asmhatreandClaude Sonnet 5 4a74153d87 hashmap-concurrenthashmap: companion code for the HashMap vs ConcurrentHashMap interview guide
Adds JMH put/get throughput benchmarks (synchronizedMap vs ConcurrentHashMap,
swept at 1/2/4/8 threads), a computeIfAbsent recursion trap demo (CHM tolerates
recursion into a different key but throws IllegalStateException on the same
key; plain HashMap throws ConcurrentModificationException even single-threaded),
and a null-handling demo (CHM rejects null keys/values on put() and null keys
on get() too). 7/7 JUnit tests pass; all output/ transcripts captured from
real runs.

$ java NullHandlingDemo
=== HashMap: null key and null value are both fine ===
hm.get(null) = nullKeyValue
hm.get("k1") = null
=== ConcurrentHashMap: null key throws on put() ===
chm.put(null, "x") threw NullPointerException
=== ConcurrentHashMap: null value throws on put() ===
chm.put("k1", null) threw NullPointerException
=== ConcurrentHashMap: get(null) ALSO throws, not just put() ===
chm.get(null) threw: Cannot invoke "Object.hashCode()" because "key" is null
