TreeMap.pollFirstEntry() has the following syntax.
public Map.Entry <K , V> pollFirstEntry()
In the following code shows how to use TreeMap.pollFirstEntry() method.
import java.util.TreeMap; /*w w w . jav a 2 s .co m*/ 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"); // polling first entry System.out.println("Value before poll: "+ treemap); System.out.println("Value returned: "+ treemap.pollFirstEntry()); System.out.println("Value after poll: "+ treemap); } }
The code above generates the following result.
