Thread: Hashtable loadFactor

So I have this hash constructor:

class chainingHash<String>{
 
	private static int DEFAULT_TABLE_SIZE = 101;
	private List<String>[] theList;
	static int currentSize;
 
        public chainingHash(int size){
		theList = new LinkedList[nextPrime(size)];
		for(int i = 0; i < theList.length; i++){
			theList[i] = new LinkedList<>();
		}
	}
}

What I want to know, is how can I change the loadFactor of the hash. All I know is that the default loadFactor is .75 but what if I wanted it to be something like .25. How would I be able to introduce the parameter float loadFactor into the constructor?
Here is my main method too:

public static void main(String[] arg){
                chainingHash s = new chainingHash(10);
		for(int i = 0; i < 10; i++){
			String word = words[(int)(Math.random()*nLine)];
			s.insert(word);
		}
		s.print()
};

The array words is just where I have a bunch of random words. Any help would be appreciated.

I guess what I'm asking is how can I have a custom loadFactor that I can change as much as I want. I'm trying to test how hashtables behave differently with different loadFactors. In order to do that, I need to be able to change it. So like the constructor would be something like:

public chainingHash(int size, float loadFactor){
		//type code here
}
