All Implemented Interfaces:
    NavigableMap, Cloneable, Serializable, Map

A Red-Black tree based NavigableMap implementation. The map is sorted according to the {@linkplain Comparable natural ordering} of its keys, or by a Comparator provided at map creation time, depending on which constructor is used.

This implementation provides guaranteed log(n) time cost for the {@code containsKey}, {@code get}, {@code put} and {@code remove} operations. Algorithms are adaptations of those in Cormen, Leiserson, and Rivest's Introduction to Algorithms.

Note that the ordering maintained by a tree map, like any sorted map, and whether or not an explicit comparator is provided, must be consistent with {@code equals} if this sorted map is to correctly implement the {@code Map} interface. (See {@code Comparable} or {@code Comparator} for a precise definition of consistent with equals.) This is so because the {@code Map} interface is defined in terms of the {@code equals} operation, but a sorted map performs all key comparisons using its {@code compareTo} (or {@code compare}) method, so two keys that are deemed equal by this method are, from the standpoint of the sorted map, equal. The behavior of a sorted map is well-defined even if its ordering is inconsistent with {@code equals}; it just fails to obey the general contract of the {@code Map} interface.

Note that this implementation is not synchronized. If multiple threads access a map concurrently, and at least one of the threads modifies the map structurally, it must be synchronized externally. (A structural modification is any operation that adds or deletes one or more mappings; merely changing the value associated with an existing key is not a structural modification.) This is typically accomplished by synchronizing on some object that naturally encapsulates the map. If no such object exists, the map should be "wrapped" using the Collections.synchronizedSortedMap method. This is best done at creation time, to prevent accidental unsynchronized access to the map:

  SortedMap m = Collections.synchronizedSortedMap(new TreeMap(...));

The iterators returned by the {@code iterator} method of the collections returned by all of this class's "collection view methods" are fail-fast: if the map is structurally modified at any time after the iterator is created, in any way except through the iterator's own {@code remove} method, the iterator will throw a ConcurrentModificationException . Thus, in the face of concurrent modification, the iterator fails quickly and cleanly, rather than risking arbitrary, non-deterministic behavior at an undetermined time in the future.

Note that the fail-fast behavior of an iterator cannot be guaranteed as it is, generally speaking, impossible to make any hard guarantees in the presence of unsynchronized concurrent modification. Fail-fast iterators throw {@code ConcurrentModificationException} on a best-effort basis. Therefore, it would be wrong to write a program that depended on this exception for its correctness: the fail-fast behavior of iterators should be used only to detect bugs.

All {@code Map.Entry} pairs returned by methods in this class and its views represent snapshots of mappings at the time they were produced. They do not support the {@code Entry.setValue} method. (Note however that it is possible to change mappings in the associated map using {@code put}.)

This class is a member of the Java Collections Framework.

Constructor:
 public TreeMap() 
 public TreeMap(Comparator<? super K> comparator) 
    Constructs a new, empty tree map, ordered according to the given comparator. All keys inserted into the map must be mutually comparable by the given comparator: {@code comparator.compare(k1, k2)} must not throw a {@code ClassCastException} for any keys {@code k1} and {@code k2} in the map. If the user attempts to put a key into the map that violates this constraint, the {@code put(Object key, Object value)} call will throw a {@code ClassCastException}.
    Parameters:
    comparator - the comparator that will be used to order this map. If {@code null}, the {@linkplain Comparable natural ordering} of the keys will be used.
 public TreeMap(Map<? extends K, ? extends V> m) 
    Constructs a new tree map containing the same mappings as the given map, ordered according to the natural ordering of its keys. All keys inserted into the new map must implement the Comparable interface. Furthermore, all such keys must be mutually comparable: {@code k1.compareTo(k2)} must not throw a {@code ClassCastException} for any keys {@code k1} and {@code k2} in the map. This method runs in n*log(n) time.
    Parameters:
    m - the map whose mappings are to be placed in this map
    Throws:
    ClassCastException - if the keys in m are not Comparable , or are not mutually comparable
    NullPointerException - if the specified map is null
 public TreeMap(SortedMap<K, ? extends V> m) 
    Constructs a new tree map containing the same mappings and using the same ordering as the specified sorted map. This method runs in linear time.
    Parameters:
    m - the sorted map whose mappings are to be placed in this map, and whose comparator is to be used to sort this map
    Throws:
    NullPointerException - if the specified map is null

