public class TreeMap<K,V> extends AbstractMap<K,V> implements NavigableMap<K,V>, Cloneable, Serializable
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.

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.public TreeMap(Comparator<? super K> comparator)

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.containsValue in interface Map<K,V>

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.

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);

If the remapping function returns null, the mapping is removed (or remains absent if initially absent).

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.

fromKey - low endpoint (inclusive) of the keys in the returned mapfromKey
ClassCastException - if fromKey is not compatible with this map's comparator (or, if the map has no comparator, if fromKey does not implement Comparable). Implementations may, but are not required to, throw this exception if fromKey cannot be compared to keys currently in the map.NullPointerException - if fromKey is null and this map uses natural ordering, or its comparator does not permit null keysIllegalArgumentException - if this map itself has a restricted range, and fromKey lies outside the bounds of the range
