Map is a collection that stores its elements as key-value pairs, like a dictionary. SortedMap is a special type of map in which elements are sorted in ascending order.

SortedMap find() Method

The find() method on SortedMap is used to find the first element from the map that satisfies the given condition in the parameter of the method.

Syntax:

sortedmap_Name.find(condition)

Parameter: The method accepts a condition.

Return: It returns an element that satisfies the given condition.

Example: Program to illustrate the working of find() method

import scala.collection.SortedMap

object MyClass {
    def main(args: Array[String]) {
        val mySortedMap = SortedMap("scala" -> 5, "JavaScript" -> 6, "Ruby" -> 8)
        println("Sorted Map: " + mySortedMap)
    
        val isPresentEle1 = mySortedMap.find(ele => ele._2 == 5)
        println("Element with value 4 present " + isPresentEle1)
    
        val isPresentEle2 = mySortedMap.find(ele => ele._2 == 3)
        println("Element with value 3 present " + isPresentEle2)
    }
}

Output:

Sorted Map: TreeMap(JavaScript -> 6, Ruby -> 8, scala -> 5)
Element with value 4 present Some((scala,5))
Element with value 3 present None