Method from java.util.TreeMap Detail:
  void addAllForTreeSet(SortedSet<? extends K> set,
    V defaultVal) 
    Intended to be called only from TreeSet.addAll
 public Entry<K, V> ceilingEntry(K key) 
 public K ceilingKey(K key) 
 public  void clear() 
    Removes all of the mappings from this map. The map will be empty after this call returns.
 public Object clone() 
    Returns a shallow copy of this {@code TreeMap} instance. (The keys and values themselves are not cloned.)
 public Comparator<? super K> comparator() 
 final int compare(Object k1,
    Object k2) 
    Compares two keys using the correct comparison method for this TreeMap.
 public boolean containsKey(Object key) 
    Returns {@code true} if this map contains a mapping for the specified key.
 public boolean containsValue(Object value) 
    Returns {@code true} if this map maps one or more keys to the specified value. More formally, returns {@code true} if and only if this map contains at least one mapping to a value {@code v} such that {@code (value==null ? v==null : value.equals(v))}. This operation will probably require time linear in the map size for most implementations.
 Iterator<K> descendingKeyIterator() 
 public NavigableSet<K> descendingKeySet() 
 public NavigableMap<K, V> descendingMap() 
 public Set<K, V> entrySet() 
    Returns a Set view of the mappings contained in this map. The set's iterator returns the entries in ascending key order. The set is backed by the map, so changes to the map are reflected in the set, and vice-versa. If the map is modified while an iteration over the set is in progress (except through the iterator's own {@code remove} operation, or through the {@code setValue} operation on a map entry returned by the iterator) the results of the iteration are undefined. The set supports element removal, which removes the corresponding mapping from the map, via the {@code Iterator.remove}, {@code Set.remove}, {@code removeAll}, {@code retainAll} and {@code clear} operations. It does not support the {@code add} or {@code addAll} operations.
 static Entry<K, V> exportEntry(Entry<K, V> e) 
    Return SimpleImmutableEntry for entry, or null if null
 public Entry<K, V> firstEntry() 
 public K firstKey() 
 public Entry<K, V> floorEntry(K key) 
 public K floorKey(K key) 
 public V get(Object key) 
    Returns the value to which the specified key is mapped, or {@code null} if this map contains no mapping for the key.

    More formally, if this map contains a mapping from a key {@code k} to a value {@code v} such that {@code key} compares equal to {@code k} according to the map's ordering, then this method returns {@code v}; otherwise it returns {@code null}. (There can be at most one such mapping.)

    A return value of {@code null} does not necessarily indicate that the map contains no mapping for the key; it's also possible that the map explicitly maps the key to {@code null}. The containsKey operation may be used to distinguish these two cases.

