Conclusion Use a TreeSet when: You need to dynamically maintain a sorted order of elements. You need efficient range-based or closest-value queries. log(n) tc for add(),remove(),celing(),floor(),lower(),higher() When Not to Use TreeSet Small Input Size: The overhead of maintaining a TreeSet is unnecessary for small arrays. Simpler solutions may work better. Constant Time Requirements: If you need O(1) operations like accessing the maximum or minimum element, a TreeSet is less optimal compared to a data structure like a Heap. When Memory is a Concern: A TreeSet has a higher memory overhead due to the internal structure of the red-black tree. Use Case in Problems These functions are useful in problems where: You need to find the closest elements to a given value. Efficient range queries are required, such as finding bounds or intervals dynamically. For example, in a prefix sum problem: floor() and ceiling() can help find bounds. higher() and lower() can help find strictly greater or smaller values.
