LinkedBlockingDeque
open class LinkedBlockingDeque<E : Any!> : AbstractQueue<E>, BlockingDeque<E>, Serializable
An optionally-bounded blocking deque based on linked nodes.
The optional capacity bound constructor argument serves as a way to prevent excessive expansion. The capacity, if unspecified, is equal to Integer.MAX_VALUE. Linked nodes are dynamically created upon each insertion unless this would bring the deque above capacity.
Most operations run in constant time (ignoring time spent blocking). Exceptions include #remove(java.lang.Object), #removeFirstOccurrence, #removeLastOccurrence, #contains, #iterator, and the bulk operations, all of which run in linear time.
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.

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; 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().
| Parameters |
<T> |
the component type of the array to contain the collection |
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 |
Array<T> |
an array containing all of the elements in this deque |
| Exceptions |
java.lang.ArrayStoreException |
if the runtime type of the specified array is not a supertype of the runtime type of every element in this deque |
java.lang.NullPointerException |
if the specified array is null |
toString
open fun toString(): String
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 by String.valueOf(Object).
| Return |
String |
a string representation of the object. |
Properties

Returns the number of elements in this deque.
| Return |
Int |
