Which Set implementation provides the fastest lookups?

  1. TreeSet

  2. HashSet

  3. LinkedHashSet

  4. EnumSet

The correct answer is: HashSet

A HashSet provides the fastest lookups because it uses a hashing function to map values to indices, allowing for efficient retrieval and storage without any particular ordering. TreeSet and LinkedHashSet both use a binary tree data structure which requires more time for lookups due to comparisons and sorting. EnumSet is optimized for enums, but does not offer particularly fast lookups for all types of data.
