A linear collection that supports element insertion and removal at both ends. The name
dequeis short for "double ended queue" and is usually pronounced "deck". Most
Deque
implementations place no fixed limits on the number of elements they may contain, but this interface supports capacity-restricted deques as well as those with no fixed size limit.
This interface defines methods to access the elements at both ends of the deque. Methods are provided to insert, remove, and examine the element. Each of these methods exists in two forms: one throws an exception if the operation fails, the other returns a special value (either null
or false
, depending on the operation). The latter form of the insert operation is designed specifically for use with capacity-restricted Deque
implementations; in most implementations, insert operations cannot fail.
The twelve methods described above are summarized in the following table:
This interface extends the Queue
interface. When a deque is used as a queue, FIFO (First-In-First-Out) behavior results. Elements are added at the end of the deque and removed from the beginning. The methods inherited from the Queue
interface are precisely equivalent to Deque
methods as indicated in the following table:
Deques can also be used as LIFO (Last-In-First-Out) stacks. This interface should be used in preference to the legacy Stack
class. When a deque is used as a stack, elements are pushed and popped from the beginning of the deque. Stack methods are equivalent to Deque
methods as indicated in the table below:
Note that the peek
method works equally well when a deque is used as a queue or a stack; in either case, elements are drawn from the beginning of the deque.
This interface provides two methods to remove interior elements, removeFirstOccurrence
and removeLastOccurrence
.
Unlike the List
interface, this interface does not provide support for indexed access to elements.
While Deque
implementations are not strictly required to prohibit the insertion of null elements, they are strongly encouraged to do so. Users of any Deque
implementations that do allow null elements are strongly encouraged not to take advantage of the ability to insert nulls. This is so because null
is used as a special return value by various methods to indicate that the deque is empty.
Deque
implementations generally do not define element-based versions of the equals
and hashCode
methods, but instead inherit the identity-based versions from class Object
.
This interface is a member of the Java Collections Framework.
