HashSet在内部使用HashMap来存储它的条目。内部HashMap中的每个条目都由一个Object进行键控，因此所有条目都散列到同一个bucket中。我不记得内部HashMap使用什么来存储它的值，但这并不重要，因为内部容器永远不会包含重复的值。

编辑:针对马修的评论，他是对的;我想反了。内部HashMap由组成Set元素的对象作为键。HashMap的值是一个简单地存储在HashMap桶中的对象。

HashSet是根据HashMap实现的。它是键和PRESENT对象之间的映射。

HashSet允许我们在集合中存储对象，而HashMap允许我们在键和值的基础上存储对象。每个对象或存储对象都有键。

HashSet

HashSet class implements the Set interface In HashSet, we store objects(elements or values) e.g. If we have a HashSet of string elements then it could depict a set of HashSet elements: {“Hello”, “Hi”, “Bye”, “Run”} HashSet does not allow duplicate elements that mean you can not store duplicate values in HashSet. HashSet permits to have a single null value. HashSet is not synchronized which means they are not suitable for thread-safe operations until unless synchronized explicitly.[similarity] add contains next notes HashSet O(1) O(1) O(h/n) h is the table

HashMap

HashMap class implements the Map interface HashMap is used for storing key & value pairs. In short, it maintains the mapping of key & value (The HashMap class is roughly equivalent to Hashtable, except that it is unsynchronized and permits nulls.) This is how you could represent HashMap elements if it has integer key and value of String type: e.g. {1->”Hello”, 2->”Hi”, 3->”Bye”, 4->”Run”} HashMap does not allow duplicate keys however it allows having duplicate values. HashMap permits single null key and any number of null values. HashMap is not synchronized which means they are not suitable for thread-safe operations until unless synchronized explicitly.[similarity] get containsKey next Notes HashMap O(1) O(1) O(h/n) h is the table

编辑-这个答案不正确。我把它放在这里，以防其他人有类似的想法。B.roth和justkt的答案正确。

您基本上回答了自己的问题——hashset不允许重复值。使用支持哈希映射构建哈希集是很简单的(只是检查一下该值是否已经存在)。我想各种Java实现要么做到这一点，要么实现一些自定义代码来更有效地做到这一点。

顾名思义，HashMap是一个关联Map(从键映射到值)，HashSet只是一个Set。
