    Main differences between a Set and a Map in Java are:

    1. Duplicate Elements: A Set does not allow inserting

    duplicate elements. A Map does not allow using duplicate

    keys, but it allows inserting duplicate values for unique

    keys.

    2. Null values: A Set allows inserting maximum one null

    value. In a Map we can have single null key at most and

    any number of null values.

    3. Ordering: A Set does not maintain any order of elements.

    Some of sub-classes of a Set can sort the elements in an

    order like LinkedHashSet. A Map does not maintain any

    order of its elements. Some of its sub-classes like

    TreeMap store elements of the map in ascending order of

    keys.
