Linear Probing Hash Map

package com.thealgorithms.datastructures.hashmap.hashing;

import java.util.ArrayList;

/**
 * This class implements a hash table using linear probing to resolve collisions.
 * Linear probing is a collision resolution method where each slot in the hash table is checked in a sequential manner
 * until an empty slot is found.
 *
 * <p>
 * The class allows for storing key-value pairs, where both the key and value are generic types.
 * The key must be of a type that implements the Comparable interface to ensure that the keys can be compared for sorting.
 * </p>
 *
 * <p>
 * This implementation supports basic operations such as:
 * <ul>
 *     <li><b>put(Key key, Value value)</b>: Adds a key-value pair to the hash table. If the key already exists, its value is updated.</li>
 *     <li><b>get(Key key)</b>: Retrieves the value associated with the given key.</li>
 *     <li><b>delete(Key key)</b>: Removes the key and its associated value from the hash table.</li>
 *     <li><b>contains(Key key)</b>: Checks if the hash table contains a given key.</li>
 *     <li><b>size()</b>: Returns the number of key-value pairs in the hash table.</li>
 *     <li><b>keys()</b>: Returns an iterable collection of keys stored in the hash table.</li>
 * </ul>
 * </p>
 *
 * <p>
 * The internal size of the hash table is automatically resized when the load factor exceeds 0.5 or falls below 0.125,
 * ensuring efficient space utilization.
 * </p>

 * @param <Key> the type of keys maintained by this map
 * @param <Value> the type of mapped values
