public class NavigableMapDemo {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    NavigableMap<Integer, String> map = new TreeMap<Integer, String>();
    map.put(2, "two");
    map.put(1, "one");
    map.put(3, "three");
    System.out.println("Original map: " + map + "\n");

    Entry firstEntry = map.pollFirstEntry();
    System.out.println("First entry: " + firstEntry);
    System.out.println("After polling the first entry: " + map + "\n");

    Entry lastEntry = map.pollLastEntry();
    System.out.println("Last entry:" + lastEntry);
    System.out.println("After polling last entry:" + map);
