Java Collection, TreeMap Exercises: Get a key-value mapping associated with the greatest key and the least key in a map

Java Collection, TreeMap Exercises: Exercise-8 with Solution

Write a Java program to get a key-value mapping associated with the greatest key and the least key in a map.

Sample Solution:-

Java Code:

import java.util.*;
import java.util.Map.Entry;  
public class Example8 {  
     public static void main(String args[]) {

  // Create a tree map
  TreeMap <String,String> tree_map1 = new TreeMap <String,String> ();

  // Put elements to the map 
  tree_map1.put("C1", "Red");
  tree_map1.put("C2", "Green");
  tree_map1.put("C3", "Black");
  tree_map1.put("C4", "White");

  System.out.println("Orginal TreeMap content: " + tree_map1);
  System.out.println("Greatest key: " + tree_map1.firstEntry());
  System.out.println("Least key: " + tree_map1.lastEntry());
 }
}

Sample Output:

Orginal TreeMap content: {C1=Red, C2=Green, C3=Black, C4=White}        
Greatest key: C1=Red                                                   
Least key: C4=White

getEnumMap

Converts to enum to Map where key is the name and value is Enum itself. 

public static <E extends Enum<E>> Map<String, E> getEnumMap(final Class<E> enumClass) {
    return Arrays.stream(enumClass.getEnumConstants())
            .collect(Collectors.toMap(Enum::name, Function.identity()));
}
