Declaration

Following is the declaration for java.util.TreeSet.spliterator() method.

public Splspliterator<E> splspliterator()

Parameters

NA

Return Value

The method call returns an Spliterator over the elements in this set.

Exception

NA

Getting Spliterator of a TreeSet of Integer Example

The following example shows the usage of Java TreeSet spliterator() method to get a spliterator of elements of the treeset. We've created a TreeSet object of Integer. Few entries are added using add() method and spliterator is retrieved using spliterator() method and then spliterator is iterated to print the elements.

package com.tutorialspoint;

import java.util.Spliterator;
import java.util.TreeSet;

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

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

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

      // create ascending spliterator
      Spliterator<Integer> spliterator = treeset.spliterator();

      // displaying the Tree set data
      System.out.println("Tree set data: ");     
      spliterator.forEachRemaining( i -> System.out.println(i));
   }     
}

Output

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

Tree set data: 
1 
2 
13 
17 

Getting Spliterator of a TreeSet of String Example

The following example shows the usage of Java TreeSet spliterator() method to get a spliterator of elements of the treeset. We've created a TreeSet object of String. Few entries are added using add() method and spliterator is retrieved using spliterator() method and then spliterator is iterated to print the elements.

      // creating a TreeSet 
      TreeSet<String> treeset = new TreeSet<>();

      // adding in the tree set
      treeset.add("D");
      treeset.add("B");
      treeset.add("C");
      treeset.add("A");

      // create ascending spliterator
      Spliterator<String> spliterator = treeset.spliterator();

      // displaying the Tree set data
      System.out.println("Tree set data: ");     
      spliterator.forEachRemaining( i -> System.out.println(i));
   }     
}

Output

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

Tree set data in ascending order: 
A
B
C
D

Getting Spliterator of a TreeSet of Object Example

The following example shows the usage of Java TreeSet spliterator() method to get a spliterator of elements of the treeset. We've created a TreeSet object of Student. Few entries are added using add() method and spliterator is retrieved using spliterator() method and then spliterator is iterated to print the elements.

package com.tutorialspoint;

import java.util.Spliterator;
import java.util.TreeSet;

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

      // creating a TreeSet 
      TreeSet<Student>treeset = new TreeSet<>();

      // adding in the tree set
      treeset.add(new Student(2, "Julie"));
      treeset.add(new Student(1, "Robert"));
      treeset.add(new Student(3, "Adam"));
      treeset.add(new Student(4, "Julia"));

      // create ascending spliterator
      Spliterator<Student> spliterator = treeset.spliterator();

      // displaying the Tree set data
      System.out.println("Tree set data: ");     
      spliterator.forEachRemaining( i -> System.out.println(i));
   }     
}
class Student implements Comparable<Student> {
   int rollNo;
   String name;

   Student(int rollNo, String name){
      this.rollNo = rollNo;
      this.name = name;
   }

   @Override
   public String toString() {
      return "[ " + this.rollNo + ", " + this.name + " ]";
   }
   
   @Override
   public boolean equals(Object obj) {
      Student s = (Student)obj;
      return this.rollNo == s.rollNo && this.name.equalsIgnoreCase(s.name);
   }

   @Override
   public int compareTo(Student student) {
      return this.rollNo - student.rollNo;
   }
}

Output

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

Tree set data: 
[ 1, Robert ] 
[ 2, Julie ] 
[ 3, Adam ] 
[ 4, Julia ]
