ConcurrentLinkedDeque (Java Platform SE 8 )

java.lang.Object
- java.util.AbstractCollection<E>
- - java.util.concurrent.ConcurrentLinkedDeque<E>

Type Parameters:

E - the type of elements held in this collection

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Iterable<E>, Collection<E>, Deque<E>, Queue<E>
```
public class ConcurrentLinkedDeque<E>
extends AbstractCollection<E>
implements Deque<E>, Serializable
```
An unbounded concurrent deque based on linked nodes. Concurrent insertion, removal, and access operations execute safely across multiple threads. A ConcurrentLinkedDeque is an appropriate choice when many threads will share access to a common collection. Like most other concurrent collection implementations, this class does not permit the use of null elements.
Iterators and spliterators are weakly consistent.
Beware that, unlike in most collections, the size method is NOT a constant-time operation. Because of the asynchronous nature of these deques, determining the current number of elements requires a traversal of the elements, and so may report inaccurate results if this collection is modified during traversal. Additionally, the bulk operations addAll, removeAll, retainAll, containsAll, equals, and toArray are not guaranteed to be performed atomically. For example, an iterator operating concurrently with an addAll operation might view only some of the added elements.
This class and its iterator implement all of the optional methods of the Deque and Iterator interfaces.
Memory consistency effects: As with other concurrent collections, actions in a thread prior to placing an object into a ConcurrentLinkedDeque happen-before actions subsequent to the access or removal of that element from the ConcurrentLinkedDeque in another thread.
This class is a member of the Java Collections Framework.

    Specified by:
    
    removeFirstOccurrence in interface Deque<E>
    
    Parameters:
    
    o - element to be removed from this deque, if present
    
    Returns:
    
    true if the deque contained the specified element
    
    Throws:
    
    NullPointerException - if the specified element is null
  - removeLastOccurrence
```
public boolean removeLastOccurrence(Object o)

    Specified by:
    
    removeLastOccurrence in interface Deque<E>
    
    Parameters:
    
    o - element to be removed from this deque, if present
    
    Returns:
    
    true if the deque contained the specified element
    
    Throws:
    
    NullPointerException - if the specified element is null
  - contains
```
public boolean contains(Object o)
```
    Returns true 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 Deque<E>
    
    Overrides:

    Returns:

  - isEmpty
```
public boolean isEmpty()
```
    Returns true if this collection contains no elements.
    
    Specified by:
    
    isEmpty in interface Collection<E>
    
    Overrides:
    
    isEmpty in class AbstractCollection<E>
    
    Returns:
    
    true if this collection contains no elements
  - size
```
public int size()
```
    Returns the number of elements in this deque. If this deque contains more than Integer.MAX_VALUE elements, it returns Integer.MAX_VALUE.
    Beware that, unlike in most collections, this method is NOT a constant-time operation. Because of the asynchronous nature of these deques, determining the current number of elements requires traversing them all to count them. Additionally, it is possible for the size to change during execution of this method, in which case the returned result will be inaccurate. Thus, this method is typically not very useful in concurrent applications.
    
    Specified by:
    
    size in interface Collection<E>
    
    Specified by:
    
    size in interface Deque<E>
    
    Specified by:
    
    size in class AbstractCollection<E>
    
    Returns:
    
    the number of elements in this deque
  - remove
```
public boolean remove(Object o)
```
    Removes the first element e such that o.equals(e), if such an element exists in this deque. If the deque does not contain the element, it is unchanged.
    
    Specified by:
    
    remove in interface Collection<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 the deque contained the specified element
    
    Throws:
    
    NullPointerException - if the specified element is null
  - 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>
    
    Overrides:
    
    addAll in class AbstractCollection<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
    
    See Also:
    
    AbstractCollection.add(Object)
  - clear
```
public void clear()
```
    Removes all of the elements from this deque.
    
    Specified by:
    
    clear in interface Collection<E>
    
    Overrides:
    
    clear in class AbstractCollection<E>
  - 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 (from first to last element); 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
  - iterator
```
public Iterator<E> iterator()
```
    Returns an iterator over the elements in this deque in proper sequence. The elements will be returned in order from first (head) to last (tail).
    The returned iterator is weakly consistent.
