The java.util.Collections.unmodifiableNavigableMap() method returns an unmodifiable view of the specified navigable map.

Syntax

public static <K,V> NavigableMap<K,V> unmodifiableNavigableMap
                                    (NavigableMap<K,? extends V> m)

Here, K and V are the type of key and value respectively maintained by the navigable map.

Parameters

`m`	Specify the navigable map for which an unmodifiable view is to be returned.

Return Value

Returns an unmodifiable view of the specified navigable map.

Exception

NA.

Example:

In the example below, the java.util.Collections.unmodifiableNavigableMap() method returns an unmodifiable view of the given navigable map.

import java.util.*;

public class MyClass {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    //creating a NavigableMap object
    NavigableMap<Integer, String> MyMap = new TreeMap<Integer, String>();

    //populating MyMap
    MyMap.put(102, "John");
    MyMap.put(101, "Marry");
    MyMap.put(103, "Kim");

    //printing the map
    System.out.println("MyMap contains: " + MyMap); 

    //creating an unmodifiable view of the navigable map
    NavigableMap NewMap = Collections.unmodifiableNavigableMap(MyMap);

    //printing the unmodifiable navigable map
    System.out.println("NewMap contains: " + NewMap); 

    //trying to modify the NewMap
    NewMap.put(104, "Ramesh");    
  }
}

The output of the above code will be:

MyMap contains: {101=Marry, 102=John, 103=Kim}
NewMap contains: {101=Marry, 102=John, 103=Kim}
