![]() Therefore, it is highly recommended not to set the initial capacity too high (or load factor too low) if iteration performance is important. Iteration over LinkedHashMap requires time propertional to the capacity (the number of buckets) of the LinkedHashMap plus its size (the number of key/value pair mappings). When the number of entries in the hash table exceeds the product of the load factor and the current capacity, the hash table is rehashed, i.e., internal data structures are rebuilt, so that the hash table has approximately twice the number of buckets. The load factor is a measure of how full the hash table is allowed to get before its capacity is automatically increased. The capacity is the number of buckets in the hash table, and the initial capacity is simply the capacity at the time the hash table is created. Two parameters that affect the performance of the LinkedHashMap instance: capacity and load factor. Like HashMap, LinkedHashMap provides constant time performance i.e., O(1), for two basic operations get and put provided hash function disperses elements properly among the buckets. InitialCapacity – the initial capacity loadFactor – the load factor accessOrder – the ordering mode – true for access-order, false for insertion-order Performance ![]() public LinkedHashMap(int initialCapacity,Ĭonstructs an empty LinkedHashMap instance with the specified initial capacity, load factor and ordering mode. This linked list defines the iteration ordering, which is normally the order in which keys were inserted into the map (insertion-order) and this insertion order is not affected if a key is re-inserted into the map.Ī special constructor as shown below is provided to create a LinkedHashMap whose order of iteration is order in which its entries were last accessed, from least-recently to most recently (access-order). ![]() The LinkedHashMap implementation maintains a doubly-linked list running through all of its entries. All operations happen in LinkedHashMap(in HashMap also) are unsynchronized whereas, in HashTable all operations are synchronized. Unlike HashMap, it does make garuntee of the order of the elements stored in it. It also permits only one null key (whereas HashTable does not allow any null key) but may have more than one null values. ![]() Like HashMap, LinkedHashMap permits only unique keys. Unlike HashMap, LinkedHashMap is based on HashTable and Linked list implementation of the Map interface and stores items as key/value pairs. A LinkedHashMap like HashMap is a simple yet powerful way to store and get data. ![]()
