[Java collection class] LinkedHashMap gets the first element and the last element

Get the head element (the oldest added element) in the LinkedHashMap:

Time complexity O(1)

public <K, V> Entry<K, V> getHead(LinkedHashMap<K, V> map) {
    return map.entrySet().iterator().next();
}

Get the last element (the most recently added element) in the LinkedHashMap:

Time complexity O(n)

public <K, V> Entry<K, V> getTail(LinkedHashMap<K, V> map) {
    Iterator<Entry<K, V>> iterator = map.entrySet().iterator();
    Entry<K, V> tail = null;
    while (iterator.hasNext()) {
        tail = iterator.next();
    }
    return tail;
}

Get the last element in LinkedHashMap by reflection:

Time complexity O(1), accessing the tail property

public <K, V> Entry<K, V> getTailByReflection(LinkedHashMap<K, V> map)
        throws NoSuchFieldException, IllegalAccessException {
    Field tail = map.getClass().getDeclaredField("tail");
    tail.setAccessible(true);
    return (Entry<K, V>) tail.get(map);
}
