Generic Hash Map Using Array

import java.util.LinkedList;

/**
 * A generic implementation of a hash map using an array of linked lists for collision resolution.
 * This class provides a way to store key-value pairs efficiently, allowing for average-case
 * constant time complexity for insertion, deletion, and retrieval operations.
 *
 * <p>
 * The hash map uses separate chaining for collision resolution. Each bucket in the hash map is a
 * linked list that stores nodes containing key-value pairs. When a collision occurs (i.e., when
 * two keys hash to the same index), the new key-value pair is simply added to the corresponding
 * linked list.
 * </p>
 *
 * <p>
 * The hash map automatically resizes itself when the load factor exceeds 0.75. The load factor is
 * defined as the ratio of the number of entries to the number of buckets. When resizing occurs,
 * all existing entries are rehashed and inserted into the new buckets.
 * </p>
 *
 * @param <K> the type of keys maintained by this hash map
 * @param <V> the type of mapped values
