@ohos.util.TreeMap (Nonlinear Container TreeMap)

TreeMap stores key-value (KV) pairs. Each key must be unique and have only one value.

TreeMap is implemented using a red-black tree, which is a binary search tree where keys are stored in sorted order for efficient insertion and removal.

HashMap is faster in accessing data than TreeMap, because the former accesses data based on the hash code of the key, whereas the latter stores and accesses the keys in sorted order.

Recommended use case: Use TreeMap when you need to store KV pairs in sorted order.

This topic uses the following to identify the use of generics:

  • K: Key

  • V: Value

NOTE

The initial APIs of this module are supported since API version 8. Newly added APIs will be marked with a superscript to indicate their earliest API version.

Modules to Import

import TreeMap from '@ohos.util.TreeMap';

TreeMap

Attributes

System capability: SystemCapability.Utils.Lang

Name Type Readable Writable Description
length number Yes No Number of elements in a tree map (called container later).

constructor

constructor(comparator?:(firstValue: K, secondValue: K) => boolean)

A constructor used to create a TreeMap instance. It supports sorting elements in ascending or descending order by using comparators.

System capability: SystemCapability.Utils.Lang

Parameters

Name Type Mandatory Description
comparator function No Custom comparator, which can be used to sort elements based on the comparison relationship. The default value is hole (a blank placeholder), indicating that no comparator is provided.

Error codes

For details about the error codes, see Utils Error Codes.

ID Error Message
10200012 The TreeMap's constructor cannot be directly invoked.

Example

// Constructor.
let treeMap : TreeMap<number, number> = new TreeMap();
// Use the comparator firstValue < secondValue if the elements are expected to be sorted in ascending order. Use firstValue > secondValue if the elements are expected to be sorted in descending order.
let treeMap : TreeMap<string,string> = new TreeMap<string,string>((firstValue: string, secondValue: string) : boolean => {return firstValue > secondValue});
treeMap.set("aa","3");
treeMap.set("dd","1");
treeMap.set("cc","2");
treeMap.set("bb","4");
let numbers = Array.from(treeMap.keys())
for (let item of numbers) {
  console.log("treeMap:" + item);
}
// When a custom type is inserted, a comparator must be provided.
 class TestEntry{
   public id: number = 0;
 }
 let ts1: TreeMap<TestEntry, string> = new TreeMap<TestEntry, string>((t1: TestEntry, t2: TestEntry): boolean => {return t1.id < t2.id;});
 let entry1: TestEntry = {
