22  * A {@link Map} that further provides a <em>total ordering</em> on its keys.
23  * The map is ordered according to the {@linkplain Comparable natural
24  * ordering} of its keys, or by a {@link Comparator} typically
25  * provided at sorted map creation time.  This order is reflected when
26  * iterating over the sorted map's collection views (returned by the
27  * {@code entrySet}, {@code keySet} and {@code values} methods).
28  * Several additional operations are provided to take advantage of the
29  * ordering.  (This interface is the map analogue of {@link SortedSet}.)
30  *
31  * <p>All keys inserted into a sorted map must implement the {@code Comparable}
32  * interface (or be accepted by the specified comparator).  Furthermore, all
33  * such keys must be <em>mutually comparable</em>: {@code k1.compareTo(k2)} (or
34  * {@code comparator.compare(k1, k2)}) must not throw a
35  * {@code ClassCastException} for any keys {@code k1} and {@code k2} in
36  * the sorted map.  Attempts to violate this restriction will cause the
37  * offending method or constructor invocation to throw a
38  * {@code ClassCastException}.
39  *
40  * <p>Note that the ordering maintained by a sorted map (whether or not an
41  * explicit comparator is provided) must be <em>consistent with equals</em> if
42  * the sorted map is to correctly implement the {@code Map} interface.  (See
43  * the {@code Comparable} interface or {@code Comparator} interface for a
44  * precise definition of <em>consistent with equals</em>.)  This is so because
45  * the {@code Map} interface is defined in terms of the {@code equals}
46  * operation, but a sorted map performs all key comparisons using its
47  * {@code compareTo} (or {@code compare}) method, so two keys that are
48  * deemed equal by this method are, from the standpoint of the sorted map,
49  * equal.  The behavior of a tree map <em>is</em> well-defined even if its
50  * ordering is inconsistent with equals; it just fails to obey the general
51  * contract of the {@code Map} interface.
52  *
53  * <p>All general-purpose sorted map implementation classes should provide four
54  * "standard" constructors. It is not possible to enforce this recommendation
55  * though as required constructors cannot be specified by interfaces. The
56  * expected "standard" constructors for all sorted map implementations are:
57  * <ol>
58  *   <li>A void (no arguments) constructor, which creates an empty sorted map
59  *   sorted according to the natural ordering of its keys.</li>
60  *   <li>A constructor with a single argument of type {@code Comparator}, which
61  *   creates an empty sorted map sorted according to the specified comparator.</li>
62  *   <li>A constructor with a single argument of type {@code Map}, which creates
63  *   a new map with the same key-value mappings as its argument, sorted
64  *   according to the keys' natural ordering.</li>
65  *   <li>A constructor with a single argument of type {@code SortedMap}, which
66  *   creates a new sorted map with the same key-value mappings and the same
67  *   ordering as the input sorted map.</li>
68  * </ol>
69  *
70  * <p><strong>Note</strong>: several methods return submaps with restricted key
71  * ranges. Such ranges are <em>half-open</em>, that is, they include their low
72  * endpoint but not their high endpoint (where applicable).  If you need a
73  * <em>closed range</em> (which includes both endpoints), and the key type
74  * allows for calculation of the successor of a given key, merely request
75  * the subrange from {@code lowEndpoint} to
76  * {@code successor(highEndpoint)}.  For example, suppose that {@code m}
77  * is a map whose keys are strings.  The following idiom obtains a view
78  * containing all of the key-value mappings in {@code m} whose keys are
79  * between {@code low} and {@code high}, inclusive:<pre>
80  *   SortedMap&lt;string, V&gt; sub = m.subMap(low, high+"\0");</pre>
81  *
82  * A similar technique can be used to generate an <em>open range</em>
83  * (which contains neither endpoint).  The following idiom obtains a
84  * view containing all of the key-value mappings in {@code m} whose keys
85  * are between {@code low} and {@code high}, exclusive:<pre>
86  *   SortedMap&lt;string, V&gt; sub = m.subMap(low+"\0", high);</pre>
87  *
