LinkedBlockingDeque pollLast() method in Java

The pollLast() method of LinkedBlockingDeque returns the last element in the Deque container, and deletes it. It returns null if the container is empty.

Syntax:

public E pollLast()

Parameters: This method does not accept any parameters.

Returns: This method returns last element in the Deque container if the container is not empty and deletes the element also. It returns null if the container is empty.

Below programs illustrate pollLast() method of LinkedBlockingDeque:

Program 1:

// Java Program Demonstrate pollLast() 
// 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); 
  
        // prints and deletes the last element 
        System.out.println("Front element in Deque: " +  
                                             LBD.pollLast()); 
  
        // prints the Deque after deletion of last element 
        System.out.println("Linked Blocking Deque: " + LBD); 
    } 
} 

Output:

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

Program 2:

// Java Program Demonstrate pollLast() 
// 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.pollLast()); 
    } 
} 

Output:

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