What is Hashmap?
HashMap<K, V> stores key-value pairs using hashing for fast lookups, insertions, and removals. Keys must be unique; duplicate keys replace old values. Rust uses cryptographically strong hashing for security. Items are unordered. Example: HashMap::new() or HashMap::from([("key", "value")]).
