LinkedBlockingDeque

public class LinkedBlockingDeque extends AbstractQueue<E>
implements BlockingDeque<E> Serializable

An optionally-bounded {@linkplain BlockingDeque 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.

Public Constructor Summary

	LinkedBlockingDeque() Creates a `LinkedBlockingDeque` with a capacity of `Integer.MAX_VALUE`.
	LinkedBlockingDeque(int capacity) Creates a `LinkedBlockingDeque` with the given (fixed) capacity.
	LinkedBlockingDeque(Collection<? extends E> c) Creates a `LinkedBlockingDeque` with a capacity of `Integer.MAX_VALUE`, initially containing the elements of the given collection, added in traversal order of the collection's iterator.

Throws

IllegalStateException	if this deque is full
NullPointerException	if the specified element is null

public void addFirst (E e)

Parameters

e	the element to add

Throws

IllegalStateException	if this deque is full
NullPointerException

public void addLast (E e)

Inserts the specified element at the end of this deque if it is possible to do so immediately without violating capacity restrictions, throwing an IllegalStateException if no space is currently available. When using a capacity-restricted deque, it is generally preferable to use offerLast.

IllegalStateException	if this deque is full
NullPointerException

public void clear ()

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

public boolean contains (Object o)

Returns true if this deque contains the specified element. More formally, returns true if and only if this deque contains at least one element e such that o.equals(e).

Parameters

o	object to be checked for containment in this deque

This method is equivalent to pollFirst.

Parameters

timeout	how long to wait before giving up, in units of `unit`
unit	a `TimeUnit` determining how to interpret the `timeout` parameter

Returns

the head of this deque, or null if the specified waiting time elapses before an element is available

Throws

InterruptedException

public E pollFirst ()

Retrieves and removes the first element of this deque, or returns null if this deque is empty.

Returns

the head of this deque, or null if this deque is empty

the element at the front of this deque (which is the top of the stack represented by this deque)

Throws

NoSuchElementException

public void push (E e)

Pushes an element onto the stack represented by this deque (in other words, at the head of this deque) if it is possible to do so immediately without violating capacity restrictions, throwing an IllegalStateException if no space is currently available.

This method is equivalent to addFirst.

Parameters

e	the element to push

Throws

IllegalStateException	if this deque is full
NullPointerException

public void put (E e)

Inserts the specified element into the queue represented by this deque (in other words, at the tail of this deque), waiting if necessary for space to become available.

This method is equivalent to putLast.

NullPointerException
InterruptedException

public void putFirst (E e)

Inserts the specified element at the front of this deque, waiting if necessary for space to become available.

Parameters

e	the element to add

Throws

NullPointerException
InterruptedException

public void putLast (E e)

Parameters

e	the element to add

Throws

NullPointerException
InterruptedException

public int remainingCapacity ()

Returns the number of additional elements that this deque can ideally (in the absence of memory or resource constraints) accept without blocking. This is always equal to the initial capacity of this deque less the current size of this deque.

Note that you cannot always tell if an attempt to insert an element will succeed by inspecting remainingCapacity because it may be the case that another thread is about to insert or remove an element.

Returns

the remaining capacity

public E remove ()

Retrieves and removes the head of the queue represented by this deque. This method differs from poll only in that it throws an exception if this deque is empty.

This method is equivalent to removeFirst.

Returns

the head of the queue represented by this deque

Throws

NoSuchElementException	if this deque is empty

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.

Parameters

o	element to be removed from this deque, if present

Returns

true if this deque changed as a result of the call

public E removeFirst ()

Retrieves and removes the first element of this deque. This method differs from pollFirst only in that it throws an exception if this deque is empty.

Returns

the head of this deque

Throws

NoSuchElementException

public boolean removeFirstOccurrence (Object o)

Parameters

o	element to be removed from this deque, if present

Returns

true if an element was removed as a result of this call

public E removeLast ()

Retrieves and removes the last element of this deque. This method differs from pollLast only in that it throws an exception if this deque is empty.

Returns

the tail of this deque

Throws

NoSuchElementException

public boolean removeLastOccurrence (Object o)

Removes the last occurrence of the specified element from this deque. If the deque does not contain the element, it is unchanged. More formally, removes the last 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).

Parameters

o	element to be removed from this deque, if present

Returns

true if an element was removed as a result of this call

public int size ()

Returns the number of elements in this deque.

Returns

the number of elements in this deque

public Spliterator<E> spliterator ()

Returns a Spliterator over the elements in this deque.

The returned spliterator is weakly consistent.

The Spliterator reports Spliterator.CONCURRENT, Spliterator.ORDERED, and Spliterator.NONNULL.

Returns

a Spliterator over the elements in this deque

public E take ()

Retrieves and removes the head of the queue represented by this deque (in other words, the first element of this deque), waiting if necessary until an element becomes available.

This method is equivalent to takeFirst.

Returns

the head of this deque

Throws

InterruptedException

public E takeFirst ()

Retrieves and removes the first element of this deque, waiting if necessary until an element becomes available.

Returns

the head of this deque

Throws

InterruptedException

public E takeLast ()

Retrieves and removes the last element of this deque, waiting if necessary until an element becomes available.

Returns

the tail of this deque

Throws

InterruptedException

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.

Returns

an array containing all of the elements in this deque

public 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().

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

public String toString ()

Returns a string representation of this collection. The string representation consists of a list of the collection's elements in the order they are returned by its iterator, enclosed in square brackets ("[]"). Adjacent elements are separated by the characters ", " (comma and space). Elements are converted to strings as by String.valueOf(Object).

Returns

a string representation of this collection
