Interface NavigableSet<E>

  • Type Parameters:
    E - the type of elements maintained by this set
    All Superinterfaces:
    Collection<E>, Iterable<E>, Set<E>, SortedSet<E>
    All Known Implementing Classes:
    ConcurrentSkipListSet, TreeSet

    public interface NavigableSet<E>
    extends SortedSet<E>
    A SortedSet extended with navigation methods reporting closest matches for given search targets. Methods lower, floor, ceiling, and higher return elements respectively less than, less than or equal, greater than or equal, and greater than a given element, returning null if there is no such element. A NavigableSet may be accessed and traversed in either ascending or descending order. The descendingSet method returns a view of the set with the senses of all relational and directional methods inverted. The performance of ascending operations and views is likely to be faster than that of descending ones. This interface additionally defines methods pollFirst and pollLast that return and remove the lowest and highest element, if one exists, else returning null. Methods subSet, headSet, and tailSet differ from the like-named SortedSet methods in accepting additional arguments describing whether lower and upper bounds are inclusive versus exclusive. Subsets of any NavigableSet must implement the NavigableSet interface.

    The return values of navigation methods may be ambiguous in implementations that permit null elements. However, even in this case the result can be disambiguated by checking contains(null). To avoid such issues, implementations of this interface are encouraged to not permit insertion of null elements. (Note that sorted sets of Comparable elements intrinsically do not permit null.)

    Methods subSet(E, E), headSet(E), and tailSet(E) are specified to return SortedSet to allow existing implementations of SortedSet to be compatibly retrofitted to implement NavigableSet, but extensions and implementations of this interface are encouraged to override these methods to return NavigableSet.

    This interface is a member of the Java Collections Framework.

      • iterator

        Iterator<E> iterator()
        Returns an iterator over the elements in this set, in ascending order.
        Specified by:
        iterator in interface Collection<E>
        Specified by:
        iterator in interface Iterable<E>
        Specified by:
        iterator in interface Set<E>
        Returns:
        an iterator over the elements in this set, in ascending order
      • descendingSet

        NavigableSet<E> descendingSet()
        Returns a reverse order view of the elements contained in this set. The descending set is backed by this set, so changes to the set are reflected in the descending set, and vice-versa. If either set is modified while an iteration over either set is in progress (except through the iterator's own remove operation), the results of the iteration are undefined.

        The returned set has an ordering equivalent to Collections.reverseOrder(comparator()). The expression s.descendingSet().descendingSet() returns a view of s essentially equivalent to s.

        Returns:
        a reverse order view of this set
      • descendingIterator

        Iterator<E> descendingIterator()
        Returns an iterator over the elements in this set, in descending order. Equivalent in effect to descendingSet().iterator().
        Returns:
        an iterator over the elements in this set, in descending order

                             boolean toInclusive)
        Returns a view of the portion of this set whose elements range from fromElement to toElement. If fromElement and toElement are equal, the returned set is empty unless fromInclusive and toInclusive are both true. The returned set is backed by this set, so changes in the returned set are reflected in this set, and vice-versa. The returned set supports all optional set operations that this set supports.

        The returned set will throw an IllegalArgumentException on an attempt to insert an element outside its range.

        Parameters:
        fromElement - low endpoint of the returned set
        fromInclusive - true if the low endpoint is to be included in the returned view

        toInclusive - true if the high endpoint is to be included in the returned view
        Returns:
        a view of the portion of this set whose elements range from fromElement, inclusive, to toElement, exclusive
        Throws:
        ClassCastException - if fromElement and toElement cannot be compared to one another using this set's comparator (or, if the set has no comparator, using natural ordering). Implementations may, but are not required to, throw this exception if fromElement or toElement cannot be compared to elements currently in the set.
        NullPointerException - if fromElement or toElement is null and this set does not permit null elements

The returned set is backed by this set, so changes in the returned set are reflected in this set, and vice-versa. The returned set supports all optional set operations that this set supports.

        The returned set will throw an IllegalArgumentException on an attempt to insert an element outside its range.

        Parameters:
