mapIterator
OrderedMapIterator<K,V> mapIterator()
Obtains anOrderedMapIteratorover the map.A ordered map iterator is an efficient way of iterating over maps in both directions.
- Specified by:
 mapIteratorin interfaceIterableMap<K,V>- Returns:
 - a map iterator
 
 
- 
firstKey
K firstKey()
Gets the first key currently in this map.- Returns:
 - the first key currently in this map
 - Throws:
 NoSuchElementException- if this map is empty
 
- 
lastKey
K lastKey()
Gets the last key currently in this map.- Returns:
 - the last key currently in this map
 - Throws:
 NoSuchElementException- if this map is empty
 
- 
nextKey
K nextKey(K key)
Gets the next key after the one specified.- Parameters:
 key- the key to search for next from- Returns:
 - the next key, null if no match or at end
