* A {@link SortedSet} extended with navigation methods reporting |
| 11 |
< |
* closest matches for given search targets. Methods <tt>lower</tt>, |
| 12 |
< |
* <tt>floor</tt>, <tt>ceiling</tt>, and <tt>higher</tt> return elements |
| 11 |
> |
* closest matches for given search targets. Methods <tt>lower}, |
| 12 |
> |
* {@code floor}, {@code ceiling}, and {@code higher} return elements |
| 13 |
|
* respectively less than, less than or equal, greater than or equal, |
| 14 |
< |
* and greater than a given element, returning <tt>null</tt> if there is |
| 15 |
< |
* no such element. A <tt>NavigableSet</tt> may be viewed and traversed |
| 16 |
< |
* in either ascending or descending order. The <tt>Collection</tt> |
| 17 |
< |
* <tt>iterator</tt> method returns an ascending <tt>Iterator</tt> and |
| 18 |
< |
* the additional method <tt>descendingIterator</tt> returns a |
| 19 |
< |
* descending iterator. The performance of ascending traversals is |
| 20 |
< |
* likely to be faster than descending traversals. This interface |
| 21 |
< |
* additionally defines methods <tt>pollFirst</tt> and |
| 22 |
< |
* <tt>pollLast</tt> that return and remove the lowest and highest |
| 23 |
< |
* element, if one exists, else returning <tt>null</tt>. |
| 24 |
< |
* Methods <tt>navigableSubSet</tt>, <tt>navigableHeadSet</tt>, and |
| 25 |
< |
* <tt>navigableTailSet</tt> differ from the similarly named |
| 26 |
< |
* <tt>SortedSet</tt> methods only in their declared return types. |
| 27 |
< |
* Subsets of any <tt>NavigableSet</tt> must implement the |
| 28 |
< |
* <tt>NavigableSet</tt> interface. |
| 14 |

* and greater than a given element, returning {@code null} if there |
| 15 |
> |
* is no such element. A {@code NavigableSet} may be accessed and |
| 16 |
> |
* traversed in either ascending or descending order. The {@code |
| 17 |
> |
* descendingSet} method returns a view of the set with the senses of |
| 18 |
> |
* all relational and directional methods inverted. The performance of |
| 19 |
> |
* ascending operations and views is likely to be faster than that of |
| 20 |
> |
* descending ones. This interface additionally defines methods |
| 21 |
> |
* {@code pollFirst} and {@code pollLast} that return and remove the |
| 22 |
> |
* lowest and highest element, if one exists, else returning {@code |
| 23 |
> |
* null}. Methods {@code navigableSubSet}, {@code navigableHeadSet}, |
| 24 |
> |
* and {@code navigableTailSet} differ from the similarly named {@code |
| 25 |
> |
* SortedSet} methods in accepting additional arguments describing |
| 26 |

* whether lower and upper bounds are inclusive versus exclusive. |
| 27 |

|
* <p> The return values of navigation methods may be ambiguous in |
| 31 |
< |
* implementations that permit <tt>null</tt> elements. However, even |
| 31 |
> |
* implementations that permit {@code null} elements. However, even |
| 32 |
|
* in this case the result can be disambiguated by checking |
| 33 |
< |
* <tt>contains(null)</tt>. To avoid such issues, implementations of |
| 33 |
> |
* {@code contains(null)}. To avoid such issues, implementations of |
| 34 |
|
* this interface are encouraged to <em>not</em> permit insertion of |
| 35 |
< |
* <tt>null</tt> elements. (Note that sorted sets of {@link |
