You've made **solid progress** toward becoming a **Java developer** by completing this section.

**Maps** provide an efficient way to store and retrieve data using **key-value pairs**. Using `HashMap`, you also implemented an **online store**, which is good practice for applying this concept.

Keep going at this pace, and you'll continue building strong **backend development skills**.

What is the average time complexity for basic operations (insertion, deletion, and retrieval) in a `HashMap`?

Which of the following interfaces does `HashMap` implement in Java?

Scopri le strutture dati essenziali in Java e migliora le tue competenze di programmazione. Esplora il mondo dinamico di ArrayList, LinkedList, Stack, Queue e altro ancora, approfondendo la loro potenza, versatilità e applicazioni reali.

Discover the concept of lists and explore the most commonly used types in Java. Learn how to create, modify, and manage lists efficiently. Understand their internal structure and discover when to use ArrayList vs. LinkedList based on performance. Implement your own singly linked list and reinforce key concepts through practical coding challenges.

Learn about data structures that are not as commonly used but are still valuable. Data structures like Set, Stack, Queue, and Deque will help you better understand how Java works and their various applications in databases.


Learn about key-value pair-based data retrieval, enabling the creation of structures similar to databases. Discovery of concepts like hashcode and exploration of data structures such as HashMap and HashSet are also included.

Learn to use enum for defining a fixed set of constants and explore the Stream API to process, filter, and transform data efficiently.
