Map.Entry < K , V > firstEntry()
In the following code shows how to use NavigableMap.firstEntry() method.
//ww w . ja v a 2 s. c om import java.util.Iterator; import java.util.NavigableMap; import java.util.NavigableSet; import java.util.TreeMap; public class Main { public static void main(String[] args) { NavigableMap<String, Integer> navigableMap = new TreeMap<String, Integer>(); String[] letters = { "a", "b", "c" }; int[] ints = { 3, 2, 1 }; for (int i = 0; i < letters.length; i++){ navigableMap.put(letters[i], ints[i]); } System.out.println("Map = " + navigableMap); System.out.println("First entry = " + navigableMap.firstEntry()); } }
The code above generates the following result.
