NavigableMap.higherKey(K key) has the following syntax.
K higherKey(K key)
In the following code shows how to use NavigableMap.higherKey(K key) method.
import java.util.NavigableMap; import java.util.TreeMap; //from w w w . j a v a 2s . c o m public class Main { public static void main(String args[]) { NavigableMap<String, String> nav = new TreeMap<String, String>(); nav.put("A", "a"); nav.put("B", "b"); nav.put("C", "c"); nav.put("D", "d"); nav.put("E", "e"); nav.put("F", "f"); System.out.println(nav); System.out.println(nav.higherKey("G")); } }
The code above generates the following result.
