Answer by Animesh Jaiswal for Difference between HashMap, LinkedHashMap and TreeMap

The most important among all the three is how they save the order of the entries.

HashMap - Does not save the order of the entries. eg.

public static void main(String[] args){
        HashMap<String,Integer> hashMap = new HashMap<>();
        hashMap.put("First",1);// First ---> 1 is put first in the map
        hashMap.put("Second",2);//Second ---> 2 is put second in the map
        hashMap.put("Third",3); // Third--->3 is put third in the map
        for(Map.Entry<String,Integer> entry : hashMap.entrySet())
        {
            System.out.println(entry.getKey()+"--->"+entry.getValue());
        }
    }

LinkedHashMap : It save the order in which entries were made. eg:

public static void main(String[] args){
        LinkedHashMap<String,Integer> linkedHashMap = new LinkedHashMap<>();
        linkedHashMap.put("First",1);// First ---> 1 is put first in the map
        linkedHashMap.put("Second",2);//Second ---> 2 is put second in the map
        linkedHashMap.put("Third",3); // Third--->3 is put third in the map
        for(Map.Entry<String,Integer> entry : linkedHashMap.entrySet())
        {
            System.out.println(entry.getKey()+"--->"+entry.getValue());
        }
    }

TreeMap : It saves the entries in ascending order of the keys. eg:

public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
        TreeMap<String,Integer> treeMap = new TreeMap<>();
        treeMap.put("A",1);// A---> 1 is put first in the map
        treeMap.put("C",2);//C---> 2 is put second in the map
        treeMap.put("B",3); //B--->3 is put third in the map
        for(Map.Entry<String,Integer> entry : treeMap.entrySet())
        {
            System.out.println(entry.getKey()+"--->"+entry.getValue());
        }
    }
