Below programs illustrate remove() method:
Program 1:
// Java program to illustrate the// AbstractQueue remove() methodimport java.util.*;import java.util.concurrent.LinkedBlockingQueue; public class GFG1 { public static void main(String[] argv) throws Exception { // Creating object of AbstractQueue<Integer> AbstractQueue<Integer> AQ1 = new LinkedBlockingQueue<Integer>(); // Populating AQ1 AQ1.add(10); AQ1.add(20); AQ1.add(30); AQ1.add(40); AQ1.add(50); // print AQ System.out.println("AbstractQueue1 contains : " + AQ1); // retrieves the head int head = AQ1.remove(); System.out.println("head : " + head); // print AQ System.out.println("AbstractQueue1 after removal of head : " + AQ1); }} |
Output:
AbstractQueue1 contains : [10, 20, 30, 40, 50] head : 10 AbstractQueue1 after removal of head : [20, 30, 40, 50]
Program 2:
// Java program to illustrate the// AbstractQueue element() method// NoSuchElementException// Java program to illustrate the// AbstractQueue remove() methodimport java.util.*;import java.util.concurrent.LinkedBlockingQueue; public class GFG1 { public static void main(String[] argv) throws Exception { try { // Creating object of AbstractQueue<Integer> AbstractQueue<Integer> AQ1 = new LinkedBlockingQueue<Integer>(); // Populating AQ1 AQ1.add(10); // print AQ System.out.println("AbstractQueue1 contains : " + AQ1); // retrieves the head int head = AQ1.remove(); System.out.println("head : " + head); // retrieves the head again head = AQ1.remove(); System.out.println("head : " + head); } catch (Exception e) { System.out.println("Exception: " + e); } }} |
