Answer / alka

It is not in the programmers hand to decide location of any
key/value pair in hashmap.These pairs are randomly placed in
Hashmap based on some calculated hash codes.

package manu;

import java.util.HashMap;



public class Manu_HashMapTest
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
HashMap<String,Integer> m=new HashMap<String,Integer>();
m.put("a",100);
m.put("b",200);
m.put("c", 300);
m.put("b", 800);//insert a new element....
System.out.println(m);
}
}

o/p->{a=100, c=300, b=800}
so Hash map does not give guarantee in order,so its not
possible to insert element in right position.
