Deque stack java6/20/2023 ![]() If you have reasons for using a LinkedList (e.g., if you mainly remove and insert elements in the middle – though that is not in the role of a deque), then I would advise you to compare the performance of LinkedList for your specific use case with alternative data structures. Of course, these are only general recommendations. If you need a non-thread-safe deque (or a non-thread-safe queue), use an ArrayDeque. If you need a list, ArrayList is usually the better choice. Linked lists are "hard to digest" for the garbage collector.Accessing the elements of an array is faster than accessing those of a linked list.An array requires significantly less memory than a linked list.You can find the reasons in the article " Difference between Array and Linked List". I generally advise against using LinkedList as a deque. ¹ Fail-fast: The iterator throws a ConcurrentModificationException if elements are inserted into or removed from the deque during iteration. The characteristics in detail: Underlying data structure The Deque-specific methods were added with the introduction of Deque in Java 6. It has existed in the JDK since version 1.2, significantly longer than the Deque interface it implements. The class implements a classic doubly linked list. in the class hierarchy LinkedList Characteristics as Deque ![]() Remove the last element of the ArrayDeque. Remove the first element of the ArrayDeque. Print the last element of the ArrayDeque. Print the first element of the ArrayDeque. Print the ArrayDeque elements using iterator. * This class is used to show the ArrayDeque functionality. Syntax: public boolean removeLastOccurrence() A simple example of ArrayDeque class to explain few methods of Deque interface. Returns true if specified element is removed from this deque otherwise returns false. removeLastOccurrence(): Removes the last occurrence of the specified element from this deque. Syntax: public boolean removeFirstOccurrence()ġ4. removeFirstOccurrence(): Removes the first occurrence of the specified element from this deque. peekLast(): Returns but does not removes the last element of this deque. peekFirst(): Returns but does not removes the first element of this deque. It throws an exception if this deque is empty.ġ1. getLast(): Returns but does not removes the last element of this deque. It throws an exception if this deque is empty.ġ0. getFirst(): Returns but does not removes the first element of this deque. pollLast(): Returns and removes the last element of this deque. pollFirst(): Returns and removes the first element of this deque. It throws an exception if this deque is empty.ħ. removeLast(): Returns and removes the last element of this deque. It throws an exception if this deque is empty.Ħ. ![]() removeFirst(): Returns and removes the first element of this deque. Syntax: public boolean offerLast(Object obj)ĥ. Returns true if the element was added to this deque, else false. ![]() offerLast(Object obj): Inserts the specified element at the end of this deque. Syntax: public boolean offerFirst(Object obj)Ĥ. offerFirst(Object obj): Inserts the specified element at the front of this deque. addLast(Object obj): Inserts the specified element at the end of this deque.ģ. addFirst(Object obj): Inserts the specified element at the front of this deque.Ģ. Commonly used methods of Deque interface:ġ. In a deque all new elements can be inserted, retrieved and removed at both ends. Deques can be used both as FIFO (first-in, first-out) and LIFO (last-in, first-out). ![]()
