| j2me.util.NavigableMap
| NavigableMap | | public interface NavigableMap extends SortedMap(Code) | | A
java.util.SortedMap extended with navigation methods returning the
closest matches for given search targets. Methods
lowerEntry ,
floorEntry ,
ceilingEntry ,
and
higherEntry return
Map.Entry objects
associated with keys respectively less than, less than or equal,
greater than or equal, and greater than a given key, returning
null if there is no such key. Similarly, methods
lowerKey ,
floorKey ,
ceilingKey , and
higherKey return only the associated keys. All of these
methods are designed for locating, not traversing entries.
A
NavigableMap may be accessed and traversed in either
ascending or descending key order. The
descendingMap method returns a view of the map 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. Methods
subMap ,
headMap ,
and
tailMap differ from the like-named
SortedMap methods in accepting additional arguments describing
whether lower and upper bounds are inclusive versus exclusive.
Submaps of any
NavigableMap must implement the
NavigableMap interface.
This interface additionally defines methods
firstEntry ,
pollFirstEntry ,
lastEntry , and
pollLastEntry that return and/or remove the least and
greatest mappings, if any exist, else returning
null .
Implementations of entry-returning methods are expected to
return
Map.Entry pairs representing snapshots of mappings
at the time they were produced, and thus generally do not
support the optional
Entry.setValue method. Note however
that it is possible to change mappings in the associated map using
method
put .
Methods
NavigableMap.subMap(Object,Object) subMap(K, K) ,
NavigableMap.headMap(Object) headMap(K) , and
NavigableMap.tailMap(Object) tailMap(K) are specified to return
SortedMap to allow existing
implementations of
SortedMap to be compatibly retrofitted to
implement
NavigableMap , but extensions and implementations
of this interface are encouraged to override these methods to return
NavigableMap . Similarly,
NavigableMap.keySet() can be overriden to return
NavigableSet .
This interface is a member of the
Java Collections Framework.

Parameters:
key - the key an entry with the least key greater than or equal to key , or null if there is no such key
throws:
ClassCastException - if the specified key cannot be comparedwith the keys currently in the map
throws:
NullPointerException - if the specified key is nulland this map does not permit null keys |
| ceilingKey | | Object ceilingKey(Object key)(Code) | | Returns the least key greater than or equal to the given key,
or

Parameters:
key - the key the least key greater than or equal to key ,or null if there is no such key
throws:
ClassCastException - if the specified key cannot be comparedwith the keys currently in the map
throws:
NullPointerException - if the specified key is nulland this map does not permit null keys |
| descendingKeySet | | NavigableSet descendingKeySet()(Code) | | Returns a reverse order
NavigableSet view of the keys contained in this map.
The set's iterator returns the keys in descending 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.
a reverse order navigable set view of the keys in this map |
| descendingMap | | NavigableMap descendingMap()(Code) | | Returns a reverse order view of the mappings contained in this map.
The descending map is backed by this map, so changes to the map are
reflected in the descending map, and vice-versa. If either map is
modified while an iteration over a collection view of either map
is in progress (except through the iterator's own
remove operation), the results of the iteration are undefined.
The returned map has an ordering equivalent to
Collections.reverseOrder(Comparator) Collections.reverseOrder (comparator()).
The expression
m.descendingMap().descendingMap() returns a
view of
m essentially equivalent to
m .
