In the example below, the java.util.Collections.unmodifiableSortedSet() method returns an unmodifiable view of the given sorted set.

import java.util.*;

public class MyClass {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    //creating a SortedSet object
    SortedSet<Integer> MySet = new TreeSet<Integer>();

    //populating the set
    MySet.add(30);
    MySet.add(20);
    MySet.add(10);
    MySet.add(40);

    //printing the set
    System.out.println("MySet contains: " + MySet); 

    //creating an unmodifiable view of the sorted set
    SortedSet NewSet = Collections.unmodifiableSortedSet(MySet);

    //printing the unmodifiable sorted set
    System.out.println("NewSet contains: " + NewSet); 

    //trying to modify the NewSet
    NewSet.add(50);     
  }
}

The output of the above code will be:

MySet contains: [10, 20, 30, 40]
