Public Method tailMap

abstract SortedMap tailMap(Object fromKey)

_INSERT_METHOD_SIGNATURE_HERE_

Returns a view of the portion of this sorted map whose keys are strictly less than toKey. The returned sorted map is backed by this sorted map, so changes in the returned sorted map are reflected in this sorted map, and vice-versa. The returned map supports all optional map operations that this sorted map supports.

The map returned by this method will throw an IllegalArgumentException if the user attempts to insert a key outside the specified range.

This method always returns a view that does not contain its (high) endpoint. If you need a view that does contain this endpoint, and the key type allows for calculation of the successor a given key, merely request a headMap bounded by successor(highEndpoint).
