0N/A/**
0N/A * A {@link SortedSet} extended with navigation methods reporting
0N/A * closest matches for given search targets. Methods {@code lower},
0N/A * {@code floor}, {@code ceiling}, and {@code higher} return elements
0N/A * respectively less than, less than or equal, greater than or equal,
0N/A * and greater than a given element, returning {@code null} if there
0N/A * is no such element. A {@code NavigableSet} may be accessed and
0N/A * traversed in either ascending or descending order. The {@code
0N/A * descendingSet} method returns a view of the set with the senses of
0N/A * all relational and directional methods inverted. The performance of
0N/A * ascending operations and views is likely to be faster than that of
0N/A * descending ones. This interface additionally defines methods
0N/A * {@code pollFirst} and {@code pollLast} that return and remove the
0N/A * lowest and highest element, if one exists, else returning {@code
0N/A * null}. Methods {@code subSet}, {@code headSet},
0N/A * and {@code tailSet} differ from the like-named {@code
0N/A * SortedSet} methods in accepting additional arguments describing
0N/A * whether lower and upper bounds are inclusive versus exclusive.
0N/A * Subsets of any {@code NavigableSet} must implement the {@code
0N/A * NavigableSet} interface.
0N/A *
0N/A * <p> The return values of navigation methods may be ambiguous in
0N/A * implementations that permit {@code null} elements. However, even
0N/A * in this case the result can be disambiguated by checking
0N/A * {@code contains(null)}. To avoid such issues, implementations of
0N/A * this interface are encouraged to <em>not</em> permit insertion of
0N/A * {@code null} elements. (Note that sorted sets of {@link
0N/A * Comparable} elements intrinsically do not permit {@code null}.)
0N/A *
0N/A * <p>Methods
0N/A * {@link #subSet(Object, Object) subSet(E, E)},
0N/A * {@link #headSet(Object) headSet(E)}, and
0N/A * {@link #tailSet(Object) tailSet(E)}
0N/A * are specified to return {@code SortedSet} to allow existing
0N/A * implementations of {@code SortedSet} to be compatibly retrofitted to
0N/A * implement {@code NavigableSet}, but extensions and implementations
0N/A * of this interface are encouraged to override these methods to return
0N/A * {@code NavigableSet}.
