firstEntry(): It returns the key-value pair having the least key (Key having lowest value). It returns the pair that associated with least key. 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 Pair of Key and value of least Key of TreeMap System.out.println("Pair of least Key :"+listOfNames.firstEntry()); } }
Output: Pair of least Key :1=A
