public K higherKey(K key)

Example

In the following code shows how to use TreeMap.higherKey(K key) method.

/*from  ww  w .ja v  a  2s  . c o m*/
import java.util.TreeMap;

public class Main {
   public static void main(String[] args) {
      
      TreeMap<Integer, String>  treemap = new TreeMap<Integer, String> ();
      
      // populating tree map
      treemap.put(2, "two");
      treemap.put(1, "one");
      treemap.put(3, "three");
      treemap.put(6, "six");
      treemap.put(5, "from java2s.com");
      
      // getting higher key for key 4          
      System.out.println("Checking values of the map");
      System.out.println("Value is: "+ treemap.higherKey(3));
   }     
}

The code above generates the following result.
