Java map that keeps minimal values per key [closed]

JavaDoc for method put of the Map interface states

If the map previously contained a mapping for the key, the old value is replaced by the specified value.

I’m looking for a Map implementation that keeps the minimal value for each key. So, that sentence should read

If the map previously contained a mapping for the key, the old value is replaced by the specified value if the new is smaller w.r.t. their natural order.

Answer

map.merge(key, value, Math::min)

If you must, create a class MinMap that delegates all calls to an internal map. For more points, use Lombok delegate. https://projectlombok.org/features/Delegate.html
