BlockingDeque takeFirst() method in Java with Examples
Last Updated :
14 Oct, 2019
The
takeFirst() method of
BlockingDeque returns and removes the first element of the Deque container from it, waiting if necessary until an element becomes available.. The method throws an
InterruptedException if it is interrupted while waiting.
Syntax:
public E takeFirst()
Returns: This method returns the
first element of the Deque container, waiting if necessary until an element becomes available.
Exception: The function throws an
InterruptedException if it is interrupted while waiting.
Note: The
takeFirst() method of
BlockingDeque has been inherited from the LinkedBlockingDeque class in Java.
Below programs illustrate takeFirst() method of LinkedBlockingDeque:
Program 1:
Java
// Java Program to demonstrate takeFirst()
// method of BlockingDeque
import java.util.concurrent.BlockingDeque;
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 front element and prints it
System.out.println("Head of Blocking Deque: "
+ BD.takeFirst());
// prints the Deque
System.out.println("Blocking Deque: " + BD);
}
}
Output:
Blocking Deque: [7855642, 35658786, 5278367, 74381793]
Head of Linked Deque: 7855642
Blocking Deque: [35658786, 5278367, 74381793]
Program 2: To demonstrate InterruptedException
Java
// Java Program to demonstrate takeFirst()
// 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 Dequeue
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.takeFirst());
}
}
Max real time limit exceeded due to either by heavy load on server or by using sleep function
