# Refresher: HashMap & HashSet # HashSet HashSet is a collection of unique elements. ## Example 1 We have a bag, which has some numbers inside it. ![](https://d2beiqkhq929f0.cloudfront.net/public_assets/assets/000/054/541/original/upload_2ef858012b3b58d9c1da8518a1cdb8ff.png?1697783784) This bag has unique elements, which means every number appears once only. If we want to add 9 in a bag, then it will be not inserted as the bag already has 9. Some other examples which contain unique elements are: - Email-id - username - Fingerprints ## Example 2 Let us assume we have an array `arr = [1, 3, -2, 7, 1, 1, -2]` Now if we want to create a HashSet of it then it contains unique elements. `HS = [1, 7, -2, 3]` Here we can see that **hashset does not have any sequence of elements.** ## Syntax ```java HashSet<Type> hs = new HashSet<Type>(); ``` Here Type can be any class ## Basic Operations We can perform the following operations on HashSet. - **Add:** Used to add element in HashSet. - **Contains** Used to check whether HashSet contains a certain element or not. - Size - Remove - **Print:** We use each loop for printing the elements of HashSet --- ### Question For the given HashSet hs, what will be the size after the following operations? ``` HashSet<Integer> hs = new HashSet<Integer>(); hs.add(3); hs.add(-2); hs.add(10); hs.add(3); hs.add(10); hs.add(0); ``` **Choices** - [ ] 2 - [ ] 3 - [ ] 5 - [x] 4 **Explanation** ```plaintext The unique elements added to the HashSet are: 3, -2, 10, 0. So, the size of the HashSet is 4. ``` **Example** ```java import java.util.*; import java.lang.*; class Main{ public static void main(String args[]){ HashSet<Integer> hs = new HashSet<Integer>(); //printing HashSet System.out.println(hs); // add hs.add(3); hs.add(-2); hs.add(10); hs.add(3); hs.add(10); hs.add(0); System.out.println(hs); // Contains System.out.println(hs.contains(3)); System.out.println(hs.contains(-1)); // Size System.out.println("Size is: " + hs.size()); // Remove hs.remove(3); System.out.println(hs); // print for(Integer i : hs){ // for each loop System.out.println(i); } } } ``` **Output:** ```plaintext [] [0, -2, 3, 10] true false Size is: 4 [0, -2, 10] ``` --- ## ArrayList HashSet ## ArrayList - Sequential order. - Duplicates allowed ## HashSet - Sequence not maintained - Unique element present only. --- ## Problem Statement Given an integer array as input, add its elements to a HashSet and return the HashSet. ## PseudoCode ```java import java.util.*; import java.lang.*; class Main{ public static HashSet<Integer> convertToHashset(int[] arr){ HashSet<Integer> ans = new HashSet<Integer>(); for(int i = 0; i < arr.length; i++){ ans.add(arr[i]); } return ans; } public static void main(String args[]){ int arr[] = {1, 4, 3, -2, 1, 1, 4, 5, 3}; System.out.println(convertToHashset(arr)); } } ``` **Output:** ```plaintext [1, -2, 3, 4, 5] ``` --- ## Problem Statement Given 2 HashSet as input, print their common elements. ## Example **Input:** HS1: {0, -2, 4, 10} HS2: {1, -2, 3, 4, 5} **Output:** -2 3 ## Understanding the problem We have to print the elements that are present in both the HashSet. ## PseudoCode ```java import java.util.*; import java.lang.