What makes a HashSet different from a TreeSet? Mention a common thing between this.

							HashSet and TreeSet are both implementations of the Set interface in Java, but they have some key differences:
- HashSet:
- Implemented using a hash table data structure.
 - Does not guarantee any specific order of elements.
 - Allows null elements.
 - Offers faster performance for adding, removing, and checking element presence compared to TreeSet.
 - Time complexity: O(1) on average for basic operations, but O(n) in the worst case.
 
 - TreeSet:
- Implemented using a self-balancing binary search tree (Red-Black tree).
 - Stores elements in a sorted order based on natural ordering or a custom Comparator.
 - Does not allow null elements.
 - Has slower performance for basic operations compared to HashSet, with a time complexity of O(log n).
 - Provides additional operations for range searches and retrieving first/last elements.
 
 
A common feature between HashSet and TreeSet is that both implementations do not allow duplicate elements.
When choosing between HashSet and TreeSet, consider the following:
- If element order is unimportant and you require fast operations, go for HashSet.
 - If you need elements sorted or require additional operations, TreeSet is a better choice.
 
Remember, both implementations ensure uniqueness of elements.
I hope this clarifies the differences and helps you choose the appropriate implementation for your specific needs. Let me know if you have any further questions!
