The getExpectedMap method is used everywhere in your huge project. At some point, the testers discovered that the getExpectedMap method throws a NullPointerException. The expected behavior is described in the main method's comments.

Bad task. The "official" solution produces an output different from what it says it wants.

Could you be more specific, please?

The commented output in the solution specifies:

/* Expected output
********* Add obj with key NULL *********
1
text 1
*********  Add obj with key 0 *********
2
text 1
text 2
********* Keys *********
0
null
********* Values *********
text 2
text 1
         */

However, if you copy/paste the solution, it will actually output the keys as:

null
0

and it will output Values as:

text 1
text 2

It will pass validation while generating this output, at least. But I was quite stuck for a while trying to figure out why my outputs were in reverse order, and eventually gave up and pasted in the solution, only to find that it was doing exactly the same thing as my own solution.
