Generic Hash Map Using Array List

/**
 * A generic implementation of a hash map using an array list of linked lists for collision resolution.
 * This class allows storage of key-value pairs with average-case constant time complexity for insertion,
 * deletion, and retrieval operations.
 *
 * <p>
 * The hash map uses separate chaining to handle collisions. Each bucket in the hash map is represented
 * by a linked list that holds nodes containing key-value pairs. When multiple keys hash to the same index,
 * they are stored in the same linked list.
 * </p>
 *
 * <p>
 * The hash map automatically resizes itself when the load factor exceeds 0.5. 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
