ArrayDeque clone() Method in Java

The Java.util.ArrayDeque.clone() method is used to return a shallow copy of this deque. It just creates a copy of the deque.

Syntax:

Array_Deque.clone()

Parameters: The method does not take any parameter.

Return Value: The method just returns a copy of the ArrayDeque.

Below programs illustrate the Java.util.ArrayDeque.clone() method:
Program 1:

// Java code to illustrate clone()
import java.util.*;

public class ArrayDequeDemo {
    public static void main(String args[])
    {
        // Creating an empty ArrayDeque
        ArrayDeque<String> de_que = new ArrayDeque<String>();

        // Use add() method to add elements into the Deque
        de_que.add("Welcome");
        de_que.add("To");
        de_que.add("Geeks");
        de_que.add("4");
        de_que.add("Geeks");

        // Displaying the ArrayDeque
        System.out.println("ArrayDeque: " + de_que);

        // Creating another array to copy
        Deque<String> copy_deque = de_que.clone();

        // Displaying the copy of Deque
        System.out.println("The cloned array is: " + copy_deque);
    }
}

Output:

ArrayDeque: [Welcome, To, Geeks, 4, Geeks]
The cloned array is: [Welcome, To, Geeks, 4, Geeks]

Program 2:

// Java code to illustrate clone()
import java.util.*;

public class ArrayDequeDemo {
    public static void main(String args[])
    {
        // Creating an empty ArrayDeque
        ArrayDeque<Integer> de_que = new ArrayDeque<Integer>(8);

        // Use add() method to add elements into the Deque
        de_que.add(10);
        de_que.add(15);
        de_que.add(30);
        de_que.add(20);
        de_que.add(5);

        // Displaying the ArrayDeque
        System.out.println("ArrayDeque: " + de_que);

        // Creating another array to copy
        Deque<Integer> copy_deque = de_que.clone();

        // Displaying the copy of Deque
        System.out.println("The cloned array is: " + copy_deque);
    }
}

Output:

ArrayDeque: [10, 15, 30, 20, 5]
The cloned array is: [10, 15, 30, 20, 5]
