence insertion is comparatively slower.

4. HashSet performs basic operations like add(), remove(), contains(), size() etc. in a constant size time. A TreeSet performs these operations at the order of log(n) time.

5. HashMap in Java internally backs a HashSet. A NavigableMap backs a TreeSet internally.

 Q4. What will be the output of this code ?

Set mySet = new HashSet();
mySet.add("4567");
mySet.add("5678");
mySet.add("6789");
System.out.println(s.get(0));
Ans. This will give compile time error as we cannot retrieve the element from a specified index using Set. Set doesn't maintain elements in any order.

 Q6. What will be the output of the following code ?

enum Day {
   MONDAY,TUESDAY,WEDNESDAY,THURSDAY,FRIDAY,SATURDAY,SUNDAY
}

public class BuggyBread1{
   public static void main (String args[]) {
      Set mySet = new HashSet();
      mySet.add(Day.SATURDAY);
      mySet.add(Day.WEDNESDAY);
      mySet.add(Day.FRIDAY);
      mySet.add(Day.WEDNESDAY);
      for(Day d: mySet){
         System.out.println(d);
      }
   }
}
Ans. FRIDAY , SATURDAY and WEDNESDAY will be printed but the order cannot be determined.

Only one FRIDAY will be printed as Set doesn't allow duplicates. Order cannot be determined as HashSet doesn't maintain elements in a particular order.
