 Known Indirect Subclasses

A 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
subMap(K, K),
headMap(K), and
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,
keySet() can be overridden to return NavigableSet.

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.
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.
Returns a key-value mapping associated with the least
key in this map, or null if the map is empty.
Returns a key-value mapping associated with the greatest key
less than or equal to the given key, or null if there
is no such key.

map operations that this map supports.
The returned map will throw an IllegalArgumentException
on an attempt to insert a key outside its range.
