The pollLast() method of Java.util.concurrent.TreeSet is an in-built function in Java which returns retrieves and removes the last (highest) element, or returns null if this set is empty.
Syntax:

Java
public E pollLast()Return Value: The function returns retrieves and removes the last (highest) element, or returns null if this set is empty. Below programs illustrate the TreeSet.pollLast() method: Program 1:
// Java program to demonstrate pollLast()
// method of TreeSet
import java.util.*;
class TreeSetpollLastExample1 {
public static void main(String[] args)
{
// Creating a set object
TreeSet<Integer> set
= new TreeSet<Integer>();
// Adding elements to this set
for (int i = 10; i <= 50; i += 10)
set.add(i);
// Printing the content of the set
System.out.println("Contents of the set: " + set);
// Retrieving and removing Last element of the set
System.out.println("The Last element of the set: "
+ set.pollLast());
// Printing the content of the set after pollLast()
System.out.println("Contents of the set after pollLast: "
+ set);
}
}
Output:
Program 2:
Contents of the set: [10, 20, 30, 40, 50] The Last element of the set: 50 Contents of the set after pollLast: [10, 20, 30, 40]
// Java program to demonstrate pollLast()
// method of TreeSet
import java.util.*;
class TreeSetpollLastExample2 {
public static void main(String[] args)
{
// Creating a set object
TreeSet<Integer> set
= new TreeSet<Integer>();
// Printing the content of the set
System.out.println("Contents of the set: "
+ set);
// Retrieving and removing Last element of the set
System.out.println("The Last element of the set: "
+ set.pollLast());
}
}
Output:
Contents of the set: [] The Last element of the set: null
