tailSet

abstract fun tailSet(fromElement: E): SortedSet<E>?

Returns a view of the portion of this set whose elements are greater than or equal to fromElement. The returned set is backed by this set, so changes in the returned set are reflected in this set, and vice-versa. The returned set supports all optional set operations that this set supports.

The returned set will throw an IllegalArgumentException on an attempt to insert an element outside its range.

Return

a view of the portion of this set whose elements are greater than or equal to fromElement

Parameters

fromElement

low endpoint (inclusive) of the returned set

Throws

if fromElement is not compatible with this set's comparator (or, if the set has no comparator, if fromElement does not implement Comparable). Implementations may, but are not required to, throw this exception if fromElement cannot be compared to elements currently in the set.

if fromElement is null and this set does not permit null elements

if this set itself has a restricted range, and fromElement lies outside the bounds of the range
