Difference between HashSet and HashMap?

by

HashSet is a set, e.g. {1,2,3,4,5}

HashMap is a key -> value (key to value) map, e.g. {a -> 1, b -> 2, c -> 2, d -> 1}

Notice in my example above that in the HashMap there must not be duplicate keys, but it may have duplicate values.

In the HashSet, there must be no duplicate elements.
