Difference between TreeSet and SortedSet

[selvam kumar]

hello friends
what is the diff between treeset and sortedset?? ??

[Tim Moores]

TreeSet is a concrete class, whereas SortedSet is an interface (which happens to be implemented by TreeSet). Apart from that, their respective javadocs are quite different; what did you learn from studying those?

Please make an effort to do some research before posting to a forum. Then, if you're still confused, post more specific questions, referring back to the research you did as appropriate. You'll find this is a more productive and rewarding way to learn.

Please UseAMeaningfulSubjectLine. "java" doesn't describe the problem. Wouldn't "Difference between TreeSet and SortedSet" be much more describing?

And that's what I've turned it to.

NavigableSet is an interface that extends and replaces sortedset. TreeSet implements NavigableSet. Available since java SE 1.6

[Rob Spoor]

NavigableSet doesn't replace SortedSet, it adds to it. If you want to create a Set implementation that doesn't need any of the methods added by NavigableSet then SortedSet is still the interface to implement.

I wonder when TreeSet provides sorted set then why would we need SortedSet?

[Rob Spoor]

Because there might be other implementations, like ConcurrentSkipListSet.
