Interview question on java Why does StringBuffer/StringBuilder not override equals or hashCode? Ans:    Actually behind this everything depends upon hashcode code value. To understand this concept lets take an example : String str1 = new String ( "chandan" ); String str2 = new String ( "chandan" ); HashMap hm = new HashMap () hm . put ( str1 , "hello" ); hm . put ( str2 , "bye" ); final hm: hm = { chandan = bye } In above code, str1 and str2 are two different String objects. It should be added in HashMap ? Answer is  NO . Because before inserting/putting value in HashMap, it internally checks and compare hashCode value of  str1 ,  str2 . Both retun same hascode value because String class override equals() and hashcode() method. So upon executing  hm.put(str2,"bye");  first key will get override with new value. Now try this : StringBuilder sb1 = new StringBuilder ( "chandan" ...
