LinkedBlockingQueue toString() Method in Java with Examples
Last Updated :

The
toString() method of
LinkedBlockingQueue returns a String representation of the elements of LinkedBlockingQueue. The string of LinkedBlockingQueue contains its elements from first(head) to last(tail), enclosed in square brackets(“[]”) in proper order. The elements are separated by the characters ', ' (comma and a space). So basically the toString() method is used to convert all the elements of LinkedBlockingQueue into a String representation.
This method overrides the toString() in class
AbstractCollection<E>
Syntax:
public String toString()
Return Value: This method returns a String which is the representation of the elements of LinkedBlockingQueue from first(head) to last(tail), enclosed in square brackets(“[]”) in proper order,separated by the ', ' (comma and a space).
Below programs illustrates toString() method of LinkedBlockingQueue class:
Program 1:
Java
// Java Program Demonstrate toString()
// method of LinkedBlockingQueue
import java.util.concurrent.LinkedBlockingQueue;
public class GFG {
public static void main(String[] args)
{
// define capacity of LinkedBlockingQueue
int capacityOfQueue = 50;
// create object of LinkedBlockingQueue
LinkedBlockingQueue<Integer> linkedQueue
= new LinkedBlockingQueue<Integer>(capacityOfQueue);
// Add element to LinkedBlockingQueue
linkedQueue.add(2300);
linkedQueue.add(1322);
linkedQueue.add(8945);
linkedQueue.add(6512);
// toString() on linkedQueue
String queueRepresentation = linkedQueue.toString();
// print results
System.out.println("Queue Representation:");
System.out.println(queueRepresentation);
}
}
Output:
Queue Representation:
[2300, 1322, 8945, 6512]
Java
// Java Program Demonstrate toString()
// method of LinkedBlockingQueue.
import java.util.concurrent.LinkedBlockingQueue;
public class GFG {
// create an Employee Object with
// position and salary as an attribute
public class Employee {
public String name;
public String position;
public String salary;
Employee(String name, String position, String salary)
{
this.name = name;
this.position = position;
this.salary = salary;
}
@Override
public String toString()
{
return "Employee [name=" + name + ", position="
+ position + ", salary=" + salary + "]";
}
}
// Main Method
public static void main(String[] args)
{
GFG gfg = new GFG();
gfg.stringRepresentation();
}
public void stringRepresentation()
{
// define capacity of LinkedBlockingQueue
int capacity = 50;
// create object of LinkedBlockingQueue
LinkedBlockingQueue<Employee> linkedQueue
= new LinkedBlockingQueue<Employee>(capacity);
Employee emp1 = new Employee("Aman", "Analyst", "24000");
Employee emp2 = new Employee("Sachin", "Developer", "39000");
// Add Employee Objects to linkedQueue
linkedQueue.add(emp1);
linkedQueue.add(emp2);
// toString() on linkedQueue
String queueRepresentation = linkedQueue.toString();
// print results
System.out.println("Queue Representation:");
System.out.println(queueRepresentation);
}
}
Output:
Queue Representation:
[Employee [name=Aman, position=Analyst, salary=24000], Employee [name=Sachin, position=Developer, salary=39000]]
