ConcurrentLinkedDeque
    open class ConcurrentLinkedDeque<E : Any!> : AbstractCollection<E>, Deque<E>, Serializable
    
    An unbounded concurrent deque based on linked nodes. Concurrent insertion, removal, and access operations execute safely across multiple threads. A ConcurrentLinkedDeque is an appropriate choice when many threads will share access to a common collection. Like most other concurrent collection implementations, this class does not permit the use of null elements. 
    Iterators and spliterators are weakly consistent. 
    Beware that, unlike in most collections, the size method is NOT a constant-time operation. Because of the asynchronous nature of these deques, determining the current number of elements requires a traversal of the elements, and so may report inaccurate results if this collection is modified during traversal. 
    Bulk operations that add, remove, or examine multiple elements, such as #addAll, removeIf or forEach, are not guaranteed to be performed atomically. For example, a forEach traversal concurrent with an addAll operation might observe only some of the added elements. 
    This class and its iterator implement all of the optional methods of the Deque and Iterator interfaces. 
    Memory consistency effects: As with other concurrent collections, actions in a thread prior to placing an object into a ConcurrentLinkedDeque happen-before actions subsequent to the access or removal of that element from the ConcurrentLinkedDeque in another thread. 
    This class is a member of the  Java Collections Framework.

                         Returns a reverse-ordered view of this collection. The encounter order of elements in the returned view is the inverse of the encounter order of elements in this collection. The reverse ordering affects all order-sensitive operations, including those on the view collections of the returned view. If the collection implementation permits modifications to this view, the modifications "write through" to the underlying collection. Changes to the underlying collection might or might not be visible in this reversed view, depending upon the implementation. |  |

      open fun remove(element: E?): Boolean
      Removes the first occurrence of the specified element from this deque. If the deque does not contain the element, it is unchanged. More formally, removes the first element e such that o.equals(e) (if such an element exists). Returns true if this deque contained the specified element (or equivalently, if this deque changed as a result of the call). 
      This method is equivalent to removeFirstOccurrence(java.lang.Object).

      toArray
      
      open fun toArray(): Array<Any!>
      Returns an array containing all of the elements in this deque, in proper sequence (from first to last element). 
      The returned array will be "safe" in that no references to it are maintained by this deque. (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 deque | 
        
      
     
    
      toArray
      
      open fun <T : Any!> toArray(a: Array<T>): Array<T>
      Returns an array containing all of the elements in this deque, in proper sequence (from first to last element); the runtime type of the returned array is that of the specified array. If the deque 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 deque. 
      If this deque fits in the specified array with room to spare (i.e., the array has more elements than this deque), the element in the array immediately following the end of the deque 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 deque known to contain only strings. The following code can be used to dump the deque 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 deque are to be stored, if it is big enough; otherwise, a new array of the same runtime type is allocated for this purpose | 
        
      
      
        
          
            | Return |

    Properties
    
      size
      
      open val size: Int
      Returns the number of elements in this deque. If this deque contains more than Integer.MAX_VALUE elements, it returns Integer.MAX_VALUE. 
      Beware that, unlike in most collections, this method is NOT a constant-time operation. Because of the asynchronous nature of these deques, determining the current number of elements requires traversing them all to count them. Additionally, it is possible for the size to change during execution of this method, in which case the returned result will be inaccurate. Thus, this method is typically not very useful in concurrent applications.
      
        
          
            | Return | 
          
            | Int | the number of elements in this deque |
