The higher() method in NavigableSet returns the least element strictly greater than the given element i.e. 35 here −higher(35);The following is an example to implement the higher method in Java −Example Live Demoimport java.util.NavigableSet; import java.util.TreeSet; public class Demo { public static void main(String[] args) { NavigableSet set = new TreeSet(); set.add(10); set.add(25); set.add(40); set.add(55); set.add(70); set.add(85); set.add(100); System.out.println("Returned Value = " + set.higher(35)); } }OutputReturned Value = 40

Firstly, create a HashMap −HashMap hm = new HashMap();Add some elements to the HashMap −hm.put("Shirts", new Integer(700)); hm.put("Trousers", new Integer(600)); hm.put("Jeans", new Integer(1200)); hm.put("Android TV", new Integer(450)); hm.put("Air Purifiers", new Integer(300)); hm.put("Food Processors", new Integer(950));Now, sort the HashMap based on keys using TreeMap −Map sort = new TreeMap(hm); System.out.println("Sorted Map based on key = "+sort);The following is an example to sort HasMap based on keys −Example Live Demoimport java.util.*; public class Demo { public static void main(String args[]) { HashMap hm = new HashMap(); hm.put("Shirts", new ...

A wide area network accelerator (WAN accelerator) is a hardware component, a software, or an appliance executing in a virtualized environment that provides caching and optimization of WAN services. A WAN accelerator is also called a WAN optimizer or application accelerator.Working PrincipleA WAN accelerator provides services to speed up information flow between the end users for imparting better network experience. Its target is to reduce the data volume to be transmitted. So, it compresses data and uses data deduplication techniques. The accelerator caches duplicate data and sends references of them when they are needed multiple times instead of resending the ... Read More

A nested class in Java is of two types i.e. Static nested class and Inner class. An inner class is a non-static nested class. Inner class is a security mechanism in Java as it can be private while normal classes cannot.A program that demonstrates an inner class is given as follows:Example Live Demopublic class Class1 {    private int a = 7;    class Class2 {       void func() {          System.out.println("This is an inner class");          System.out.println("a = " + a);       }    }    public static void main(String ...
