        poll in interface BlockingDeque<E>
        Specified by:
        poll in interface BlockingQueue<E>
        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 - if interrupted while waiting
      • element

        public E element()
        Retrieves, but does not remove, the head of the queue represented by this deque. This method differs from peek only in that it throws an exception if this deque is empty.

        This method is equivalent to getFirst.

        Specified by:
        element in interface BlockingDeque<E>
        Specified by:
        element in interface Deque<E>
        Specified by:
        element in interface Queue<E>
        Overrides:
        element in class AbstractQueue<E>
        Returns:
        the head of the queue represented by this deque
        Throws:
        NoSuchElementException - if this deque is empty
      • peek

        public E peek()
        Description copied from interface: BlockingDeque
        Retrieves, but does not remove, the head of the queue represented by this deque (in other words, the first element of this deque), or returns null if this deque is empty.

        This method is equivalent to peekFirst.

        Specified by:
        peek in interface BlockingDeque<E>
        Specified by:
        peek in interface Deque<E>
        Specified by:
        peek in interface Queue<E>
        Returns:
        the head of this deque, or null if this deque is empty
      • remainingCapacity

        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.

        Specified by:
        remainingCapacity in interface BlockingQueue<E>
        Returns:
        the remaining capacity
      • drainTo

        public int drainTo(Collection<? super E> c)
        Description copied from interface: BlockingQueue
        Removes all available elements from this queue and adds them to the given collection. This operation may be more efficient than repeatedly polling this queue. A failure encountered while attempting to add elements to collection c may result in elements being in neither, either or both collections when the associated exception is thrown. Attempts to drain a queue to itself result in IllegalArgumentException. 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:
        c - the collection to transfer elements into
        Returns:
        the number of elements transferred
        Throws:
        UnsupportedOperationException - if addition of elements is not supported by the specified collection
        ClassCastException - if the class of an element of this queue prevents it from being added to the specified collection
        NullPointerException - if the specified collection is null
        IllegalArgumentException - if the specified collection is this queue, or some property of an element of this queue prevents it from being added to the specified collection
      • drainTo

        public int drainTo(Collection<? super E> c,
                           int maxElements)
        Description copied from interface: BlockingQueue
        Removes at most the given number of available elements from this queue and adds them to the given collection. A failure encountered while attempting to add elements to collection c may result in elements being in neither, either or both collections when the associated exception is thrown. Attempts to drain a queue to itself result in IllegalArgumentException. 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:
        c - the collection to transfer elements into
        maxElements - the maximum number of elements to transfer
        Returns:
        the number of elements transferred
        Throws:
        UnsupportedOperationException - if addition of elements is not supported by the specified collection
        ClassCastException - if the class of an element of this queue prevents it from being added to the specified collection
        NullPointerException - if the specified collection is null
        IllegalArgumentException - if the specified collection is this queue, or some property of an element of this queue prevents it from being added to the specified collection
      • push

        public void push(E e)
        Description copied from interface: BlockingDeque
        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.

        Specified by:
        push in interface BlockingDeque<E>
        Specified by:
        push in interface Deque<E>
        Parameters:
        e - the element to push
        Throws:
        IllegalStateException - if this deque is full
        NullPointerException - if the specified element is null
      • pop

        public E pop()
        Description copied from interface: Deque
        Pops an element from the stack represented by this deque. In other words, removes and returns the first element of this deque.

        This method is equivalent to Deque.removeFirst().

        Specified by:
        pop in interface Deque<E>
        Returns:
        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 Collection<E>
        Specified by:
        remove in interface BlockingDeque<E>
        Specified by:
        remove in interface BlockingQueue<E>
        Specified by:
        remove in interface Deque<E>
        Overrides:
        remove in class AbstractCollection<E>
        Parameters:
        o - element to be removed from this deque, if present
        Returns:
        true if this deque changed as a result of the call
      • contains

        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).
        Specified by:
        contains in interface Collection<E>
        Specified by:
        contains in interface BlockingDeque<E>
        Specified by:
        contains in interface BlockingQueue<E>
        Specified by:
        contains in interface Deque<E>
        Overrides:
        contains in class AbstractCollection<E>
        Parameters:
        o - object to be checked for containment in this deque
        Returns:
        true if this deque contains the specified element
      • 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 runtime 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
      • toString

        public String toString()
        Description copied from class: AbstractCollection
        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).
        Overrides:
        toString in class AbstractCollection<E>
        Returns:
        a string representation of this collection
      • 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>
      • descendingIterator

        public Iterator<E> descendingIterator()
        Returns an iterator over the elements in this deque in reverse sequential order. The elements will be returned in order from last (tail) to first (head).

        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
