Class TreeMap<K,V>

java.lang.Object
java.util.AbstractMap<K,V>
java.util.TreeMap<K,V>
Type Parameters:
K - the type of keys maintained by this map
V - the type of mapped values
All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable, Cloneable, Map<K,V>, NavigableMap<K,V>, SequencedMap<K,V>, SortedMap<K,V>
public class TreeMap<K,V> extends AbstractMap<K,V> implements NavigableMap<K,V>, Cloneable, Serializable
A Red-Black tree based NavigableMap implementation. The map is sorted according to the 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 tree map, like any sorted map, and 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 sorted 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.

The methods ceilingEntry(K), firstEntry(), floorEntry(K), higherEntry(K), lastEntry(), lowerEntry(K), pollFirstEntry(), and pollLastEntry() return Map.Entry instances that represent snapshots of mappings as of the time of the call. They do not support mutation of the underlying map via the optional setValue method.

The putFirst and putLast methods of this class throw UnsupportedOperationException. The encounter order of mappings is determined by the comparison method; therefore, explicit positioning is not supported.

This class is a member of the Java Collections Framework.

  • Constructor Details

    • TreeMap

      public TreeMap()
      Constructs a new, empty tree map, using the natural ordering of its keys. All keys inserted into the 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. If the user attempts to put a key into the map that violates this constraint (for example, the user attempts to put a string key into a map whose keys are integers), the put(Object key, Object value) call will throw a ClassCastException.

    • 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: 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 natural ordering of the keys will be used.

    • TreeMap

      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: 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

    • TreeMap

      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 Details

    • size

      public int size()
      Returns the number of key-value mappings in this map.
      Specified by:
      size in interface Map<K,V>
      Overrides:
      size in class AbstractMap<K,V>
      Returns:
      the number of key-value mappings in this map

    • containsKey

      public boolean containsKey(Object key)
      Returns true if this map contains a mapping for the specified key.
      Specified by:
      containsKey in interface Map<K,V>
      Overrides:
      containsKey in class AbstractMap<K,V>
      Parameters:
      key - key whose presence in this map is to be tested
      Returns:
      true if this map contains a mapping for the specified key
      Throws:
      ClassCastException - if the specified key cannot be compared with the keys currently in the map
      NullPointerException - if the specified key is null and this map uses natural ordering, or its comparator does not permit null keys

    • containsValue

      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.
      Specified by:
      containsValue in interface Map<K,V>
      Overrides:
      containsValue in class AbstractMap<K,V>
      Parameters:
      value - value whose presence in this map is to be tested
      Returns:
      true if a mapping to value exists; false otherwise
      Since:
      1.2

    • get

      public V get(Object key)
      Returns the value to which the specified key is mapped, or null if this map contains no mapping for the key.

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

      A return value of 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 null. The containsKey operation may be used to distinguish these two cases.

      Specified by:
      get in interface Map<K,V>
      Overrides:
      get in class AbstractMap<K,V>
      Parameters:
      key - the key whose associated value is to be returned
      Returns:
      the value to which the specified key is mapped, or null if this map contains no mapping for the key
      Throws:
      ClassCastException - if the specified key cannot be compared with the keys currently in the map
      NullPointerException - if the specified key is null and this map uses natural ordering, or its comparator does not permit null keys

    • comparator

      public Comparator<? super K> comparator()
      Description copied from interface: SortedMap
      Returns the comparator used to order the keys in this map, or null if this map uses the natural ordering of its keys.
      Specified by:

      Throws:
      NoSuchElementException - if this map is empty

    • putFirst

      public V putFirst(K k, V v)
      Throws UnsupportedOperationException. The encounter order induced by this map's comparison method determines the position of mappings, so explicit positioning is not supported.
      Specified by:
      putFirst in interface SequencedMap<K,V>
      Specified by:
      putFirst in interface SortedMap<K,V>
      Parameters:

      v - the value
      Returns:
      the value previously associated with k, or null if none
      Throws:
      UnsupportedOperationException - always
      Since:
      21

