map hierarchy in java code example

Example 1: map in java

MAP : is a (key-value format) 
      and keys are always unique, 
      and value can be duplicated. 
- HashTable don't have null key, sychronized(thread-safe)
- LinkedHashMap can have null key, keeps order
- HasHMap can have null key, order is not guaranteed
- TreeMap doesn't have null key and keys are sorted

Example 2: java map declaration

Map< String,Integer> hm =  
                        new HashMap< String,Integer>(); 
       hm.put("a", new Integer(100)); 
       hm.put("b", new Integer(200)); 
       hm.put("c", new Integer(300)); 
       hm.put("d", new Integer(400));
