LinkedBlockingDeque getFirst() method in Java
The getFirst() method of LinkedBlockingDeque returns the front most element in the Deque container. If the LinkedBlockingDeque is empty, then on function call it returns a NoSuchElementException.
Syntax:
public E getLast()
Parameters: This method does not accept any parameters.
Returns: This method returns the first element or the head of this Deque container.
Exception: The function throws only one exception i.e., NoSuchElementException when the deque is empty
Below programs illustrate getFirst() method of LinkedBlockingDeque:
Program 1:
// Java Program Demonstrate getFirst() // method of LinkedBlockingDeque import java.util.concurrent.LinkedBlockingDeque; import java.util.*; public class GFG { public static void main(String[] args) throws IllegalStateException { // create object of LinkedBlockingDeque LinkedBlockingDeque<Integer> LBD = new LinkedBlockingDeque<Integer>(); // Add numbers to front of LinkedBlockingDeque LBD.addFirst(7855642); LBD.addFirst(35658786); LBD.addFirst(5278367); LBD.addFirst(74381793); // before removing print queue System.out.println("Linked Blocking Deque: " + LBD); // prints the first element System.out.println("Linked Blocking Deque first element: " + LBD.getFirst()); } } |
Output:
Linked Blocking Deque: [74381793, 5278367, 35658786, 7855642] Linked Blocking Deque first element: 74381793
Program 2:
// Java Program Demonstrate getFirst() // method of LinkedBlockingDeque import java.util.concurrent.LinkedBlockingDeque; import java.util.*; public class GFG { public static void main(String[] args) throws IllegalStateException { // create object of LinkedBlockingDeque LinkedBlockingDeque<Integer> LBD = new LinkedBlockingDeque<Integer>(); // Add numbers to front of LinkedBlockingDeque LBD.addFirst(7855642); LBD.addFirst(35658786); LBD.addFirst(5278367); LBD.addFirst(74381793) LBD.clear(); // Since the container is empty it will throw exception System.out.println("Linked Blocking Deque first element: " + LBD.getFirst()); } } |
Output:
Exception in thread "main" java.util.NoSuchElementException
