K - the type of keys maintained by this mapV - the type of mapped valuespublic class TreeMap<K,V> extends AbstractMap<K,V> implements NavigableMap<K,V>, Cloneable, Serializable
NavigableMap implementation.
 The map is sorted according to the natural
 ordering of its keys, or by a Comparator provided at map
 creation time, depending on which constructor is used.
 This implementation provides guaranteed log(n) time cost for the
 containsKey, get, put and remove
 operations.  Algorithms are adaptations of those in Cormen, Leiserson, and
 Rivest's Introduction to Algorithms.
 
Note that the ordering maintained by a tree map, like any sorted map, and
 whether or not an explicit comparator is provided, must be consistent
 with equals if this sorted map is to correctly implement the
 Map interface.  (See Comparable or Comparator for a
 precise definition of consistent with equals.)  This is so because
 the Map interface is defined in terms of the equals
 operation, but a sorted map performs all key comparisons using its compareTo (or compare) method, so two keys that are deemed equal by
 this method are, from the standpoint of the sorted map, equal.  The behavior
 of a sorted map is well-defined even if its ordering is
 inconsistent with equals; it just fails to obey the general contract
 of the Map interface.
 
Note that this implementation is not synchronized.
 If multiple threads access a map concurrently, and at least one of the
 threads modifies the map structurally, it must be synchronized
 externally.  (A structural modification is any operation that adds or
 deletes one or more mappings; merely changing the value associated
 with an existing key is not a structural modification.)  This is
 typically accomplished by synchronizing on some object that naturally
 encapsulates the map.
 If no such object exists, the map should be "wrapped" using the
 Collections.synchronizedSortedMap
 method.  This is best done at creation time, to prevent accidental
 unsynchronized access to the map: 
SortedMap m = Collections.synchronizedSortedMap(new TreeMap(...));
The iterators returned by the iterator method of the collections
 returned by all of this class's "collection view methods" are
 fail-fast: if the map is structurally modified at any time after
 the iterator is created, in any way except through the iterator's own
 remove method, the iterator will throw a ConcurrentModificationException.  Thus, in the face of concurrent
 modification, the iterator fails quickly and cleanly, rather than risking
 arbitrary, non-deterministic behavior at an undetermined time in the future.
 
Note that the fail-fast behavior of an iterator cannot be guaranteed
 as it is, generally speaking, impossible to make any hard guarantees in the
 presence of unsynchronized concurrent modification.  Fail-fast iterators
 throw ConcurrentModificationException on a best-effort basis.
 Therefore, it would be wrong to write a program that depended on this
 exception for its correctness:   the fail-fast behavior of iterators
 should be used only to detect bugs.
 
All Map.Entry pairs returned by methods in this class
 and its views represent snapshots of mappings at the time they were
 produced. They do not support the Entry.setValue
 method. (Note however that it is possible to change mappings in the
 associated map using put.)
 
This class is a member of the Java Collections Framework.

 a ClassCastException for any keys k1 and
 k2 in the map.  If the user attempts to put a key into the

true if this map maps one or more keys to the
 specified value.  More formally, returns true if and only if
 this map contains at least one mapping to a value v such
 that (value==null ? v==null : value.equals(v)).  This
 operation will probably require time linear in the map size for
 most implementations.containsValue in interface Map<K,V>containsValue in class AbstractMap<K,V>value - value whose presence in this map is to be testedtrue if a mapping to value exists;

null if this map contains no mapping for the key.
 More formally, if this map contains a mapping from a key
 k to a value v such that key compares
 equal to k according to the map's ordering, then this
 method returns v; otherwise it returns null.
 (There can be at most one such mapping.)
 
A return value of null does not necessarily
 indicate that the map contains no mapping for the key; it's also
 possible that the map explicitly maps the key to null.
 The containsKey operation may be used to
 distinguish these two cases.
