The Java TreeMap firstKey() method is used to return the first (lowest) key currently in this map.
DeclarationFollowing is the declaration for java.util.TreeMap.firstKey() method.
public K firstKey()Parameters
NA
Return ValueThe method call returns the first (lowest) key currently in this map.
ExceptionNoSuchElementException − This exception is thrown if this map is empty.
Getting First Key from a TreeMap of Integer, Integer Pairs ExampleThe following example shows the usage of Java TreeMap firstKey() method to get the first(lowest) key in the map. We've created a TreeMap object of Integer,Integer pairs. Then few entries are added, and using firstKey() we're printing first lowest key.
package com.tutorialspoint; import java.util.TreeMap; public class TreeMapDemo { public static void main(String[] args) { // creating tree map TreeMap<Integer, Integer> treemap = new TreeMap<>(); // populating tree map treemap.put(2, 2); treemap.put(1, 1); treemap.put(3, 3); treemap.put(6, 6); treemap.put(5, 5); System.out.println("Checking first key"); System.out.println("First key is: "+ treemap.firstKey()); } }Output
Let us compile and run the above program, this will produce the following result.

The following example shows the usage of Java TreeMap firstKey() method to get the first(lowest) key in the map. We've created a TreeMap object of Integer,Student pairs. Then few entries are added, and using firstKey() we're printing first lowest key.
package com.tutorialspoint; import java.util.TreeMap; public class TreeMapDemo { public static void main(String[] args) { // creating tree map TreeMap<Integer, Student> treemap = new TreeMap<>(); // populating tree map treemap.put(2, new Student(2, "Robert")); treemap.put(1, new Student(1, "Julie")); treemap.put(3, new Student(3, "Adam")); treemap.put(6, new Student(6, "Julia")); treemap.put(5, new Student(5, "Tom")); System.out.println("Checking first key"); System.out.println("First key is: "+ treemap.firstKey()); } } class Student { int rollNo; String name; Student(int rollNo, String name){ this.rollNo = rollNo; this.name = name; } @Override public String toString() { return "[ " + this.rollNo + ", " + this.name + " ]"; } @Override public boolean equals(Object obj) { if(obj == null) return false; Student s = (Student)obj; return this.rollNo == s.rollNo && this.name.equalsIgnoreCase(s.name); } }Output
Let us compile and run the above program, this will produce the following result.
