Java HashMap vs HashSet: Key-Value Pairs vs Unique Elements

💡 HashMap vs HashSet in Java Both are part of the Java Collection Framework but serve different purposes. 🔹 HashMap Stores data in key–value pairs. Each key must be unique. Example: {1 → "Java", 2 → "Spring"} 🔹 HashSet Stores only unique elements. No duplicate values allowed. Example: ["Java", "Spring", "SQL"] 📌 Simple way to remember: HashMap → Key + Value HashSet → Only Values #Java #JavaCollections #Programming #BackendDeveloper
