firstKey(): It returns the key from TreeMap which have the least value(Key having lowest value) . It returns null if TreeMap is empty.
import java.util.TreeMap; class ExampleOfTreeMap { public static void main(String arg[]) { TreeMap<Integer, String> listOfNames = new TreeMap<Integer, String>(); listOfNames.put(3, "C"); listOfNames.put(1, "A"); listOfNames.put(2, "D"); listOfNames.put(6, "B"); listOfNames.put(8, "B"); // It return the Key having least Key of TreeMap System.out.println("Least Key of TreeMap :"+listOfNames.firstKey()); } }
Output: Least Key of TreeMap :1
