What if we insert with key null to a HashMap?

Didn't know, however, it's a very edge case, you can insert and the hashcode will be 0, so it's identifying the '0' bucket.

HashMap allows null as both key and value, as well. So you can associate a value to null key. However, TreeMap throws a NullPointerException if you try to put a key with null value.
