/**
 * This class implements a hashtable, which maps keys to values. Any 
 * non-<code>null</code> object can be used as a key or as a value. <p>
 *
 * To successfully store and retrieve objects from a hashtable, the 
 * objects used as keys must implement the <code>hashCode</code> 
 * method and the <code>equals</code> method. <p>
 *
 * An instance of <code>Hashtable</code> has two parameters that affect its
 * performance: <i>initial capacity</i> and <i>load factor</i>.  The
 * <i>capacity</i> is the number of <i>buckets</i> in the hash table, and the
 * <i>initial capacity</i> is simply the capacity at the time the hash table
 * is created.  Note that the hash table is <i>open</i>: in the case of a "hash
 * collision", a single bucket stores multiple entries, which must be searched
 * sequentially.  The <i>load factor</i> is a measure of how full the hash
 * table is allowed to get before its capacity is automatically increased.
 * The initial capacity and load factor parameters are merely hints to 
 * the implementation.  The exact details as to when and whether the rehash 
 * method is invoked are implementation-dependent.<p>
 *
 * Generally, the default load factor (.75) offers a good tradeoff between
 * time and space costs.  Higher values decrease the space overhead but
 * increase the time cost to look up an entry (which is reflected in most
 * <tt>Hashtable</tt> operations, including <tt>get</tt> and <tt>put</tt>).<p>
 *
 * The initial capacity controls a tradeoff between wasted space and the
 * need for <code>rehash</code> operations, which are time-consuming.
 * No <code>rehash</code> operations will <i>ever</i> occur if the initial
 * capacity is greater than the maximum number of entries the
 * <tt>Hashtable</tt> will contain divided by its load factor.  However,
 * setting the initial capacity too high can waste space.<p>
 *
 * If many entries are to be made into a <code>Hashtable</code>, 
 * creating it with a sufficiently large capacity may allow the 
 * entries to be inserted more efficiently than letting it perform 
 * automatic rehashing as needed to grow the table. <p>
 *
 * This example creates a hashtable of numbers. It uses the names of 
 * the numbers as keys:
 * <p><blockquote><pre>
 *     Hashtable numbers = new Hashtable();
 *     numbers.put("one", new Integer(1));
 *     numbers.put("two", new Integer(2));
 *     numbers.put("three", new Integer(3));
 * </pre></blockquote>
 * <p>
 * To retrieve a number, use the following code: 
 * <p><blockquote><pre>
 *     Integer n = (Integer)numbers.get("two");
 *     if (n != null) {
 *         System.out.println("two = " + n);
 *     }
 * </pre></blockquote>
 * <p>
 * As of the Java 2 platform v1.2, this class has been retrofitted to
 * implement Map, so that it becomes a part of Java's collection framework.
 * Unlike the new collection implementations, Hashtable is synchronized.<p>
 *
 * The Iterators returned by the iterator and listIterator methods
 * of the Collections returned by all of Hashtable's "collection view methods"
 * are <em>fail-fast</em>: if the Hashtable is structurally modified
 * at any time after the Iterator is created, in any way except through the
 * Iterator's own remove or add methods, the Iterator will throw a
 * ConcurrentModificationException.  Thus, in the face of concurrent
 * modification, the Iterator fails quickly and cleanly, rather than risking
 * arbitrary, non-deterministic behavior at an undetermined time in the future.
 * The Enumerations returned by Hashtable's keys and values methods are
 * <em>not</em> fail-fast.
 *
 * <p>Note that the fail-fast behavior of an iterator cannot be guaranteed
 * as it is, generally speaking, impossible to make any hard guarantees in the
 * presence of unsynchronized concurrent modification.  Fail-fast iterators
 * throw <tt>ConcurrentModificationException</tt> on a best-effort basis. 
 * Therefore, it would be wrong to write a program that depended on this
 * exception for its correctness: <i>the fail-fast behavior of iterators
 * should be used only to detect bugs.</i><p>
 *
 * This class is a member of the 
 * <a href="{@docRoot}/../guide/collections/index.html">
 * Java Collections Framework</a>.
