TreeSet of a simple Java Type

First, we create an empty set, and insert some elements into it:

TreeSet<Integer> treeSet = new TreeSet<>();

TreeSet<Integer> treeSet = new TreeSet<Integer>();

treeSet.add(10);
treeSet.add(4);
treeSet.add(1);
treeSet.add(12);

Once we have a few elements in the set, we can perform some operations:

System.out.println(treeSet.first()); // Prints 1
System.out.println(treeSet.last()); // Prints 12
System.out.println(treeSet.size()); // Prints 4, since there are 4 elemens in the set
System.out.println(treeSet.contains(12)); // Prints true
System.out.println(treeSet.contains(15)); // Prints false

We can also iterate over the map elements using either an Iterator, or a foreach loop. Note that the entries are printed according to their natural ordering, not the insertion order:

for (Integer i : treeSet) {
    System.out.print(i + " "); //prints 1 4 10 12
}

Iterator<Integer> iter = treeSet.iterator();
while (iter.hasNext()) {
    System.out.print(iter.next() + " "); //prints 1 4 10 12
}

Found a mistake? Have a question or improvement idea? Let me know.