 final Entry<K, V> getCeilingEntry(K key) 
    Gets the entry corresponding to the specified key; if no such entry exists, returns the entry for the least key greater than the specified key; if no such entry exists (i.e., the greatest key in the Tree is less than the specified key), returns {@code null}.
 final Entry<K, V> getEntry(Object key) 
    Returns this map's entry for the given key, or {@code null} if the map does not contain an entry for the key.
 final Entry<K, V> getEntryUsingComparator(Object key) 
    Version of getEntry using comparator. Split off from getEntry for performance. (This is not worth doing for most methods, that are less dependent on comparator performance, but is worthwhile here.)
 final Entry<K, V> getFirstEntry() 
    Returns the first Entry in the TreeMap (according to the TreeMap's key-sort function). Returns null if the TreeMap is empty.
 final Entry<K, V> getFloorEntry(K key) 
    Gets the entry corresponding to the specified key; if no such entry exists, returns the entry for the greatest key less than the specified key; if no such entry exists, returns {@code null}.
 final Entry<K, V> getHigherEntry(K key) 
    Gets the entry for the least key greater than the specified key; if no such entry exists, returns the entry for the least key greater than the specified key; if no such entry exists returns {@code null}.
 final Entry<K, V> getLastEntry() 
    Returns the last Entry in the TreeMap (according to the TreeMap's key-sort function). Returns null if the TreeMap is empty.
 final Entry<K, V> getLowerEntry(K key) 
    Returns the entry for the greatest key less than the specified key; if no such entry exists (i.e., the least key in the Tree is greater than the specified key), returns {@code null}.
 public SortedMap<K, V> headMap(K toKey) 
 public NavigableMap<K, V> headMap(K toKey,
    boolean inclusive) 
 public Entry<K, V> higherEntry(K key) 
 public K higherKey(K key) 
 static K key(Entry<K, ?> e) 
    Returns the key corresponding to the specified Entry.
 Iterator<K> keyIterator() 
 static K keyOrNull(Entry<K, V> e) 
    Return key for entry, or null if null
 public Set<K> keySet() 
    Returns a Set view of the keys contained in this map. The set's iterator returns the keys in ascending order. The set is backed by the map, so changes to the map are reflected in the set, and vice-versa. If the map is modified while an iteration over the set is in progress (except through the iterator's own {@code remove} operation), the results of the iteration are undefined. The set supports element removal, which removes the corresponding mapping from the map, via the {@code Iterator.remove}, {@code Set.remove}, {@code removeAll}, {@code retainAll}, and {@code clear} operations. It does not support the {@code add} or {@code addAll} operations.
 public Entry<K, V> lastEntry() 
 public K lastKey() 
 public Entry<K, V> lowerEntry(K key) 
 public K lowerKey(K key) 
 public NavigableSet<K> navigableKeySet() 
 public Entry<K, V> pollFirstEntry() 
 public Entry<K, V> pollLastEntry() 
 static Entry<K, V> predecessor(Entry<K, V> t) 
    Returns the predecessor of the specified Entry, or null if no such.
 public V put(K key,
    V value) 
    Associates the specified value with the specified key in this map. If the map previously contained a mapping for the key, the old value is replaced.
 public  void putAll(Map<? extends K, ? extends V> map) 
    Copies all of the mappings from the specified map to this map. These mappings replace any mappings that this map had for any of the keys currently in the specified map.
  void readTreeSet(int size,
    ObjectInputStream s,
    V defaultVal) throws IOException, ClassNotFoundException 
    Intended to be called only from TreeSet.readObject
 public V remove(Object key) 
    Removes the mapping for this key from this TreeMap if present.
 public int size() 
    Returns the number of key-value mappings in this map.
 public SortedMap<K, V> subMap(K fromKey,
    K toKey) 
 public NavigableMap<K, V> subMap(K fromKey,
    boolean fromInclusive,
    K toKey,
    boolean toInclusive) 
 static Entry<K, V> successor(Entry<K, V> t) 
    Returns the successor of the specified Entry, or null if no such.
 public SortedMap<K, V> tailMap(K fromKey) 
 public NavigableMap<K, V> tailMap(K fromKey,
    boolean inclusive) 
 static final boolean valEquals(Object o1,
    Object o2) 
    Test two values for equality. Differs from o1.equals(o2) only in that it copes with {@code null} o1 properly.
 public Collection<V> values() 
    Returns a Collection view of the values contained in this map. The collection's iterator returns the values in ascending order of the corresponding keys. The collection is backed by the map, so changes to the map are reflected in the collection, and vice-versa. If the map is modified while an iteration over the collection is in progress (except through the iterator's own {@code remove} operation), the results of the iteration are undefined. The collection supports element removal, which removes the corresponding mapping from the map, via the {@code Iterator.remove}, {@code Collection.remove}, {@code removeAll}, {@code retainAll} and {@code clear} operations. It does not support the {@code add} or {@code addAll} operations.
