Java Java Data Structures Exploring the Java Collection Framework Maps

Count of numbers doesn't come out right.

My last step in my attached code it to get the numbers correct in the method for getting all Categories. I am using the same logic from the Example.java, and the Treet class, but it's not coming out right.

In testing the HashMap with jshell and java-repl, I see there is no accounting for case in the Map table. Therefore Cat4 and CAT4 would be considered different.

But no matter where I place a conversion like toUpperCase or toLoweCase, I can't make the results come out correctly.

Any clues as to why the logic works in one program but not mine?

Thanks in advance for any clues.
