NavigableMap pollLastEntry() method in Java
The pollLastEntry() method of NavigableMap interface in Java is used to remove and return a key-value mapping associated with the greatest key in this map, or null if the map is empty.
Syntax:
Map.Entry< K, V > pollLastEntry()
Where, K is the type of key maintained by this map and V is the type of values mapped to the keys.
Parameters: This function does not accepts any parameter.
Return Value: It returns a key-value mapping associated with the greatest key in this map, or null if the map is empty.
Below programs illustrate the pollLastEntry() method in Java:
Program 1: When the key is integer.
// Java code to demonstrate the working of// pollLastEntry() method import java.io.*;import java.util.*; public class GFG { public static void main(String[] args) { // Declaring the NavigableMap of Integer and String NavigableMap<Integer, String> nmmp = new TreeMap<>(); // assigning the values in the NavigableMap // using put() nmmp.put(2, "two"); nmmp.put(7, "seven"); nmmp.put(3, "three"); System.out.println("Removed key-value associated with"+ " greatest key : " + nmmp.pollLastEntry()); }} |
Output:
Removed key-value associated with greatest key : 7=seven
Program 2: When the key is string.
// Java code to demonstrate the working of// pollLastEntry() method import java.io.*;import java.util.*; public class GFG { public static void main(String[] args) { // Declaring the NavigableMap of Integer and String NavigableMap<String, String> tmmp = new TreeMap<>(); // assigning the values in the NavigableMap // using put() tmmp.put("one", "two"); tmmp.put("six", "seven"); tmmp.put("two", "three"); System.out.println("Removed key-value associated with"+ " greatest the key : " + tmmp.pollLastEntry()); }} |
Output:
Removed key-value associated with greatest the key : two=three
