HashSet load factor

Question

If I use a HashSet with a initial capacity of 10 and a load factor of 0.5 then every 5 elements added the HashSet will be increased or first the

Answer 1

Default initial capacity of the HashMap takes is 16 and load factor is 0.75f (i.e 75% of current map size). The load factor represents at what level the HashMap capacity should be doubled.

For example product of capacity and load factor as 16 * 0.75 = 12. This represents that after storing the 12th key – value pair into the HashMap , its capacity becomes 32.
