How to add element in TreeMap by use of TreeMap put() method

1. put(K key, V value) method

This method is used to set the value with the corresponding key in TreeMap. If the TreeMap already contained the key, then the old value is replaced by a new Value.

put(K key, V value):

Where K is the key with which the specified value(V) is to be associated with TreeMap.
V is the value to be associated with the specified key(K) in TreeMap.
return NULL, if there was no mapping for key. It returns the previous value if the associated key already present.

import java.util.TreeMap;

public class TreeMapExample
{
   public static void main(String args[])
   {
	   TreeMap<Integer, String> dataTreeMap = new TreeMap<Integer, String>();
		dataTreeMap.put(1, "JavaGoal");
		dataTreeMap.put(5, "Hi");
		dataTreeMap.put(2, "Learning");
		dataTreeMap.put(4, "Hello");
		dataTreeMap.put(3, "Website");
		
		// Adding element again with same key, So it replace the old value
		System.out.println("Previous value = "+ dataTreeMap.put(1, "JavaGoal.com"));
		
		System.out.println("All objects from TreeMap: "+ dataTreeMap);
   }
}

Output: Previous value = JavaGoal
All objects from TreeMap: {1=JavaGoal.com, 2=Learning, 3=Website, 4=Hello, 5=Hi}

2. putAll(Map map) method

This method is used to copy all elements of the specified map in current TreeMap. It copies all the mapping(Key and value pairs) of the specified Map to the current TreeMap

putAll(Map map)

Where the map is a specified Map which you want to copy.
return Void, it doesn’t return anything.

import java.util.TreeMap;

public class TreeMapExample
{
   public static void main(String args[])
   {
	   TreeMap<Integer, String> dataTreeMap = new TreeMap<Integer, String>();
	   dataTreeMap.put(1, "JavaGoal");
	   dataTreeMap.put(5, "Hi");
	   dataTreeMap.put(2, "Learning");
	   dataTreeMap.put(4, "Hello");
	   dataTreeMap.put(3, "Website");
		
	   TreeMap<Integer, String> treeMap = new TreeMap<Integer, String>(dataTreeMap);
	   System.out.println("All objects from TreeMap: "+ treeMap);
   }
}

Output: All objects from TreeMap: {1=JavaGoal, 2=Learning, 3=Website, 4=Hello, 5=Hi}

How to check given key exists by treemap containsKey() method

3. containsKey(Object key) method

This method is used to check whether the specified key exists in TreeMap or not. It returns type is boolean.
If the given key exists in TreeMap, then it returns true otherwise false.

containsKey(Object key)

Where, Key is the key with which the specified value(V) is to be associated in TreeMap.
return type:  Its return type is boolean. It can return either true or false.

import java.util.TreeMap;

public class TreeMapExample
{
   public static void main(String args[])
   {
	   TreeMap<Integer, String> dataTreeMap = new TreeMap<Integer, String>();
	   dataTreeMap.put(1, "JavaGoal");
	   dataTreeMap.put(5, "Hi");
	   dataTreeMap.put(2, "Learning");
	   dataTreeMap.put(4, "Hello");
	   dataTreeMap.put(3, "Website");
	   
	   System.out.println("Is key exists: "+dataTreeMap.containsKey(3));
	   System.out.println("Is key exists: "+dataTreeMap.containsKey(6));
   }
}

Output: Is key exists: true
Is key exists: false

How to check given value exists by treemap containsValue() method

4. containsValue(Object value) method

This method is used to check whether the specified Value exists in TreeMap or not. It returns type is boolean. If the given value exists in TreeMap, then it returns true otherwise false.

containsValue(Object value)

Where Value is the value that you want to check in TreeMap.
return type:  Its return type is boolean. It can return either true or false.

import java.util.TreeMap;

public class TreeMapExample
{
   public static void main(String args[])
   {
	   TreeMap<Integer, String> dataTreeMap = new TreeMap<Integer, String>();
	   dataTreeMap.put(1, "JavaGoal");
	   dataTreeMap.put(5, "Hi");
	   dataTreeMap.put(2, "Learning");
	   dataTreeMap.put(4, "Hello");
	   dataTreeMap.put(3, "Website");
	   
	   System.out.println("Is Value exists: "+dataTreeMap.containsValue("Hello"));
	   System.out.println("Is Value exists: "+dataTreeMap.containsValue("Bye"));
   }
}

Output: Is Value exists: true
Is Value exists: false

How to replace in Treemap by use of treemap replace() method

5. replace(K key, V value) method

This method is used to replace the entry for the specified key only if it is currently mapped to some value.

