The goal is to distribute keys uniformly across the array to avoid collisions and ensure efficient data access.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_a_collision_in_hashing_and_how_is_it_handled\"><\/span><strong>What is a collision in hashing, and how is it handled?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A collision occurs when two different keys hash to the same index in the array. Collisions are typically handled using techniques like chaining (storing multiple values in a list at the same index) or open addressing (probing for the next available slot in the array).<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/chat.whatsapp.com\/B6weknl7133BQXjPva0pgB\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"875\" height=\"142\" src=\"https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-149.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-52316\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-149.png 875w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-149-300x49.png 300w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-149-768x125.png 768w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-149-150x24.png 150w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-149-696x113.png 696w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 875px) 100vw, 875px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_the_difference_between_a_HashMap_and_a_Hashtable_in_Java\"><\/span><strong>What is the difference between a HashMap and a Hashtable in Java?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In Java, a HashMap is non-synchronized and allows one null key and multiple null values.
