TreeSet Class last() method

• last() method is available in java.util package.
• last() method is used to return the largest element that exists in this TreeSet.
• last() method is a non-static method, it is accessible with the class object only and if we try to access the method with the class name then we will get an error.
• last() method may throw an exception at the time of returning the highest element in this TreeSet.
  NoSuchElementException: – This exception may throw when this TreeSet is "empty".

Syntax:

    public Element last();

Parameter(s):

• It does not accept any parameter.

Return value:

The return type of the method is Element, it retrieves greatest element in this TreeSet.

Example:

// Java program to demonstrate the example 
// of Element last() method of TreeSet 

import java.util.*;

public class LastOfTreeSet {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // Instantiates a TreeSet object
        TreeSet < String > tree_set = new TreeSet < String > ();

        // By using add() method is to add
        // the given object of this
        // TreeSet 
        tree_set.add("C");
        tree_set.add("C++");
        tree_set.add("JAVA");
        tree_set.add("PHP");
        tree_set.add("SFDC");

        // Display TreeSet
        System.out.println("TreeSet: " + tree_set);

        // By using last() method is to
        // return the last highest element
        // exists in this TreeSet
        Object last = tree_set.last();

        // Display Object
        System.out.println("tree_set.last(): " + last);
    }
}

Output

TreeSet: [C, C++, JAVA, PHP, SFDC]
tree_set.last(): SFDC
