SortedMap.headMap(K toKey) has the following syntax.
SortedMap < K , V > headMap(K toKey)
In the following code shows how to use SortedMap.headMap(K toKey) method.
/*from www.jav a 2 s. com*/ import java.util.SortedMap; import java.util.TreeMap; public class Main { public static void main(String[] args) { SortedMap<String, Integer> sortedMap = new TreeMap<String, Integer>(); sortedMap.put("A", 1); sortedMap.put("B", 2); sortedMap.put("C", 3); sortedMap.put("D", 4); sortedMap.put("E", 5); sortedMap.put("java2s", 6); SortedMap<String, Integer> map = sortedMap.headMap("C"); System.out.println(map); } }
The code above generates the following result.
