Hello, I`m doing a project where I have to store the accounts of a bank in a hash table structure. I have managed to do that by using a HashMap object and storing the accounts using the pin numbers as keys.
The project demands that I use design by contract and I need to create a isWellFormed() method for the hash map in order to check the hash function it uses, whether the linked list is created properly... and I don't know how I could access the elements of the HashMap. Any ideas?
The HashMap API docs tell you all the access methods available.Quote:

I need access to the hash function and to the linked list it creates in case of collision...
I'm just guessing here as you don't provide much information on the requirements, but it sounds like the project requires you to write your own HashMap/HashTable - these values (hash function and buckets) are encapsulated within the HashMap class (eg, they aren't visible and you can't access these directly), and I can guarantee they are correctly built
