public class TreeSet<E>
extends java.util.AbstractSet<E>
implements NavigableSet<E>, java.lang.Cloneable, java.io.Serializable
```
A NavigableSet implementation based on a TreeMap. The elements are ordered using their natural ordering, or by a Comparator provided at set creation time, depending on which constructor is used.
This implementation provides guaranteed log(n) time cost for the basic operations (add, remove and contains).
Note that the ordering maintained by a set (whether or not an explicit comparator is provided) must be consistent with equals if it is to correctly implement the Set interface. (See Comparable or Comparator for a precise definition of consistent with equals.) This is so because the Set interface is defined in terms of the equals operation, but a TreeSet instance performs all element comparisons using its compareTo (or compare) method, so two elements that are deemed equal by this method are, from the standpoint of the set, equal. The behavior of a set is well-defined even if its ordering is inconsistent with equals; it just fails to obey the general contract of the Set interface.
Note that this implementation is not synchronized. If multiple threads access a tree set concurrently, and at least one of the threads modifies the set, it must be synchronized externally. This is typically accomplished by synchronizing on some object that naturally encapsulates the set. If no such object exists, the set should be "wrapped" using the Collections.synchronizedSortedSet method. This is best done at creation time, to prevent accidental unsynchronized access to the set:
```
   SortedSet s = Collections.synchronizedSortedSet(new TreeSet(...));
 
```
The iterators returned by this class's iterator method are fail-fast: if the set is modified at any time after the iterator is created, in any way except through the iterator's own remove method, the iterator will throw a ConcurrentModificationException. Thus, in the face of concurrent modification, the iterator fails quickly and cleanly, rather than risking arbitrary, non-deterministic behavior at an undetermined time in the future.
Note that the fail-fast behavior of an iterator cannot be guaranteed as it is, generally speaking, impossible to make any hard guarantees in the presence of unsynchronized concurrent modification. Fail-fast iterators throw ConcurrentModificationException on a best-effort basis. Therefore, it would be wrong to write a program that depended on this exception for its correctness: the fail-fast behavior of iterators should be used only to detect bugs.
This class is a member of the Java Collections Framework.

- Constructor Detail
  - TreeSet
```
public TreeSet()
```
    Constructs a new, empty tree set, sorted according to the natural ordering of its elements. All elements inserted into the set must implement the Comparable interface. Furthermore, all such elements must be mutually comparable: e1.compareTo(e2) must not throw a ClassCastException for any elements e1 and e2 in the set. If the user attempts to add an element to the set that violates this constraint (for example, the user attempts to add a string element to a set whose elements are integers), the add call will throw a ClassCastException.
  - TreeSet
```
public TreeSet(java.util.Comparator<? super E> comparator)
```
    Constructs a new, empty tree set, sorted according to the specified comparator. All elements inserted into the set must be mutually comparable by the specified comparator: comparator.compare(e1, e2) must not throw a ClassCastException for any elements e1 and e2 in the set. If the user attempts to add an element to the set that violates this constraint, the add call will throw a ClassCastException.
    
    Parameters:
    
    comparator - the comparator that will be used to order this set. If null, the natural ordering of the elements will be used.
  - TreeSet
```
public TreeSet(java.util.Collection<? extends E> c)
```
    Constructs a new tree set containing the elements in the specified collection, sorted according to the natural ordering of its elements. All elements inserted into the set must implement the Comparable interface. Furthermore, all such elements must be mutually comparable: e1.compareTo(e2) must not throw a ClassCastException for any elements e1 and e2 in the set.
    
    Parameters:
    
    c - collection whose elements will comprise the new set
    
    Throws:
    
    java.lang.ClassCastException - if the elements in c are not Comparable, or are not mutually comparable
    
    java.lang.NullPointerException - if the specified collection is null
  - TreeSet
```
public TreeSet(SortedSet<E> s)
```
    Constructs a new tree set containing the same elements and using the same ordering as the specified sorted set.
    
    Parameters:
    
    s - sorted set whose elements will comprise the new set
    
    Throws:
    
    java.lang.NullPointerException - if the specified sorted set is null

  - iterator
```
public java.util.Iterator<E> iterator()

    Returns an iterator over the elements in this set in descending order.
    
    Specified by:

  - descendingSet
```
public NavigableSet<E> descendingSet()
```
    Description copied from interface: NavigableSet
    
    Returns a reverse order view of the elements contained in this set. The descending set is backed by this set, so changes to the set are reflected in the descending set, and vice-versa. If either set is modified while an iteration over either set is in progress (except through the iterator's own remove operation), the results of the iteration are undefined.
    The returned set has an ordering equivalent to Collections.reverseOrder(comparator()). The expression s.descendingSet().descendingSet() returns a view of s essentially equivalent to s.
