The Java Collections emptyNavigableMap() method is used to get a map with no elements. A Navigable map is a data structure that can hold elements with key-value pairs.
Syntax:
public static final <Key,Value> SortedMap<Key,Value> emptyNavigableMap()
where,
- key is the key element
- value is the value element
Parameters: This method will take no parameters.
Return Type: It will return an empty Navigable map that is immutable.
Example 1:
Java
// Java program to create an empty navigable map import java.util.*; public class GFG { // main method public static void main(String[] args) { // create an empty navigable map SortedMap<String, String> data = Collections.emptyNavigableMap(); // display System.out.println(data); } } |
{}
Example 2: In this program, we will create an empty navigable map and add elements to the map. This will return an error.
Java
// Java program to show the error while using // Collections emptyNavigableMap() Method import java.util.*; public class GFG { // main method public static void main(String[] args) { // create an empty navigable map SortedMap<String, String> data = Collections.emptyNavigableMap(); // add 3 elements data.put( "1" , "ojaswi" ); data.put( "2" , "ramya" ); data.put( "3" , "deepu" ); // display System.out.println(data); } } |
Output:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException at java.util.Collections$UnmodifiableMap.put(Collections.java:1459) at GFG.main(GFG.java:10)
Example 3:
Java
// Java program to show the error while using // Collections emptyNavigableMap() Method import java.util.*; public class GFG { // main method public static void main(String[] args) { // create an empty navigable map SortedMap<Integer, Integer> data = Collections.emptyNavigableMap(); // add 3 elements data.put( 1 , 34 ); data.put( 2 , 45 ); data.put( 3 , 56 ); // display System.out.println(data); } } |
Output:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException at java.util.Collections$UnmodifiableMap.put(Collections.java:1459) at GFG.main(GFG.java:10)
