public class TreeSet<T>

extends AbstractSet<E>

implements NavigableSet, Cloneable, Serializable

This class provides a TreeMap-backed implementation of the SortedSet interface. The elements will be sorted according to their natural order, or according to the provided Comparator.

Most operations are O(log n), but there is so much overhead that this makes small sets expensive. Note that the ordering must be consistent with equals to correctly implement the Set interface. If this condition is violated, the set is still well-behaved, but you may have suprising results when comparing it to other sets.

This implementation is not synchronized. If you need to share this between multiple threads, do something like:
SortedSet s = Collections.synchronizedSortedSet(new TreeSet(...));

The iterators are fail-fast, meaning that any structural modification, except for remove() called on the iterator itself, cause the iterator to throw a ConcurrentModificationException rather than exhibit non-deterministic behavior.

Since:: 1.2

TreeSet

public TreeSet()

Construct a new TreeSet whose backing TreeMap using the "natural" ordering of keys. Elements that are not mutually comparable will cause ClassCastExceptions down the road.
See Also:
Comparable

TreeSet

public TreeSet(SortedSet sortedSet)

Construct a new TreeSet, using the same key ordering as the supplied SortedSet and containing all of the elements in the supplied SortedSet. This constructor runs in linear time.

Construct a new TreeSet whose backing TreeMap uses the supplied Comparator. Elements that are not mutually comparable will cause ClassCastExceptions down the road.
Parameters:
comparator - the Comparator this Set will use

TreeSet

public TreeSet(T> collection)

Construct a new TreeSet whose backing TreeMap uses the "natural" orering of the keys and which contains all of the elements in the supplied Collection. This runs in n*log(n) time.
Parameters:
collection - the new Set will be initialized with all of the elements in this Collection
Throws:
ClassCastException - if the elements of the collection are not comparable
NullPointerException - if the collection is null
See Also:
Comparable

add

public boolean add(T obj)

Adds the spplied Object to the Set if it is not already in the Set; returns true if the element is added, false otherwise.
Parameters:
obj - the Object to be added to this Set
Throws:
ClassCastException - if the element cannot be compared with objects already in the set

addAll

public boolean addAll(T> c)

Adds all of the elements in the supplied Collection to this TreeSet.
Parameters:
c - The collection to add
Returns:
true if the Set is altered, false otherwise
Throws:
NullPointerException - if c is null
ClassCastException - if an element in c cannot be compared with objects already in the set

ceiling

public T ceiling(T e)

Returns the least or lowest element in the set greater than or equal to the given element, or null if there is no such element.
Parameters:
e - the element relative to the returned element.
Returns:
the least element greater than or equal to the given element, or null if there is no such element.
Throws:
ClassCastException - if the specified element can not be compared with those in the map.
NullPointerException - if the element is null and this set either uses natural ordering or a comparator that does not permit null elements.
Since:
1.6

clear

public void clear()

Removes all elements in this Set.
Specified by:
clear in interface Set<E>
clear in interface Collection<E>
Overrides:
clear in interface AbstractCollection<E>

clone

public Object clone()

Returns a shallow copy of this Set. The elements are not cloned.
Overrides:
clone in interface Object
Returns:
the cloned set

contains

public boolean contains(Object obj)

Returns true if this Set contains the supplied Object, false otherwise.
Specified by:
contains in interface Set<E>
contains in interface Collection<E>
Overrides:
contains in interface AbstractCollection<E>

Returns:
true if it is in the set

ClassCastException - if obj cannot be compared with objects already in the set

descendingIterator

public Iterator descendingIterator()

Returns an iterator over the elements of this set in descending order. This is equivalent to calling descendingSet().iterator().
Returns:
an iterator over the elements in descending order.
Since:
1.6

descendingSet

public NavigableSet descendingSet()

Returns a view of the set in reverse order. The descending set is backed by the original set, so that changes affect both sets. Any changes occurring to either set while an iteration is taking place (with the exception of a Iterator.remove() operation) result in undefined behaviour from the iteration. The ordering of the descending set is the same as for a set with a Comparator given by Collections.reverseOrder(), and calling descendingSet() on the descending set itself results in a view equivalent to the original set.
Returns:
a reverse order view of the set.

Parameters:
e - the element relative to the returned element.
Returns:
the greatest element less than or equal to the given element, or null if there is no such element.
Throws:
ClassCastException - if the specified element can not be compared with those in the map.
NullPointerException - if the element is null and this set either uses natural ordering or a comparator that does not permit null elements.
Since:
1.6

The subset will throw an IllegalArgumentException for any attempt to access or add an element beyond the specified cutoff.

inclusive - true if to should be included.

Returns a view of this Set including all elements greater or equal to from and less than to (a half-open interval). The returned set is backed by the original, so changes in one appear in the other. The subset will throw an IllegalArgumentException for any attempt to access or add an element beyond the specified cutoffs. The returned set includes the low endpoint but not the high; if you want to reverse this behavior on either end, pass in the successor element or call subSet(T,boolean,T,boolean).
