public class HashMap
extends ReadableHashMap

HashMap is a system class that maps keys to values. Unlike the superclass, ReadableHashMap, instances of HashMap are mutable. Objects used as keys must have a hashCode method that returns an integer in the range from -(2^29) to (2^29) - 1. HashMap also uses the equals: method which in its default implementation calls the = operator method. The implementations must match (ie if two objects are equal then they must have the same hash code. An object may not change hash code or equality status while it is being used as a key.
