LeetCode - Design HashSet

Wed, 08 Jul 2026 09:41:21 +0300

The problem

Design a HashSet without using any built-in hash table libraries.

Implement MyHashSet class:

void add(key) Inserts the value key into the HashSet.
bool contains(key) Returns whether the value key exists in the HashSet.
void remove(key) Removes the value key from the HashSet. If key does not exist in the HashSet, do nothing.

Example 1:

Input
["MyHashSet", "add", "add", "contains", "contains", "add", "contains", "remove", "contains"]
[[], [1], [2], [1], [3], [2], [2], [2], [2]]
Output
[null, null, null, true, false, null, true, null, false]

Explanation
MyHashSet myHashSet = new MyHashSet();
myHashSet.add(1);      // set = [1]
myHashSet.add(2);      // set = [1, 2]
myHashSet.contains(1); // return True
myHashSet.contains(3); // return False, (not found)
myHashSet.add(2);      // set = [1, 2]
myHashSet.contains(2); // return True
myHashSet.remove(2);   // set = [1]
myHashSet.contains(2); // return False, (already removed)
