public class: TreeMap [javadoc | source]
java.lang.Object
   java.util.AbstractMap
      java.util.TreeMap

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 containsKey, get, put and remove operations. Algorithms are adaptations of those in Cormen, Leiserson, and Rivest's Introduction to Algorithms.

Note that the ordering maintained by a sorted map (whether or not an explicit comparator is provided) must be consistent with equals if this sorted map is to correctly implement the Map interface. (See Comparable or Comparator for a precise definition of consistent with equals.) This is so because the Map interface is defined in terms of the equals operation, but a map performs all key comparisons using its compareTo (or 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 equals; it just fails to obey the general contract of the 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 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 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 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 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 Entry.setValue method. (Note however that it is possible to change mappings in the associated map using put.)

This class is a member of the Java Collections Framework.

Constructor:
 public TreeMap() 
 public TreeMap(Comparator 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: comparator.compare(k1, k2) must not throw a ClassCastException for any keys k1 and k2 in the map. If the user attempts to put a key into the map that violates this constraint, the put(Object key, Object value) call will throw a ClassCastException.
    Parameters:
    comparator - the comparator that will be used to order this map. If null, the {@linkplain Comparable natural ordering} of the keys will be used.
 public TreeMap(Map 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: k1.compareTo(k2) must not throw a ClassCastException for any keys k1 and 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 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 set,
    V defaultVal) 
    Intended to be called only from TreeSet.addAll
 public Entry 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 TreeMap instance. (The keys and values themselves are not cloned.)
 public Comparator 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 true if this map contains a mapping for the specified key.
 public boolean containsValue(Object value) 
    Returns true if this map maps one or more keys to the specified value. More formally, returns true if and only if this map contains at least one mapping to a value v such that (value==null ? v==null : value.equals(v)). This operation will probably require time linear in the map size for most implementations.
 Iterator descendingKeyIterator() 
 public NavigableSet descendingKeySet() 
 public NavigableMap descendingMap() 
 public Set 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 remove operation, or through the 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 Iterator.remove, Set.remove, removeAll, retainAll and clear operations. It does not support the add or addAll operations.
 static Entry exportEntry(TreeMap.Entry e) 
    Return SimpleImmutableEntry for entry, or null if null
 public Entry firstEntry() 
 public K firstKey() 
 public Entry 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 TreeMap.Entry 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 null.
 final TreeMap.Entry getEntry(Object key) 
    Returns this map's entry for the given key, or null if the map does not contain an entry for the key.
 final TreeMap.Entry 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 TreeMap.Entry getFirstEntry() 
    Returns the first Entry in the TreeMap (according to the TreeMap's key-sort function). Returns null if the TreeMap is empty.
 final TreeMap.Entry 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 null.
 final TreeMap.Entry 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 null.
 final TreeMap.Entry getLastEntry() 
    Returns the last Entry in the TreeMap (according to the TreeMap's key-sort function). Returns null if the TreeMap is empty.
 final TreeMap.Entry 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 null.
 public SortedMap headMap(K toKey) 
 public NavigableMap headMap(K toKey,
    boolean inclusive) 
 public Entry higherEntry(K key) 
 public K higherKey(K key) 
 static K key(TreeMap.Entry e) 
    Returns the key corresponding to the specified Entry.
 Iterator keyIterator() 
 static K keyOrNull(TreeMap.Entry e) 
    Return key for entry, or null if null
 public Set 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 remove operation), the results of the iteration are undefined. The set supports element removal, which removes the corresponding mapping from the map, via the Iterator.remove, Set.remove, removeAll, retainAll, and clear operations. It does not support the add or addAll operations.
 public Entry lastEntry() 
 public K lastKey() 
 public Entry lowerEntry(K key) 
 public K lowerKey(K key) 
 public NavigableSet navigableKeySet() 
 public Entry pollFirstEntry() 
 public Entry pollLastEntry() 
 static TreeMap.Entry predecessor(TreeMap.Entry 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 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 ClassNotFoundException, IOException 
    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 subMap(K fromKey,
    K toKey) 
 public NavigableMap subMap(K fromKey,
    boolean fromInclusive,
    K toKey,
    boolean toInclusive) 
 static TreeMap.Entry successor(TreeMap.Entry t) 
    Returns the successor of the specified Entry, or null if no such.
 public SortedMap tailMap(K fromKey) 
 public NavigableMap 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 null o1 properly.
 public Collection 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 remove operation), the results of the iteration are undefined. The collection supports element removal, which removes the corresponding mapping from the map, via the Iterator.remove, Collection.remove, removeAll, retainAll and clear operations. It does not support the add or addAll operations.
