| 28 | +/** | |
| 29 | + * A {@link Map} that further provides a <em>total ordering</em> on its keys. | |
| 30 | + * The map is ordered according to the {@linkplain Comparable natural | |
| 31 | + * ordering} of its keys, or by a {@link Comparator} typically | |
| 32 | + * provided at sorted map creation time. This order is reflected when | |
| 33 | + * iterating over the sorted map's collection views (returned by the | |
| 34 | + * {@code entrySet}, {@code keySet} and {@code values} methods). | |
| 35 | + * Several additional operations are provided to take advantage of the | |
| 36 | + * ordering. (This interface is the map analogue of {@link SortedSet}.) | |
| 37 | + * | |
| 38 | + * <p>All keys inserted into a sorted map must implement the {@code Comparable} | |
| 39 | + * interface (or be accepted by the specified comparator). Furthermore, all | |
| 40 | + * such keys must be <em>mutually comparable</em>: {@code k1.compareTo(k2)} (or | |
| 41 | + * {@code comparator.compare(k1, k2)}) must not throw a | |
| 42 | + * {@code ClassCastException} for any keys {@code k1} and {@code k2} in | |
| 43 | + * the sorted map. Attempts to violate this restriction will cause the | |
| 44 | + * offending method or constructor invocation to throw a | |
| 45 | + * {@code ClassCastException}. | |
| 46 | + * | |
| 47 | + * <p>Note that the ordering maintained by a sorted map (whether or not an | |
| 48 | + * explicit comparator is provided) must be <em>consistent with equals</em> if | |
| 49 | + * the sorted map is to correctly implement the {@code Map} interface. (See | |
| 50 | + * the {@code Comparable} interface or {@code Comparator} interface for a | |
| 51 | + * precise definition of <em>consistent with equals</em>.) This is so because | |
| 52 | + * the {@code Map} interface is defined in terms of the {@code equals} | |
| 53 | + * operation, but a sorted map performs all key comparisons using its | |
| 54 | + * {@code compareTo} (or {@code compare}) method, so two keys that are | |
| 55 | + * deemed equal by this method are, from the standpoint of the sorted map, | |
| 56 | + * equal. The behavior of a tree map <em>is</em> well-defined even if its | |
| 57 | + * ordering is inconsistent with equals; it just fails to obey the general | |
| 58 | + * contract of the {@code Map} interface. | |
| 59 | + * | |
| 60 | + * <p>All general-purpose sorted map implementation classes should provide four | |
| 61 | + * "standard" constructors. It is not possible to enforce this recommendation | |
| 62 | + * though as required constructors cannot be specified by interfaces. The | |
| 63 | + * expected "standard" constructors for all sorted map implementations are: | |
| 64 | + * <ol> | |
| 65 | + * <li>A void (no arguments) constructor, which creates an empty sorted map | |
| 66 | + * sorted according to the natural ordering of its keys.</li> | |
| 67 | + * <li>A constructor with a single argument of type {@code Comparator}, which | |
| 68 | + * creates an empty sorted map sorted according to the specified comparator.</li> | |
| 69 | + * <li>A constructor with a single argument of type {@code Map}, which creates | |
| 70 | + * a new map with the same key-value mappings as its argument, sorted | |
| 71 | + * according to the keys' natural ordering.</li> | |
| 72 | + * <li>A constructor with a single argument of type {@code SortedMap}, which | |
| 73 | + * creates a new sorted map with the same key-value mappings and the same | |
| 74 | + * ordering as the input sorted map.</li> | |
| 75 | + * </ol> | |
| 76 | + * | |
| 77 | + * <p><strong>Note</strong>: several methods return submaps with restricted key | |
| 78 | + * ranges. Such ranges are <em>half-open</em>, that is, they include their low | |
| 79 | + * endpoint but not their high endpoint (where applicable). If you need a | |
| 80 | + * <em>closed range</em> (which includes both endpoints), and the key type | |
| 81 | + * allows for calculation of the successor of a given key, merely request | |
| 82 | + * the subrange from {@code lowEndpoint} to | |
| 83 | + * {@code successor(highEndpoint)}. For example, suppose that {@code m} | |
| 84 | + * is a map whose keys are strings. The following idiom obtains a view | |
| 85 | + * containing all of the key-value mappings in {@code m} whose keys are | |
| 86 | + * between {@code low} and {@code high}, inclusive:<pre> | |
| 87 | + * SortedMap<String, V> sub = m.subMap(low, high+"\0");</pre> | |
| 88 | + * | |
| 89 | + * A similar technique can be used to generate an <em>open range</em> | |
| 90 | + * (which contains neither endpoint). The following idiom obtains a | |
| 91 | + * view containing all of the key-value mappings in {@code m} whose keys | |
| 92 | + * are between {@code low} and {@code high}, exclusive:<pre> | |
| 93 | + * SortedMap<String, V> sub = m.subMap(low+"\0", high);</pre> | |
