BlockingDeque takeLast() method in Java with Examples

The takeLast() method of BlockingDeque returns and removes the tail of the Deque container from it. The method throws an InterruptedException if it is interrupted while waiting.

Syntax:

public E takeLast()

Returns: This method returns the tail(last element) of the Deque container. 

Exception: The function throws an InterruptedException if it is interrupted while waiting.

Note: The takeLast() method of BlockingDeque has been inherited from the LinkedBlockingDeque class in Java.

Below programs illustrate takeLast() method of BlockingDeque:

Program 1: 

Java

// Java Program to demonstrate takeLast()
// method of BlockingDeque

import java.util.concurrent.LinkedBlockingDeque;
import java.util.concurrent.BlockingDeque;
import java.util.*;

public class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] args)
        throws InterruptedException
    {

        // create object of BlockingDeque
        BlockingDeque<Integer> BD
            = new LinkedBlockingDeque<Integer>();

        // Add numbers to end of BlockingDeque
        BD.add(7855642);
        BD.add(35658786);
        BD.add(5278367);
        BD.add(74381793);

        // print Deque
        System.out.println("Blocking Deque: " + BD);

        // removes the last element and prints it
        System.out.println("Head of Blocking Deque: "
                           + BD.takeLast());

        // prints the Deque
        System.out.println("Blocking Deque: " + BD);
    }
}

Output:

Blocking Deque: [7855642, 35658786, 5278367, 74381793]
Head of Blocking Deque: 74381793
Blocking Deque: [7855642, 35658786, 5278367]

Program 2:

Java

// Java Program to demonstrate takeLast()
// method of BlockingDeque

import java.util.concurrent.LinkedBlockingDeque;
import java.util.concurrent.BlockingDeque;
import java.util.*;

public class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] args)
        throws InterruptedException
    {

        // create object of BlockingDeque
        BlockingDeque<Integer> BD
            = new LinkedBlockingDeque<Integer>();

        // Add numbers to end of BlockingDeque
        BD.add(7855642);
        BD.add(35658786);
        BD.add(5278367);
        BD.add(74381793);

        // print Deque
        System.out.println("Blocking Deque: " + BD);

        BD.clear();

        // throws error as the list is empty and it
        // is interrupted while waiting
        System.out.println("Head of Blocking Deque: "
                           + BD.takeLast());
    }
}

Runtime Errors:

Max real time limit exceeded due to either by heavy load on server or by using sleep function
