The lastKey() method of SortedMap interface in Java is used to return the last or the greatest key currently in this map.
Syntax:
Java
Java
K lastKey()Where, K is the type of key maintained by this Set. Parameters: This function does not accepts any parameter. Return Value: It returns the last or the greatest key currently in this map Exception: It throws NoSuchElementException, if this map is empty. Below programs illustrate the above method: Program 1:
// A Java program to demonstrate
// working of SortedSet
import java.util.*;
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args)
{
// Create a TreeSet and inserting elements
SortedMap<Integer, String> mp = new TreeMap<>();
// Adding Element to SortedSet
mp.put(1, "One");
mp.put(2, "Two");
mp.put(3, "Three");
mp.put(4, "Four");
mp.put(5, "Five");
// Returning the last key from the map
System.out.print("Last Key in the map is : "
+ mp.lastKey());
}
}
Output:
Program 2:
Last Key in the map is : 5
// A Java program to demonstrate
// working of SortedSet
import java.util.*;
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args)
{
// Create a TreeSet and inserting elements
SortedMap<String, String> mp = new TreeMap<>();
// Adding Element to SortedSet
mp.put("One", "Geeks");
mp.put("Two", "For");
mp.put("Three", "Geeks");
mp.put("Four", "Code");
mp.put("Five", "It");
// Returning the last key from the map
System.out.print("Last Key in the map is : "
+ mp.lastKey());
}
}
