Method Detail

mapIterator

OrderedMapIterator<K,V> mapIterator()

Obtains an OrderedMapIterator over the map.

A ordered map iterator is an efficient way of iterating over maps in both directions.

Specified by:

mapIterator in interface IterableGet<K,V>

Returns:

a map iterator

firstKey

K firstKey()

Gets the first key currently in this map.

Returns:

the first key currently in this map

Throws:

java.util.NoSuchElementException - if this map is empty

lastKey

K lastKey()

Gets the last key currently in this map.

Returns:

the last key currently in this map

Throws:

java.util.NoSuchElementException - if this map is empty

nextKey

K nextKey(K key)

Gets the next key after the one specified.

Parameters:

key - the key to search for next from

Returns:

the next key, null if no match or at end

previousKey

K previousKey(K key)

Gets the previous key before the one specified.

Parameters:

key - the key to search for previous from

Returns:

the previous key, null if no match or at start
