arraydeque code example
Example: ArrayDeque
import java.util.Deque;
import java.util.ArrayDeque;
public class ArrayDequeExample {
public static void main(String[] args) {
/*
* We cannot create instance of a Deque as it is an
* interface, we can create instance of ArrayDeque or
* LinkedList and assign it to Deque
*/
Deque<String> dq = new ArrayDeque<String>();
/*
* Adding elements to the Deque.
* addFirst() adds element at the beginning
* and addLast() method adds at the end.
*/
dq.add("Glenn");
dq.add("Negan");
dq.addLast("Maggie");
dq.addFirst("Rick");
dq.add("Daryl");
System.out.println("Elements in Deque:"+dq);
/*
* We can remove element from Deque using remove() method,
* we can use normal remove() method which removes first
* element or we can use removeFirst() and removeLast()
* methods to remove first and last element respectively.
*/
System.out.println("Removed element: "+dq.removeLast());
/*
* element() method - returns the head of the
* Deque. Head is the first element of Deque
*/
System.out.println("Head: "+dq.element());
/*
* pollLast() method - this method removes and returns the
* tail of the Deque(last element). Returns null if the Deque is empty.
* We can also use poll() or pollFirst() to remove the first element of
* Deque.
*/
System.out.println("poll(): "+dq.pollLast());
/*
* peek() method - it works same as element() method,
* however it returns null if the Deque is empty. We can also use
* peekFirst() and peekLast() to retrieve first and last element
*/
System.out.println("peek(): "+dq.peek());
//Again printing the elements of Deque
System.out.println("Elements in Deque:"+dq);