    • putLast

      public V putLast(K k, V v)
      Throws UnsupportedOperationException. The encounter order induced by this map's comparison method determines the position of mappings, so explicit positioning is not supported.
      Specified by:
      putLast in interface SequencedMap<K,V>
      Specified by:
      putLast in interface SortedMap<K,V>
      Parameters:
      k - the key
      v - the value
      Returns:
      the value previously associated with k, or null if none
      Throws:
      UnsupportedOperationException - always
      Since:
      21

    • putAll

      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.
      Specified by:
      putAll in interface Map<K,V>
      Overrides:
      putAll in class AbstractMap<K,V>
      Parameters:
      map - mappings to be stored in this map
      Throws:
      ClassCastException - if the class of a key or value in the specified map prevents it from being stored in this map
      NullPointerException - if the specified map is null or the specified map contains a null key and this map does not permit null keys

    • put

      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.
      Specified by:
      put in interface Map<K,V>
      Overrides:
      put in class AbstractMap<K,V>
      Parameters:
      key - key with which the specified value is to be associated
      value - value to be associated with the specified key
      Returns:
      the previous value associated with key, or null if there was no mapping for key. (A null return can also indicate that the map previously associated null with key.)
      Throws:
      ClassCastException - if the specified key cannot be compared with the keys currently in the map
      NullPointerException - if the specified key is null and this map uses natural ordering, or its comparator does not permit null keys

    • computeIfAbsent

      public V computeIfAbsent(K key, Function<? super K,? extends V> mappingFunction)
      If the specified key is not already associated with a value (or is mapped to null), attempts to compute its value using the given mapping function and enters it into this map unless null.

      If the mapping function returns null, no mapping is recorded. If the mapping function itself throws an (unchecked) exception, the exception is rethrown, and no mapping is recorded. The most common usage is to construct a new object serving as an initial mapped value or memoized result, as in: 

       
 map.computeIfAbsent(key, k -> new Value(f(k)));

      Or to implement a multi-value map, Map<K,Collection<V>>, supporting multiple values per key: 

       
 map.computeIfAbsent(key, k -> new HashSet<V>()).add(v);

      The mapping function should not modify this map during computation.

      This method will, on a best-effort basis, throw a ConcurrentModificationException if it is detected that the mapping function modifies this map during computation.

      Specified by:
      computeIfAbsent in interface Map<K,V>
      Parameters:
      key - key with which the specified value is to be associated
      mappingFunction - the mapping function to compute a value
      Returns:
      the current (existing or computed) value associated with the specified key, or null if the computed value is null
      Throws:
      ConcurrentModificationException - if it is detected that the mapping function modified this map

    • computeIfPresent

      public V computeIfPresent(K key, BiFunction<? super K,? super V,? extends V> remappingFunction)
      If the value for the specified key is present and non-null, attempts to compute a new mapping given the key and its current mapped value.

      If the remapping function returns null, the mapping is removed. If the remapping function itself throws an (unchecked) exception, the exception is rethrown, and the current mapping is left unchanged.

      The remapping function should not modify this map during computation.

      This method will, on a best-effort basis, throw a ConcurrentModificationException if it is detected that the remapping function modifies this map during computation.

      Specified by:
      computeIfPresent in interface Map<K,V>
      Parameters:
      key - key with which the specified value is to be associated
      remappingFunction - the remapping function to compute a value
      Returns:
      the new value associated with the specified key, or null if none
      Throws:
      ConcurrentModificationException - if it is detected that the remapping function modified this map

    • compute

      public V compute(K key, BiFunction<? super K,? super V,? extends V> remappingFunction)
      Attempts to compute a mapping for the specified key and its current mapped value (or null if there is no current mapping). For example, to either create or append a String msg to a value mapping: 
       
 map.compute(key, (k, v) -> (v == null) ? msg : v.concat(msg))
      (Method merge() is often simpler to use for such purposes.)

