K - the type of map keys. The map is invariant on its key type, as it
    can accept key as a parameter (of containsKey for example) and return it in keys set.V - the type of map values. The map is covariant on its value type.public ImmutableNavigableMap<K,V> extends ImmutableSortedMap<K,V>
An interface that mimics the original NavigableMap but without exposing modification functions to Kotlin source codes.
Modifications are strictly forbidden after the map is created.
| Modifier and Type | Method and Description | 
|---|---|
| java.util.Map.Entry<K,V> | ceilingEntry(K key)Returns a key-value mapping associated with the least key
greater than or equal to the given key, or  nullif
there is no such key. | 
| K | ceilingKey(K key)Returns the least key greater than or equal to the given key,
or  nullif there is no such key. | 
| java.util.Map.Entry<K,V> | firstEntry()Returns a key-value mapping associated with the least
key in this map, or  nullif the map is empty. | 
| java.util.Map.Entry<K,V> | floorEntry(K key)Returns a key-value mapping associated with the greatest key
less than or equal to the given key, or  nullif there
is no such key. | 
| K | floorKey(K key)Returns the greatest key less than or equal to the given key,
or  nullif there is no such key. | 
| ImmutableNavigableMap<K,V> | getDescending()Returns a reverse order view of the mappings contained in this map.
The descending map is backed by this map, so changes to the map are
reflected in the descending map, and vice-versa.  If either map is
modified while an iteration over a collection view of either map
is in progress (except through the iterator's own  removeoperation), the results of the iteration are undefined. | 
| ImmutableNavigableSet<K> | getDescendingKeys()Returns a reverse order NavigableSet view of the keys contained in this map.
The set's iterator returns the keys in descending order.
The set is backed by the map, so changes to the map are reflected in
the set, and vice-versa.  If the map is modified while an iteration
over the set is in progress (except through the iterator's own  removeoperation), the results of the iteration are undefined.  The
set supports element removal, which removes the corresponding mapping
from the map, via theIterator.remove,Set.remove,removeAll,retainAll, andclearoperations.
It does not support theaddoraddAlloperations. | 
| ImmutableNavigableSet<K> | getNavigableKeys()Returns a NavigableSet view of the keys contained in this map.
The set's iterator returns the keys in ascending order.
The set is backed by the map, so changes to the map are reflected in
the set, and vice-versa.  If the map is modified while an iteration
over the set is in progress (except through the iterator's own  removeoperation), the results of the iteration are undefined.  The
set supports element removal, which removes the corresponding mapping
from the map, via theIterator.remove,Set.remove,removeAll,retainAll, andclearoperations.
It does not support theaddoraddAlloperations. | 
| ImmutableNavigableMap<K,V> | head(K toKey,
    boolean inclusive)Returns a view of the portion of this map whose keys are less than (or
equal to, if  inclusiveis true)toKey.  The returned
map is backed by this map, so changes in the returned map are reflected
in this map, and vice-versa.  The returned map supports all optional
map operations that this map supports. |

| java.util.Map.Entry<K,V> | higherEntry(K key)Returns a key-value mapping associated with the least key
strictly greater than the given key, or  nullif there
is no such key. | 
| K | higherKey(K key)Returns the least key strictly greater than the given key, or
 nullif there is no such key. | 
| java.util.Map.Entry<K,V> | lastEntry()Returns a key-value mapping associated with the greatest
key in this map, or  nullif the map is empty. | 
| java.util.Map.Entry<K,V> | lowerEntry(K key)Returns a key-value mapping associated with the greatest key
strictly less than the given key, or  nullif there is
no such key. | 
| K | lowerKey(K key)Returns the greatest key strictly less than the given key, or
 nullif there is no such key. | 
| java.util.Map.Entry<K,V> | pollFirstEntry()Removes and returns a key-value mapping associated with
the least key in this map, or  nullif the map is empty. | 
| java.util.Map.Entry<K,V> | pollLastEntry()Removes and returns a key-value mapping associated with
the greatest key in this map, or  nullif the map is empty. |

   boolean fromInclusive,
   K toKey,
   boolean toInclusive)Returns a view of the portion of this map whose keys range from
 fromKeytotoKey.  IffromKeyandtoKeyare equal, the returned map is empty unlessfromInclusiveandtoInclusiveare both true.  The
returned map is backed by this map, so changes in the returned map are
reflected in this map, and vice-versa.  The returned map supports all
optional map operations that this map supports. |

   K toKey)See ImmutableSortedMap.sub | 
| ImmutableNavigableMap<K,V> | tail(K fromKey,
    boolean inclusive)Returns a view of the portion of this map whose keys are greater than (or
