The java.util.ConcurrentLinkedDeque.peek() method in Java is used to retrieve or fetch the element at the head of the Deque. The element retrieved does not get deleted or removed from the Deque instead the method just returns it. If no element is present in the deque then Null is returned.
Syntax:
Array_Deque.peek()
Parameters: The method does not take any parameter.
Return Value: The method returns the element at the head of the Deque.
Below programs illustrate the Java.util.ConcurrentLinkedDeque.peek() method:
Program 1:
// Java code to illustrate peek() import java.util.concurrent.*;
public class ConcurrentLinkedDequeDemo {
public static void main(String args[])
{
// Creating an empty ConcurrentLinkedDeque
ConcurrentLinkedDeque<String> de_que
= new ConcurrentLinkedDeque<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 ConcurrentLinkedDeque
System.out.println( "Initial ConcurrentLinkedDeque: "
+ de_que);
// Displaying the head
System.out.println( "The element at head is: "
+ de_que.peek());
// Displaying the ConcurrentLinkedDeque after operation
System.out.println( "Final ConcurrentLinkedDeque: "
+ de_que);
}
} |
Output:
Initial ConcurrentLinkedDeque: [Welcome, To, Geeks, 4, Geeks] The element at head is: Welcome Final ConcurrentLinkedDeque: [Welcome, To, Geeks, 4, Geeks]
Program 2:
// Java code to illustrate peek() import java.util.concurrent.*;
public class ConcurrentLinkedDequeDemo {
public static void main(String args[])
{
// Creating an empty ConcurrentLinkedDeque
ConcurrentLinkedDeque<Integer> de_que
= new ConcurrentLinkedDeque<Integer>();
// 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 ConcurrentLinkedDeque
System.out.println( "Initial ConcurrentLinkedDeque: "
+ de_que);
// Displaying the head
System.out.println( "The element at head is: "
+ de_que.peek());
// Displaying the ConcurrentLinkedDeque after operation
System.out.println( "Final ConcurrentLinkedDeque: "
+ de_que);
}
} |
Output:
Initial ConcurrentLinkedDeque: [10, 15, 30, 20, 5] The element at head is: 10 Final ConcurrentLinkedDeque: [10, 15, 30, 20, 5]
Program 3: For an empty deque:
// Java code to illustrate peek() import java.util.concurrent.*;
public class ConcurrentLinkedDequeDemo {
public static void main(String args[])
{
// Creating an empty ConcurrentLinkedDeque
ConcurrentLinkedDeque<Integer> de_que
= new ConcurrentLinkedDeque<Integer>();
// Displaying the ConcurrentLinkedDeque
System.out.println( "ConcurrentLinkedDeque: "
+ de_que);
// Displaying the head
System.out.println( "The element at head is: "
+ de_que.peek());
}
} |
Output:
ConcurrentLinkedDeque: [] The element at head is: null
