    //creating a treemap
    TreeMap<Integer, String> MyMap = new TreeMap<Integer, String>();

    //populating the map
    MyMap.put(102, "John");
    MyMap.put(103, "Marry");
    MyMap.put(101, "Kim");
    MyMap.put(104, "Jo");
    MyMap.put(105, "Sam");

    //printing the map
    System.out.println("MyMap contains: " + MyMap); 

    //printing the last key in the map
    System.out.println("The last key in the map is: " + MyMap.lastKey());
