Queue Methods in Java

1. add(E e)

--------------------

- Description: Inserts the specified element at the end of the queue.

If it fails (due to capacity), it throws an exception (e.g., IllegalStateException).

- Example:

Queue<String> queue = new LinkedList<>();

queue.add("Apple");

queue.add("Banana");

queue.add("Cherry");

System.out.println(queue); // Output: [Apple, Banana, Cherry]

2. remove()

--------------------

- Description: Removes and returns the head of the queue.

If the queue is empty, it throws a NoSuchElementException.

- Example:

Queue<String> queue = new LinkedList<>();

queue.add("Apple");

queue.add("Banana");

queue.add("Cherry");

System.out.println("Removed: " + queue.remove()); // Output: Removed: Apple


System.out.println(queue); // Output: [Banana, Cherry]

3. peek()

--------------------

- Description: Returns the head of the queue without removing it.

If the queue is empty, it returns null.

- Example:

Queue<String> queue = new LinkedList<>();

queue.add("Apple");

queue.add("Banana");

System.out.println("Head: " + queue.peek()); // Output: Head: Apple

System.out.println(queue); // Output: [Apple, Banana]

4. isEmpty()

--------------------

- Description: Returns true if the queue is empty; otherwise false.

- Example:

Queue<String> queue = new LinkedList<>();

queue.add("Apple");

System.out.println("Is queue empty? " + queue.isEmpty()); // Output: false

queue.remove();

System.out.println("Is queue empty? " + queue.isEmpty()); // Output: true

5. size()
--------------------

- Description: Returns the number of elements in the queue.

- Example:

Queue<String> queue = new LinkedList<>();

queue.add("Apple");

queue.add("Banana");

queue.add("Cherry");

System.out.println("Queue size: " + queue.size()); // Output: Queue size: 3