*; class Main{ public static void intersect(HashSet<Integer> hs1, HashSet<Integer> hs2){ for(Integer i : hs1){ if(hs2.contains(i)){ System.out.print(i + " "); } } } public static HashSet<Integer> convertToHashset(int[] arr){ HashSet<Integer> ans = new HashSet<Integer>(); for(int i = 0; i < arr.length; i++){ ans.add(arr[i]); } return ans; } public static void main(String args[]){ int arr[] = {1, 4, 3, -2, 1, 1, 4, 5, 3}; HashSet<Integer> hs1 = convertToHashset(arr); System.out.println(hs1); int arr2[] = {0, -2, 3, 10}; HashSet<Integer> hs2 = convertToHashset(arr2); System.out.println(hs2); intersect(hs1, hs2); } } ``` **Output:** ```plaintext [1, -2, 3, 4, 5] [0, -2, 3, 10] -2 3 ```` --- ### Question What operation is used to remove an element from a HashSet? **Choices** - [ ] Add - [ ] Size - [x] Remove - [ ] Contain **Explanation** ```plaintext The `Remove` operation is used to remove an element from a HashSet. ``` --- ## HashMap HashMap is a data structure which contains key-value pairs. ## Example Let us suppose we have states and its population. | States | Population | |:-------:|:----------:| | Punjab | 15 | | Haryana | 18 | | UP | 20 | | Delhi | 18 | Now if we have the above data, and our question is to tell the population of UP, then we can simply tell the value next to UP(20). Here we can say UP->20 is a pair, where UP is a key, corresponding to which some values are stored, and by this key, we access the data. Here states are key and population are values. | States(key) | Population(value) | |:-----------:|:-----------------:| | Punjab | 15 | | Haryana | 18 | | UP | 20 | | Delhi | 18 | Some other examples are: - User id -> password - Word -> Meaning (dictionary) ## Features of HashMap - Duplicate values are allowed ![](https://d2beiqkhq929f0.cloudfront.net/public_assets/assets/000/054/542/original/upload_8d142119409f4145b2271918798093b2.png?1697784005) - Duplicate keys are not allowed. ![](https://d2beiqkhq929f0.cloudfront.net/public_assets/assets/000/054/543/original/upload_db02073a1c4a022ec47d46ad9953369e.png?1697784028) - No order of data, key-value pairs are in random order. ## Syntax ```java HashMap<keyType, valueType> hm = new HashMap<keyType, valueType>(); ``` ## Basic Operations We can perform the following operations on HashMap. - Add - Contains - Get - Update - Size - Remove - Print ### Example ```java import java.util.*; import java.lang.*; class Main{ public static void main(String args[]){ HashMap<String, Integer> hm = new HashMap<String, Integer>(); // add hm.put("Delhi", 18); hm.put("Punjab", 20); hm.put("Haryana", 18); hm.put("Goa", 5); System.out.println(hm); // Contains System.out.println(hm.containsKey("Gujarat")); System.out.println(hm.containsKey("Goa")); // Get System.out.println(hm.get("Gujarat")); System.out.println(hm.get("Goa")); // Update hm.put("Goa", 6); System.out.println(hm); // Size System.out.println("Size is: " + hm.size()); // Remove hm.remove("Goa"); System.out.println(hm); // print // 1. get all keys // hm.keySet()-> returns a set of keys of HashMap // 2. Use keys to iterate over the map for(String state : hm.keySet()){ System.out.println(state + " -> " + hm.get(state)); } } } ``` **Output:** ```plaintext {Delhi = 18, Haryana = 18, Goa = 5, Punjab = 20} false true null 5 {Delhi = 18, Haryana = 18, Goa = 6, Punjab = 20} Size is: 4 {Delhi = 18, Haryana = 18, Punjab = 20} Delhi -> 18 Haryana -> 18 Punjab -> 20 ``` --- ### Question In a HashMap, what is the purpose of the get operation? **Choices** - [ ] Add a key-value pair - [x] Retrieve the value associated with a key - [ ] Check if a key is present - [ ] Remove a key-value pair **Explanation** ```plaintext The `get` operation in HashMap is used to retrieve the value associated with a given key. ``` --- ## Problem Statement Given an integer array as input, return the corresponding frequency map. ## Example **Input:** arr = [1, 4, 3, -2, 1, 1, 4, 5, 3] **Output:** ```plaintext hm = { 1: 3, 4: 2, 3: 2, -2: 1, 5: 1 } ``` ## Solution In this, we iterate over every element of an array, for every element we have two possibilities. 