Abstract: It is known that the topological entropy of a continuous interval map $f$ is positive if and only if the type of $f$ for Sharkovskii's order is $2^{d}p$ for some odd integer $pge3$ and some $dge0$; and in this case the topological entropy of $f$ is greater than or equal to $fracloglambd{a}_p{2}^d$, where $lambd{a}_p$ is the unique positive root of $X^p-2X^{p-2}-1$. For every odd $pge3$, every $dge0$ and every $lambdagelambd{a}_p$, we build a piecewise monotone continuous interval map that is of type $2^{d}p$ for Sharkovskii's order and whose topological entropy is $fracloglambda{2}^d$. This shows that, for a given type, every possible finite entropy above the minimum can be reached provided the type allows the map to have positive entropy. Moreover, if $d=0$ the map we build is topologically mixing.