      If the remapping function returns null, the mapping is removed (or remains absent if initially absent). If the remapping function itself throws an (unchecked) exception, the exception is rethrown, and the current mapping is left unchanged.

      The remapping function should not modify this map during computation.

      This method will, on a best-effort basis, throw a ConcurrentModificationException if it is detected that the remapping function modifies this map during computation.

      Specified by:
      compute in interface Map<K,V>
      Parameters:
      key - key with which the specified value is to be associated
      remappingFunction - the remapping function to compute a value
      Returns:
      the new value associated with the specified key, or null if none
      Throws:
      ConcurrentModificationException - if it is detected that the remapping function modified this map

    • merge

      public V merge(K key, V value, BiFunction<? super V,? super V,? extends V> remappingFunction)
      If the specified key is not already associated with a value or is associated with null, associates it with the given non-null value. Otherwise, replaces the associated value with the results of the given remapping function, or removes if the result is null. This method may be of use when combining multiple mapped values for a key. For example, to either create or append a String msg to a value mapping: 
       
 map.merge(key, msg, String::concat)

      If the remapping function returns null, the mapping is removed. If the remapping function itself throws an (unchecked) exception, the exception is rethrown, and the current mapping is left unchanged.

      The remapping function should not modify this map during computation.

      This method will, on a best-effort basis, throw a ConcurrentModificationException if it is detected that the remapping function modifies this map during computation.

      Specified by:
      merge in interface Map<K,V>
      Parameters:
      key - key with which the resulting value is to be associated
      value - the non-null value to be merged with the existing value associated with the key or, if no existing value or a null value is associated with the key, to be associated with the key
      remappingFunction - the remapping function to recompute a value if present
      Returns:
      the new value associated with the specified key, or null if no value is associated with the key
      Throws:
      ConcurrentModificationException - if it is detected that the remapping function modified this map

    • remove

      public V remove(Object key)
      Removes the mapping for this key from this TreeMap if present.

      Parameters:
      key - key for which mapping should be removed
      Returns:
      the previous value associated with key, or null if there was no mapping for key. (A null return can also indicate that the map previously associated null with key.)
      Throws:
      ClassCastException - if the specified key cannot be compared with the keys currently in the map
      NullPointerException - if the specified key is null and this map uses natural ordering, or its comparator does not permit null keys

    • clear

      public void clear()
      Removes all of the mappings from this map. The map will be empty after this call returns.
      Specified by:

    • keySet

      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's spliterator is late-binding, fail-fast, and additionally reports Spliterator.SORTED and Spliterator.ORDERED with an encounter order that is ascending key order. The spliterator's comparator (see Spliterator.getComparator()) is null if the tree map's comparator (see comparator()) is null. Otherwise, the spliterator's comparator is the same as or imposes the same total ordering as the tree map's comparator.

      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.

      Specified by:
      keySet in interface Map<K,V>

      public NavigableSet<K> descendingKeySet()
      Description copied from interface: NavigableMap
      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.
      Specified by:
      descendingKeySet in interface NavigableMap<K,V>

    • values

      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's spliterator is late-binding, fail-fast, and additionally reports Spliterator.ORDERED with an encounter order that is 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.

      Specified by:
      values in interface Map<K,V>

    • entrySet

      public Set<Map.Entry<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's spliterator is late-binding, fail-fast, and additionally reports Spliterator.SORTED and Spliterator.ORDERED with an encounter order that is 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.

      Specified by:
      entrySet in interface Map<K,V>
      Specified by:

    • descendingMap

      public NavigableMap<K,V> descendingMap()
      Description copied from interface: NavigableMap
      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()). The expression m.descendingMap().descendingMap() returns a view of m essentially equivalent to m.

      Specified by:
      descendingMap in interface NavigableMap<K,V>
      Returns:
      a reverse order view of this map
