NavigableMap ceilingEntry() method in Java

Use the NavigableMap ceilingEntry() method to returna key-value mapping associated with the least key greater than or equal to the given key

The following is an example to implement ceilingEntry() method −

Example

 Live Demo

import java.util.*;
public class Demo {
   public static void main(String[] args) {
      NavigableMap<Integer, String> n = new TreeMap<Integer, String>();
      n.put(5, "Tom");
      n.put(9, "John");
      n.put(14, "Jamie");
      n.put(1, "Tim");
      n.put(4, "Jackie");
      n.put(15, "Kurt");
      n.put(19, "Tiger");
      n.put(24, "Jacob");
      System.out.println("NavigableMap elements...\n"+n);
      System.out.println("Ceiling Entry = " + n.ceilingEntry(11));
   }
}

Output

NavigableMap elements...
{1=Tim, 4=Jackie, 5=Tom, 9=John, 14=Jamie, 15=Kurt, 19=Tiger, 24=Jacob}
Ceiling Entry = 14=Jamie