V replace(K key, V value)

Where, Key is the key with which the specified value(V) is to be associated in TreeMap.
Value is the value to be associated with the specified key(K) in TreeMap.

import java.util.TreeMap;

	   dataTreeMap.replace(2, "Learning Website");
	   System.out.println("From key 2: "+ dataTreeMap.get(2));
   }
}

Output: From key 2: Learning Website

6. replace(K key, V oldValue, V newValue) method

This method is used to replace the entry for the specified key only if it is currently mapped to some value. If oldValue doesn’t match with the associated key then it does not replace the value. Its return type is boolean.

replace(K key, V oldValue, V newValue)

Where, Key is the key with which the specified value(V) is to be associated in TreeMap.
oldValue is the value to be associated with the specified key(K) in TreeMap.

	   dataTreeMap.put(4, "Hello");
	   dataTreeMap.put(3, "Website");
	   
	   // It return the Key having least Key of TreeMap
	   System.out.println("Least Key of TreeMap: "+dataTreeMap.firstKey());

   }
}

Output: Least Key of TreeMap: 1

26. lastKey() method

It returns the key from TreeMap which has the greatest value(Key having highest value). It returns null if TreeMap is empty.

import java.util.TreeMap;

public class TreeMapExample
{
   public static void main(String args[])
   {
	   TreeMap<Integer, String> dataTreeMap = new TreeMap<Integer, String>();
	   dataTreeMap.put(1, "JavaGoal");
	   dataTreeMap.put(5, "Hi");
	   dataTreeMap.put(2, "Learning");
	   dataTreeMap.put(4, "Hello");
	   dataTreeMap.put(3, "Website");
	   
	   // It return the Key having greatest Key of TreeMap
	   System.out.println("greatest Key of TreeMap: "+dataTreeMap.lastKey());

   }
}

Output: greatest Key of TreeMap: 5

27. higherKey(K key) method

It returns the key whose key strictly greater than the given key, or null if there is no such key.
throws ClassCastException,  if specified key toKey is incompatible for TreeMap.
NullPointerException, if toKey is null and TreeMap uses natural ordering, or its comparator does not permit null keys. It returns null if TreeMap is empty.

K higherKey(K key)
import java.util.TreeMap;

public class TreeMapExample
{
   public static void main(String args[])
   {
	   TreeMap<Integer, String> dataTreeMap = new TreeMap<Integer, String>();
	   dataTreeMap.put(1, "JavaGoal");
	   dataTreeMap.put(5, "Hi");
	   dataTreeMap.put(2, "Learning");
	   dataTreeMap.put(4, "Hello");
	   dataTreeMap.put(3, "Website");
	   
	   System.out.println("Key strictly greater than the given key: "+dataTreeMap.higherKey(3));

   }
}

Output: Key strictly greater than the given key: 4

28. lowerKey(K key) method

It returns the key whose key strictly less than the given key, or null if there is no such key.
throws ClassCastException,  if specified key toKey is incompatible for TreeMap.
NullPointerException, if toKey is null and TreeMap uses natural ordering, or its comparator does not permit null keys. It returns null if TreeMap is empty.

K lowerKey(K key)
import java.util.TreeMap;

public class TreeMapExample
{
   public static void main(String args[])
   {
	   TreeMap<Integer, String> dataTreeMap = new TreeMap<Integer, String>();
	   dataTreeMap.put(1, "JavaGoal");
	   dataTreeMap.put(5, "Hi");
	   dataTreeMap.put(2, "Learning");
	   dataTreeMap.put(4, "Hello");
	   dataTreeMap.put(3, "Website");
	   
	   System.out.println("Key strictly less than the given key: "+dataTreeMap.lowerKey(3));

   }
}

Output: Key strictly less than the given key: 2
