Hashmap Vs Hashtable

 HashMap and Hashtable store key and value pairs in a hash table. When using a Hashtable or HashMap, we specify an object that is used as a key and the value that you want to be linked to that key. The key is then hashed, and the resulting hash code is used as the index at which the value is stored within the table. Now let us discuss with the help of an example.

Hashmap vs Hashtable 

HashMap is non-synchronized. It is not thread-safe and can’t be shared between many threads without proper synchronization code whereas Hashtable is synchronized. It is thread-safe and can be shared with many threads.

HashMap allows one null key and multiple null values whereas Hashtable doesn’t allow any null key or value.

HashMap is generally preferred over HashTable if thread synchronization is not needed.

Junit Mockito and Power Mockito

Mock vs Spy Both can be used to mock methods or fields. The difference is that  in mock, you are creating a complete mock or fake object while in spy, there is the real object and you just spying or stubbing specific methods of it . Mock vs InjectMock @Mock  creates a mock.  @InjectMocks  creates an instance of the class and injects the mocks that are created with the  @Mock  (or  @Spy ) annotations into this instance. Unit Testing Void Methods with Mockito and JUnit How to Test Void Methods  As we already know that our aim is to test void methods in a class. But it is also really important to understand why we test void methods.  Whenever we write unit test cases for any method, we expect a return value from the method. Generally, we use assert for checking if the method returns the value that we expect it to return, but in the case of void methods, they do not return any value. So how do we check if our method is functioning properly? Let’s...

Find Loop in a Linked List

Image
 Problem Statement In this problem, we are given a linked list with a loop. We have to find the first node of the loop in the linked list. Problem Statement Understanding Let’s try to understand the problem statement with the help of examples. Suppose the given list is: According to the problem statement, we need to find the starting node of the loop. From the linked list, we can see that there is a loop in the linked list starting at node with value 3 and containing 3 nodes 3, 5, and 7. The last node of the loop points back to the first node of the loop. As node with value 3 is the first node of the loop, so we will return 3 as output. Approach and Algorithm (Floyd’s Cycle Detection) Our approach will be simple: 1) Firstly, we have to detect the loop in the given linked list. For detecting a loop in any linked list, we know the most efficient algorithm is the  Floyd Cycle detection Algorithm . 2) In Floyd's cycle detection algorithm, we initialize 2 pointers,  slow ...
