Why is the initial capacity of HashMap 16 instead of 8 or 32. When the number of elements is uncertain, use the initial default capacity of 16 or how much?

I don’t see the point of your Question. You can pass to the constructor any initial capacity you want. – Basil Bourque Aug 01 '20 at 15:58
Apparently the designers determined that was the best default compromise. – chrylis -cautiouslyoptimistic- Aug 01 '20 at 17:38