1. Current element is not in the hashmap(`hm.containsKey(arr[i]) == false`). then add the current element into HashMap with frequency 1. 2. The current element is already present in the HashMap as a key and has some value. then simply increase the previously stored frequency of the current element by 1. ## PseudoCode ```java import java.util.*; import java.lang.*; class Main{ public static HashMap<Integer, Integer> freqMap(int arr[]){ HashMap<Integer, Integer> hm = new HashMap<Integer, Integer>(); for(int i = 0; i < arr.length; i++){ // case 1 - arr[i] not present in hashmap if(hm.containsKey(arr[i]) == false){ hm.put(arr[i],1); } // case - arr[i] already present in hashmap // before current element, hm -> {2: 3} // current -> 2 // hm -> {2: 3} else{ int beforeValue = hm.get(arr[i]); int newValue = beforeValue + 1; hm.put(arr[i], newValue); } } return hm; } public static void main(String args[]){ int arr[] = {1, 4, 3, -2, 1, 1, 4, 5, 3}; System.out.println(freqMap(arr)); } } ``` **Output:** ```plaintext {1 = 3, -2 = 1, 3 = 2, 4 = 2, 5 = 1} ```` ## DryRun **Input:** arr[] = {1, 4, 3, -2, 1, 1, 4, 5, 3} **Solution:** 1. Initially our hashmap is empty, `hm = {}`, 2. Now we start iterating array elements, first element is 1, it is not in HashMap so if the condition becomes true, then we will simply put this element in the map with frequency 1. `hm = {1: 1}`. 3. Next element is 4, it is also not in HashMap so if the condition becomes true, then we will simply put this element in the map with frequency 1. `hm = {1: 1, 4: 1}`. 4. Next element is 3, it is also not in HashMap so if the condition becomes true, then we will simply put this element in the map with frequency 1. `hm = {1: 1, 4: 1, 3: 1}`. 5. Next element is -2, it is also not in HashMap so if the condition becomes true, then we will simply put this element in the map with frequency 1. `hm = {1: 1, 4: 1, 3: 1, -2: 1}`. 6. The next element is 1, it is available in HashMap, so if the condition becomes false, we will go to the else part. ```java beforeValue = hm.get(1) = 1 newValue = beforeValue + 1 = 1 + 1 = 2 hm.put(1, 2) ``` then hashmap becomes, `hm = {1: 2, 4: 1, 3: 1, -2: 1}`. 7. The next element is again 1, it is available in HashMap, so if the condition becomes false, we will go to the else part. ```java beforeValue = hm.get(1) = 2 newValue = beforeValue + 1 = 2 + 1 = 3 hm.put(1, 3) ``` then hashmap becomes, `hm = {1: 3, 4: 1, 3: 1, -2: 1}`. 8. The next element is 4, it is available in HashMap, so if the condition becomes false, we will go to the else part. ```java beforeValue = hm.get(4) = 1 newValue = beforeValue + 1 = 1 + 1 = 2 hm.put(4, 2) ``` then hashmap becomes, `hm = {1: 3, 4: 2, 3: 1, -2: 1}`. 9. Next element is 5, it is also not in HashMap so if the condition becomes true, then we will simply put this element in the map with frequency 1. `hm = {1: 3, 4: 2, 3: 1, -2: 1, 5: 1}`. 10. The next element is 3, it is available in HashMap, so if the condition becomes false, we will go to the else part. ```java beforeValue = hm.get(3) = 1 newValue = beforeValue + 1 = 1 + 1 = 2 hm.put(3, 2) ``` then hashmap becomes, `hm = {1: 3, 4: 2, 3: 2, -2: 1, 5: 1}`.
