I saw that LinkedHashSet
extends HashSet
and I know it preserves order.
However, from checking the code in the JDK it seems that LinkedHashSet
contains only constuctor and no implementation, so I guess all the logic happens in HashSet
?
If that is correct, why is it designed like that? it seems very confusing.
EDIT: there was an unfortunate mistake in the question. I wrote HashMap
and LinkedHashMap
instead of HashSet
and LinkedHashSet
. I fixed the question answer it if possible.
Also, I was interested why Java designers chose to implement it like that.
