Remove Key-value mapping from TreeMap example

In this tutorial we are gonna see how to remove a Key-value mapping from TreeMap. We are using remove(Object key) method of TreeMap class to perform this remove.

import java.util.TreeMap;
 
public class Details {
 
  public static void main(String[] args) {
 
    // Create a TreeMap
    TreeMap<String, String> treemap = new TreeMap<String, String>();
 
    // Add key-value pairs to the TreeMap
    treemap.put("Key1","Item1");
    treemap.put("Key2","Item2");
    treemap.put("Key3","Item3");
    treemap.put("Key4","Item4");
    treemap.put("Key5","Item5");
 
    // TreeMap Elements Before remove
    System.out.println("Before: TreeMap contains: "+treemap);

    // Removing element which is mapped to Key3
    /* public V remove(Object key): Removes the mapping 
     * for this key from this TreeMap if present.
     */
    Object removedElement = treemap.remove("Key3");
    System.out.println("Removed Element: "+removedElement);
 
    // TreeMap Elements after remove
    System.out.println("After: TreeMap contains: "+treemap);
  }
}

Output:

Before: TreeMap contains: {Key1=Item1, Key2=Item2, Key3=Item3, Key4=Item4, Key5=Item5}
Removed Element: Item3
After: TreeMap contains: {Key1=Item1, Key2=Item2, Key4=Item4, Key5=Item5}
