E - the type of elements maintained by this setpublic class TreeSet<E> extends AbstractSet<E> implements NavigableSet<E>, Cloneable, Serializable
NavigableSet implementation based on a TreeMap.
The elements are ordered using their natural
ordering, or by a Comparator provided at set creation
time, depending on which constructor is used.
This implementation provides guaranteed log(n) time cost for the basic
operations (add, remove and contains).
Note that the ordering maintained by a set (whether or not an explicit
comparator is provided) must be consistent with equals if it is to
correctly implement the Set interface. (See Comparable
or Comparator for a precise definition of consistent with
equals.) This is so because the Set interface is defined in
terms of the equals operation, but a TreeSet instance
performs all element comparisons using its compareTo (or
compare) method, so two elements that are deemed equal by this method
are, from the standpoint of the set, equal. The behavior of a set
is well-defined even if its ordering is inconsistent with equals; it
just fails to obey the general contract of the Set interface.
Note that this implementation is not synchronized.
If multiple threads access a tree set concurrently, and at least one
of the threads modifies the set, it must be synchronized
externally. This is typically accomplished by synchronizing on some
object that naturally encapsulates the set.
If no such object exists, the set should be "wrapped" using the
Collections.synchronizedSortedSet
method. This is best done at creation time, to prevent accidental
unsynchronized access to the set:
SortedSet s = Collections.synchronizedSortedSet(new TreeSet(...));
The iterators returned by this class's iterator method are
fail-fast: if the set is modified at any time after the iterator is
created, in any way except through the iterator's own remove
method, the iterator will throw a ConcurrentModificationException.
Thus, in the face of concurrent modification, the iterator fails quickly
and cleanly, rather than risking arbitrary, non-deterministic behavior at
an undetermined time in the future.
Note that the fail-fast behavior of an iterator cannot be guaranteed
as it is, generally speaking, impossible to make any hard guarantees in the
presence of unsynchronized concurrent modification. Fail-fast iterators
throw ConcurrentModificationException on a best-effort basis.
Therefore, it would be wrong to write a program that depended on this
exception for its correctness: the fail-fast behavior of iterators
should be used only to detect bugs.
This class is a member of the Java Collections Framework.

Comparable interface.
Furthermore, all such elements must be mutually
comparable: e1.compareTo(e2) must not throw a
ClassCastException for any elements e1 and
e2 in the set. If the user attempts to add an element
to the set that violates this constraint (for example, the user
attempts to add a string element to a set whose elements are
integers), the add call will throw a

Spliterator over the elements in this

The Spliterator reports Spliterator.SIZED,

Spliterator.ORDERED. Overriding implementations should document
the reporting of additional characteristic values.
The spliterator's comparator (see
Spliterator.getComparator()) is null if
the tree set's comparator (see comparator()) is null.
Otherwise, the spliterator's comparator is the same as or imposes the
same total ordering as the tree set's comparator.
