22. Get SubMap from Key to Key

Write a Java program to get the portion of a map whose keys range from a given key to another key.

Sample Solution:-

Java Code:

import java.util.*;
import java.util.Map.Entry;  
public class Example22 {  
           public static void main(String args[]) {

  // Declare tree maps
  TreeMap < Integer, String > tree_map = new TreeMap < Integer, String > ();
  SortedMap < Integer, String > sub_tree_map = new TreeMap < Integer, String > ();

  // Put elements to the map 
  tree_map.put(10, "Red");
  tree_map.put(20, "Green");
  tree_map.put(30, "Black");
  tree_map.put(40, "White");
  tree_map.put(50, "Pink");
  System.out.println("Orginal TreeMap content: " + tree_map);
  sub_tree_map = tree_map.subMap(20, true, 40, true);
  System.out.println("Sub map key-values: " + sub_tree_map);
 }
}

Sample Output:

Orginal TreeMap content: {10=Red, 20=Green, 30=Black, 40=White, 50=Pink
}                                                                      
Sub map key-values: {20=Green, 30=Black, 40=White}

Write a Java program to use subMap(key1, true, key2, true) on a TreeMap to retrieve a sub-map with keys in the closed range [key1, key2] and print it.
Write a Java program to iterate over the sub-map from subMap(key1, true, key2, true) and output each key-value pair.
Write a Java program to compare the sizes of sub-maps obtained with inclusive and exclusive endpoints for a given key range.
Write a Java program to use a lambda expression to filter a TreeMap’s entries based on a closed key range and collect the results into a new map.
