Description:
[
GenericAccessors ]
public interface Deque<
G> :
Queue<
G>
A double-ended queue.
A deque can be used either as a queue (First-In-First-Out behavior) or as a stack (Last-In-First-Out behavior).
The methods defined by this interface behaves exactely in the same way as the Queue
methods with respect to capacity bounds.
The Deque interface inherits from the Queue interface. Thus, to use a deque as a queue,
you can equivalently use the following method set:
To use a deque as a stack, just use the method set that acts at the head of the deque:
| Operation |
Deque method |
| push an element |
offer_head |
| peek an element |
peek_head |
| pop an element |
poll_head |
