LinkedBlockingDeque peekLast() method in Java

Last Updated : 14 Sep, 2018

The peekLast() method of LinkedBlockingDeque returns the last element in the Deque container, but does not deletes it. It returns null if the container is empty.

Syntax:

public E peekLast()

Parameters: This method does not accept any parameters.

Returns: This method returns last element in the Deque container if the container is not empty. It returns false if the container is empty.

Below programs illustrate peekLast() method of LinkedBlockingDeque:

Program 1:

// Java Program Demonstrate peekLast()
// method of LinkedBlockingDeque
  
import java.util.concurrent.LinkedBlockingDeque;
import java.util.*;
  
public class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] args)
  
    {
  
        // create object of LinkedBlockingDeque
        LinkedBlockingDeque<Integer> LBD
            = new LinkedBlockingDeque<Integer>();
  
        // Add numbers to end of LinkedBlockingDeque
        LBD.addFirst(7855642);
        LBD.addFirst(35658786);
        LBD.addFirst(5278367);
        LBD.addFirst(74381793);
  
        // Print the queue
        System.out.println("Linked Blocking Deque: " + LBD);
  
        System.out.println("Front element in Deque: " + LBD.peekLast());
    }
}

Output:

Linked Blocking Deque: [74381793, 5278367, 35658786, 7855642]
Front element in Deque: 7855642

Program 2:

// Java Program Demonstrate peekLast()
// method of LinkedBlockingDeque
// when Deque is empty
  
import java.util.concurrent.LinkedBlockingDeque;
import java.util.*;
  
public class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] args)
  
    {
  
        // create object of LinkedBlockingDeque
        LinkedBlockingDeque<Integer> LBD
            = new LinkedBlockingDeque<Integer>();
  
        // Add numbers to end of LinkedBlockingDeque
        LBD.add(7855642);
        LBD.add(35658786);
        LBD.add(5278367);
        LBD.add(74381793);
  
        // Print the queue
        System.out.println("Linked Blocking Deque: " + LBD);
  
        // empty deque
        LBD.clear();
  
        System.out.println("Front element in Deque: " + LBD.peekLast());
    }
}

Output:

Linked Blocking Deque: [7855642, 35658786, 5278367, 74381793]
Front element in Deque: null
