Sortedset also maintains elements in natural order

But what's the difference between them and navigableset?

Where is navigablesets useful? Some examples showing its use will be good for beginners

You cannot write only sortedset < integer > example = new sortedset < integer > ();

However, you can write sortedset < integer > example = new TreeSet < integer > ();

As the name suggests, navigablesets are more useful for browsing collections
