Class LinkedBlockingDeque<E>

Type Parameters:
E - the type of elements held in this deque
All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable, Iterable<E>, Collection<E>, BlockingDeque<E>, BlockingQueue<E>, Deque<E>, Queue<E> 
public class LinkedBlockingDeque<E>
extends AbstractQueue<E>
implements BlockingDeque<E>, Serializable

An optionally-bounded blocking deque based on linked nodes.

The optional capacity bound constructor argument serves as a way to prevent excessive expansion. The capacity, if unspecified, is equal to Integer.MAX_VALUE. Linked nodes are dynamically created upon each insertion unless this would bring the deque above capacity.

Most operations run in constant time (ignoring time spent blocking). Exceptions include remove, removeFirstOccurrence, removeLastOccurrence, contains, iterator.remove(), and the bulk operations, all of which run in linear time.

This class and its iterator implement all of the optional methods of the Collection and Iterator interfaces.

This class is a member of the Java Collections Framework.

the remaining capacity

drainTo

public int drainTo(Collection<? super E> c)

Description copied from interface: BlockingQueue

Further, the behavior of this operation is undefined if the specified collection is modified while the operation is in progress.

Specified by:
drainTo in interface BlockingQueue<E>

Parameters:
e - the element to push
Throws:
IllegalStateException - if this deque is full
NullPointerException - if the specified element is null

the element at the front of this deque (which is the top of the stack represented by this deque)
Throws:
NoSuchElementException - if this deque is empty

remove

public boolean remove(Object o)

Removes the first occurrence of the specified element from this deque. If the deque does not contain the element, it is unchanged. More formally, removes the first element e such that o.equals(e) (if such an element exists). Returns true if this deque contained the specified element (or equivalently, if this deque changed as a result of the call).

This method is equivalent to removeFirstOccurrence.

Specified by:
remove in interface BlockingDeque<E>
Specified by:
remove in interface BlockingQueue<E>
Specified by:
remove in interface Collection<E>
Specified by:
remove in interface Deque<E>

Specified by:
contains in interface BlockingDeque<E>
Specified by:
contains in interface BlockingQueue<E>
Specified by:
contains in interface Collection<E>
Specified by:
contains in interface Deque<E>
Overrides:

Returns:
true if this deque contains the specified element

addAll

public boolean addAll(Collection<? extends E> c)

Appends all of the elements in the specified collection to the end of this deque, in the order that they are returned by the specified collection's iterator. Attempts to addAll of a deque to itself result in IllegalArgumentException.

Specified by:
addAll in interface Collection<E>
Specified by:
addAll in interface Deque<E>
Overrides:
addAll in class AbstractQueue<E>
Parameters:
c - the elements to be inserted into this deque
Returns:
true if this deque changed as a result of the call
Throws:
NullPointerException - if the specified collection or any of its elements are null
IllegalArgumentException - if the collection is this deque
IllegalStateException - if this deque is full
See Also:
add(Object)

toArray

public Object[] toArray()

Returns an array containing all of the elements in this deque, in proper sequence (from first to last element).

The returned array will be "safe" in that no references to it are maintained by this deque. (In other words, this method must allocate a new array). The caller is thus free to modify the returned array.

This method acts as bridge between array-based and collection-based APIs.

Specified by:
toArray in interface Collection<E>
Overrides:
toArray in class AbstractCollection<E>
Returns:
an array containing all of the elements in this deque

toArray

public <T> T[] toArray(T[] a)

Returns an array containing all of the elements in this deque, in proper sequence; the runtime type of the returned array is that of the specified array. If the deque fits in the specified array, it is returned therein. Otherwise, a new array is allocated with the runtime type of the specified array and the size of this deque.

If this deque fits in the specified array with room to spare (i.e., the array has more elements than this deque), the element in the array immediately following the end of the deque is set to null.

Like the toArray() method, this method acts as bridge between array-based and collection-based APIs. Further, this method allows precise control over the runtime type of the output array, and may, under certain circumstances, be used to save allocation costs.

Suppose x is a deque known to contain only strings. The following code can be used to dump the deque into a newly allocated array of String: 

String[] y = x.toArray(new String[0]);
Note that toArray(new Object[0]) is identical in function to toArray().
Specified by:
toArray in interface Collection<E>
Overrides:
toArray in class AbstractCollection<E>
Type Parameters:
T - the component type of the array to contain the collection
Parameters:
a - the array into which the elements of the deque are to be stored, if it is big enough; otherwise, a new array of the same runtime type is allocated for this purpose
Returns:
an array containing all of the elements in this deque
Throws:
ArrayStoreException - if the runtime type of the specified array is not a supertype of the runtime type of every element in this deque
NullPointerException - if the specified array is null

clear

public void clear()

Atomically removes all of the elements from this deque. The deque will be empty after this call returns.

Specified by:
clear in interface Collection<E>
Overrides:
clear in class AbstractQueue<E>

iterator

public Iterator<E> iterator()

The returned iterator is weakly consistent.

Specified by:
descendingIterator in interface Deque<E>
Returns:
an iterator over the elements in this deque in reverse order

spliterator

Since:
1.8

forEach

public void forEach(Consumer<? super E> action)

Description copied from interface: Iterable

Performs the given action for each element of the Iterable until all elements have been processed or the action throws an exception. Actions are performed in the order of iteration, if that order is specified. Exceptions thrown by the action are relayed to the caller.

The behavior of this method is unspecified if the action performs side-effects that modify the underlying source of elements, unless an overriding class has specified a concurrent modification policy.

Specified by:
forEach in interface Iterable<E>
Parameters:
action - The action to be performed for each element
Throws:
NullPointerException - if the specified action is null
