Q2. Can you explain the internal workings of HashMap in Java?
Ans. 
HashMap in Java is a data structure that stores key-value pairs and uses hashing to efficiently retrieve values.
• HashMap uses an array of linked lists to store key-value pairs.

• When a key-value pair is added, the key is hashed to determine the index in the array where it will be stored.

• If multiple keys hash to the same index (collision), a linked list is used to store all the key-value pairs at that index.

• HashMap allows ...read more

Q3. How is the index calculated using hashCode() in a HashMap?
Ans. 
The index in a HashMap is calculated by applying a hash function to the key's hashCode value.
• The hashCode() method is called on the key object to get its hash code value.

• The hash code value is then passed through a hash function to generate the index in the HashMap.

• The index is usually calculated by performing bitwise operations on the hash code value.

• For example, in Java, the index is calculated as (hash & (capaci
