TreeMap.firstEntry() has the following syntax.
public Map.Entry <K , V> firstEntry()
In the following code shows how to use TreeMap.firstEntry() method.
/*from w w w .j a va 2 s . c o m*/ import java.util.TreeMap; public class Main { public static void main(String[] args) { TreeMap<Integer, String> treemap = new TreeMap<Integer, String> (); // populating tree map treemap.put(2, "two"); treemap.put(1, "one"); treemap.put(3, "three"); treemap.put(6, "six"); treemap.put(5, "from java2s.com"); System.out.println("Checking first entry"); System.out.println("First entry is: "+ treemap.firstEntry()); } }
The code above generates the following result.
