Example

The following example shows the usage of java.util.TreeSet.descendingIterator() method.

package com.tutorialspoint;

import java.util.Iterator;
import java.util.TreeSet;

public class TreeSetDemo {
   public static void main(String[] args) {

      // creating a TreeSet 
      TreeSet <Integer>treeadd = new TreeSet<Integer>();

      // adding in the tree set
      treeadd.add(1);
      treeadd.add(13);
      treeadd.add(17);
      treeadd.add(2);

      // create descending iterator
      Iterator iterator;
      iterator = treeadd.descendingIterator();

      // displaying the Tree set data
      System.out.println("Tree set data in descending order: ");     
      
      while (iterator.hasNext()) {
         System.out.println(iterator.next() + " ");
      }
   }    
}

Let us compile and run the above program, this will produce the following result.

Tree set data in descending order: 
17 
13 
2 
1
