HashMap maladies...

been working with hashmaps for quite a long time now... but one thing escapes me...Consider the following snippet to display the contemts of a HashMap in a sequential manner.

 //temp2 is a hashmap
 Set set2=temp2.entrySet();
       Iterator iHash2=set2.iterator();
     
       while(iHash2.hasNext()){
           Map.Entry me2= (Map.Entry) iHash2.next();
           System.out.println(me2.getKey());
           }

well if u understand the code ...( i dont see any issues here)..read on
I printed the order in which the elements were entered in the HashMap and later printed the hashMap using the above algorithm... both are different.... Any idea why??

I M a Monkey Coder

Yup i m a monkey coder..... i have to admit it much to my disgust.

My PM told me to do the designing before the coding, my teachers/proffesors told me exactly the same thing. But no... i was too happy with my coding skills. Damn success is really a lousy teacher... history is a good one. From today onwards i swear to design any program i decide to code.

I lost track of all the data structures i have used. Even an elegant language like java looks crappy...
when u see my code, a perl code will look more readable than mine. God save me...

Engineer :)

So finally am an engineer...
Somehow managed to go through the exam.. survived it....
Not that am bad at studies.. it was just that i did not feel like studying this time or write the exam.
I still think i can make it to 80% marks.. but thats too low for 8th sem exam. Now comes the sickest part... leaving the college... the niche u made for yourself and start it all over again...

Best of luck to me
