Method Detail

navigableSubMap

ConcurrentNavigableMap<K,V> navigableSubMap(K fromKey,
                                            K toKey)
Description copied from interface: NavigableMap
Returns a view of the portion of this map whose keys range from fromKey, inclusive, to toKey, exclusive. (If fromKey and toKey are equal, the returned map is empty.) The returned map is backed by this map, so changes in the returned map are reflected in this map, and vice-versa. The returned map supports all optional map operations that this map supports.

The returned map will throw an IllegalArgumentException on an attempt to insert a key outside its range.

Specified by:
navigableSubMap in interface NavigableMap<K,V>
Parameters:
fromKey - low endpoint (inclusive) of the keys in the returned map
toKey - high endpoint (exclusive) of the keys in the returned map
Returns:
a view of the portion of this map whose keys range from fromKey, inclusive, to toKey, exclusive
Throws:
ClassCastException - if fromKey and toKey cannot be compared to one another using this map's comparator (or, if the map has no comparator, using natural ordering). Implementations may, but are not required to, throw this exception if fromKey or toKey cannot be compared to keys currently in the map.
NullPointerException - if fromKey or toKey is null and this map does not permit null keys
IllegalArgumentException - if fromKey is greater than toKey; or if this map itself has a restricted range, and fromKey or toKey lies outside the bounds of the range

navigableHeadMap

ConcurrentNavigableMap<K,V> navigableHeadMap(K toKey)
Description copied from interface: NavigableMap
Returns a view of the portion of this map whose keys are strictly less than toKey. The returned map is backed by this map, so changes in the returned map are reflected in this map, and vice-versa. The returned map supports all optional map operations that this map supports.

The returned map will throw an IllegalArgumentException on an attempt to insert a key outside its range.

Specified by:
navigableHeadMap in interface NavigableMap<K,V>
Parameters:
toKey - high endpoint (exclusive) of the keys in the returned map
Returns:
a view of the portion of this map whose keys are strictly less than toKey
Throws:
ClassCastException - if toKey is not compatible with this map's comparator (or, if the map has no comparator, if toKey does not implement Comparable). Implementations may, but are not required to, throw this exception if toKey cannot be compared to keys currently in the map.
NullPointerException - if toKey is null and this map does not permit null keys
IllegalArgumentException - if this map itself has a restricted range, and toKey lies outside the bounds of the range

navigableTailMap

ConcurrentNavigableMap<K,V> navigableTailMap(K fromKey)
Description copied from interface: NavigableMap
Returns a view of the portion of this map whose keys are greater than or equal to fromKey. The returned map is backed by this map, so changes in the returned map are reflected in this map, and vice-versa. The returned map supports all optional map operations that this map supports.

The returned map will throw an IllegalArgumentException on an attempt to insert a key outside its range.

Specified by:
navigableTailMap in interface NavigableMap<K,V>
Parameters:
fromKey - low endpoint (inclusive) of the keys in the returned map
Returns:
a view of the portion of this map whose keys are greater than or equal to fromKey
Throws:
ClassCastException - if fromKey is not compatible with this map's comparator (or, if the map has no comparator, if fromKey does not implement Comparable). Implementations may, but are not required to, throw this exception if fromKey cannot be compared to keys currently in the map.
NullPointerException - if fromKey is null and this map does not permit null keys
IllegalArgumentException - if this map itself has a restricted range, and fromKey lies outside the bounds of the range

subMap

ConcurrentNavigableMap<K,V> subMap(K fromKey,
                                   K toKey)
Equivalent to navigableSubMap(K, K).

Returns a view of the portion of this map whose keys range from fromKey, inclusive, to toKey, exclusive. (If fromKey and toKey are equal, the returned map is empty.) The returned map is backed by this map, so changes in the returned map are reflected in this map, and vice-versa. The returned map supports all optional map operations that this map supports.

The returned map will throw an IllegalArgumentException on an attempt to insert a key outside its range.

Specified by:
subMap in interface SortedMap<K,V>
Parameters:
fromKey - low endpoint (inclusive) of the keys in the returned map
toKey - high endpoint (exclusive) of the keys in the returned map
Returns:
a view of the portion of this map whose keys range from fromKey, inclusive, to toKey, exclusive
Throws:
ClassCastException - if fromKey and toKey cannot be compared to one another using this map's comparator (or, if the map has no comparator, using natural ordering). Implementations may, but are not required to, throw this exception if fromKey or toKey cannot be compared to keys currently in the map.
NullPointerException - if fromKey or toKey is null and this map does not permit null keys
IllegalArgumentException - if fromKey is greater than toKey; or if this map itself has a restricted range, and fromKey or toKey lies outside the bounds of the range

headMap

ConcurrentNavigableMap<K,V> headMap(K toKey)
Equivalent to navigableHeadMap(K).

Returns a view of the portion of this map whose keys are strictly less than toKey. The returned map is backed by this map, so changes in the returned map are reflected in this map, and vice-versa. The returned map supports all optional map operations that this map supports.

The returned map will throw an IllegalArgumentException on an attempt to insert a key outside its range.

Specified by:
headMap in interface SortedMap<K,V>
Parameters:
toKey - high endpoint (exclusive) of the keys in the returned map
Returns:
a view of the portion of this map whose keys are strictly less than toKey

NullPointerException - if toKey is null and this map does not permit null keys
IllegalArgumentException - if this map itself has a restricted range, and toKey lies outside the bounds of the range

tailMap

ConcurrentNavigableMap<K,V> tailMap(K fromKey)
Equivalent to navigableTailMap(K).

Returns a view of the portion of this map whose keys are greater than or equal to fromKey. The returned map is backed by this map, so changes in the returned map are reflected in this map, and vice-versa. The returned map supports all optional map operations that this map supports.

The returned map will throw an IllegalArgumentException on an attempt to insert a key outside its range.
