Java Programming - Objects and Collections - Discussion

Which collection class allows you to access its elements by associating a key with an element's value, and provides synchronization?

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

Hashtable is the only class listed that provides synchronized methods. If you need synchronization great; otherwise, use HashMap, it's faster.

What is synchronization in this?

Hashtable is synchronised but HashMap is not synchronised. So Hashtable is correct answer.

@Sanjeev Mishra. It means that the access to the underlying collection (add, get, set, put, remove, etc.) is all synchronized. It cannot take place simultaneously and finally its Thread Safe.
