ArrayBlockingQueue
    open class ArrayBlockingQueue<E : Any!> : AbstractQueue<E>, BlockingQueue<E>, Serializable
    
    A bounded blocking queue backed by an array. This queue orders elements FIFO (first-in-first-out). The head of the queue is that element that has been on the queue the longest time. The tail of the queue is that element that has been on the queue the shortest time. New elements are inserted at the tail of the queue, and the queue retrieval operations obtain elements at the head of the queue. 
    This is a classic "bounded buffer", in which a fixed-sized array holds elements inserted by producers and extracted by consumers. Once created, the capacity cannot be changed. Attempts to put an element into a full queue will result in the operation blocking; attempts to take an element from an empty queue will similarly block. 
    This class supports an optional fairness policy for ordering waiting producer and consumer threads. By default, this ordering is not guaranteed. However, a queue constructed with fairness set to true grants threads access in FIFO order. Fairness generally decreases throughput but reduces variability and avoids starvation. 
    This class and its iterator implement all of the optional methods of the Collection and Iterator interfaces. 
    This class is a member of the  Java Collections Framework.

                    | Boolean | addAll(elements: Collection<E>)
                         Adds all of the elements in the specified collection to this queue. Attempts to addAll of a queue to itself result in IllegalArgumentException. Further, the behavior of this operation is undefined if the specified collection is modified while the operation is in progress. This implementation iterates over the specified collection, and adds each element returned by the iterator to this queue, in turn. A runtime exception encountered while trying to add an element (including, in particular, a nullelement) may result in only some of the elements having been successfully added when the associated exception is thrown. |  
                    | E | element()
                         Retrieves, but does not remove, the head of this queue. This method differs from peekonly in that it throws an exception if this queue is empty. This implementation returns the result of peekunless the queue is empty. |  
                    | E | remove()
                         Retrieves and removes the head of this queue. This method differs from pollonly in that it throws an exception if this queue is empty. This implementation returns the result of pollunless the queue is empty. |  |

                    | Boolean | contains(element: E?)
                         Returns trueif this collection contains the specified element. More formally, returnstrueif and only if this collection contains at least one elementesuch thatObjects.equals(o, e). |  
                    | Boolean | containsAll(elements: Collection<E>)
                         Returns trueif this collection contains all of the elements in the specified collection. |  
                    | Boolean | isEmpty()
                         Returns trueif this collection contains no elements. |  
                    | MutableIterator<E> | iterator()
                         Returns an iterator over the elements contained in this collection. |  
                    | Boolean | remove(element: E?)
                         Removes a single instance of the specified element from this collection, if it is present (optional operation). More formally, removes an element esuch thatObjects.equals(o, e), if this collection contains one or more such elements. Returnstrueif this collection contained the specified element (or equivalently, if this collection changed as a result of the call). |  
                    | Boolean | removeAll(elements: Collection<E>)
                         Removes all of this collection's elements that are also contained in the specified collection (optional operation). After this call returns, this collection will contain no elements in common with the specified collection. |  
                    | Boolean | retainAll(elements: Collection<E>)
                         Retains only the elements in this collection that are contained in the specified collection (optional operation). In other words, removes from this collection all of its elements that are not contained in the specified collection. |  
                    | Array<Any!> | toArray()
                         Returns an array containing all of the elements in this collection. If this collection makes any guarantees as to what order its elements are returned by its iterator, this method must return the elements in the same order. The returned array's runtime component type is Object. The returned array will be "safe" in that no references to it are maintained by this collection. (In other words, this method must allocate a new array even if this collection is backed by an array). The caller is thus free to modify the returned array. |  
                    | Array<T> | toArray(a: Array<T>)
                         Returns an array containing all of the elements in this collection; the runtime type of the returned array is that of the specified array. If the collection fits in the specified array, it is returned therein. Otherwise, a new array is allocated with the runtime type of the specified array and the size of this collection.  If this collection fits in the specified array with room to spare (i.e., the array has more elements than this collection), the element in the array immediately following the end of the collection is set to null. (This is useful in determining the length of this collection only if the caller knows that this collection does not contain anynullelements.) If this collection makes any guarantees as to what order its elements are returned by its iterator, this method must return the elements in the same order. |  
                    | String | toString()
                         Returns a string representation of this collection. The string representation consists of a list of the collection's elements in the order they are returned by its iterator, enclosed in square brackets ("[]"). Adjacent elements are separated by the characters", "(comma and space). Elements are converted to strings as byString.valueOf(Object). |  |

                         Inserts the specified element into this queue if it is possible to do so immediately without violating capacity restrictions. When using a capacity-restricted queue, this method is generally preferable to add, which can fail to insert an element only by throwing an exception. |

      remainingCapacity
      
      open fun remainingCapacity(): Int
      Returns the number of additional elements that this queue can ideally (in the absence of memory or resource constraints) accept without blocking. This is always equal to the initial capacity of this queue less the current size of this queue. 
      Note that you cannot always tell if an attempt to insert an element will succeed by inspecting remainingCapacity because it may be the case that another thread is about to insert or remove an element.
      
        
          
            | Return |

      remove
      
      open fun remove(element: E?): Boolean
      Removes a single instance of the specified element from this queue, if it is present. More formally, removes an element e such that o.equals(e), if this queue contains one or more such elements. Returns true if this queue contained the specified element (or equivalently, if this queue changed as a result of the call). 
      Removal of interior elements in circular array based queues is an intrinsically slow and disruptive operation, so should be undertaken only in exceptional circumstances, ideally only when the queue is known not to be accessible by other threads.

      toArray
      
      open fun toArray(): Array<Any!>
      Returns an array containing all of the elements in this queue, in proper sequence. 
      The returned array will be "safe" in that no references to it are maintained by this queue. (In other words, this method must allocate a new array). The caller is thus free to modify the returned array. 
      This method acts as bridge between array-based and collection-based APIs.
      
        
          
            | Return | 
          
            | Array<Any!> | an array containing all of the elements in this queue | 
        
      
     
    
      toArray
      
      open fun <T : Any!> toArray(a: Array<T>): Array<T>
      Returns an array containing all of the elements in this queue, in proper sequence; the runtime type of the returned array is that of the specified array. If the queue fits in the specified array, it is returned therein. Otherwise, a new array is allocated with the runtime type of the specified array and the size of this queue. 
      If this queue fits in the specified array with room to spare (i.e., the array has more elements than this queue), the element in the array immediately following the end of the queue is set to null. 
      Like the toArray() method, this method acts as bridge between array-based and collection-based APIs. Further, this method allows precise control over the runtime type of the output array, and may, under certain circumstances, be used to save allocation costs. 
      Suppose x is a queue known to contain only strings. The following code can be used to dump the queue into a newly allocated array of String: 
      <code>String[] y = x.toArray(new String[0]);</code>
 Note that 
toArray(new Object[0]) is identical in function to 
toArray().

            | a | Array<T>: the array into which the elements of the queue are to be stored, if it is big enough; otherwise, a new array of the same runtime type is allocated for this purpose |
