| /** |
| * A {@link SortedSet} extended with navigation methods reporting |
| * closest matches for given search targets. Methods {@link #lower}, |
| * {@link #floor}, {@link #ceiling}, and {@link #higher} return elements |
| * respectively less than, less than or equal, greater than or equal, |
| * and greater than a given element, returning {@code null} if there |
| * is no such element. |
| * |
| * <p>A {@code NavigableSet} may be accessed and traversed in either |
| * ascending or descending order. The {@link #descendingSet} method |
| * returns a view of the set with the senses of all relational and |
| * directional methods inverted. The performance of ascending |
| * operations and views is likely to be faster than that of descending |
| * ones. This interface additionally defines methods {@link |
| * #pollFirst} and {@link #pollLast} that return and remove the lowest |
| * and highest element, if one exists, else returning {@code null}. |
| * Methods |
| * {@link #subSet(Object, boolean, Object, boolean) subSet(E, boolean, E, boolean)}, |
| * {@link #headSet(Object, boolean) headSet(E, boolean)}, and |
| * {@link #tailSet(Object, boolean) tailSet(E, boolean)} |
| * differ from the like-named {@code SortedSet} methods in accepting |
| * additional arguments describing whether lower and upper bounds are |
| * inclusive versus exclusive. Subsets of any {@code NavigableSet} |
| * must implement the {@code NavigableSet} interface. |
| * |
| * <p>The return values of navigation methods may be ambiguous in |
| * implementations that permit {@code null} elements. However, even |
| * in this case the result can be disambiguated by checking |
| * {@code contains(null)}. To avoid such issues, implementations of |
| * this interface are encouraged to <em>not</em> permit insertion of |
| * {@code null} elements. (Note that sorted sets of {@link |
| * Comparable} elements intrinsically do not permit {@code null}.) |
| * |
| * <p>Methods |
| * {@link #subSet(Object, Object) subSet(E, E)}, |
| * {@link #headSet(Object) headSet(E)}, and |
| * {@link #tailSet(Object) tailSet(E)} |
| * are specified to return {@code SortedSet} to allow existing |
| * implementations of {@code SortedSet} to be compatibly retrofitted to |
| * implement {@code NavigableSet}, but extensions and implementations |
| * of this interface are encouraged to override these methods to return |
| * {@code NavigableSet}. |
