ArrayDeque add() Method in Java

0 2 1 minute read

The Java.util.ArrayDeque.add(Object element) method in Java is used to add a specific element at the end of the Deque. The function is similar to the addLast() method of ArrayDeque in Java.

Syntax:

Array_Deque.add(Object element)

Parameters: The parameter element is of the type ArrayDeque and refers to the element to be added to the Deque.

Return Value: The function returns True if the element is successfully added into the deque else it returns false.

Exceptions: The method throws NullPointerException if the passed parameter is NULL.

Below programs illustrate the Java.util.ArrayDeque.add() method:
Program 1: Adding String elements into the Deque.

// Java code to illustrate add()
import java.util.*;
  
public class ArrayDequeDemo {
    public static void main(String args[])
    {
        // Creating an empty ArrayDeque
        Deque<String> de_que = new ArrayDeque<String>();
  
        // Use add() method to add elements into the Deque
        de_que.add("Welcome");
        de_que.add("To");
        de_que.add("Geeks");
        de_que.add("4");
        de_que.add("Geeks");
  
        // Displaying the ArrayDeque
        System.out.println("ArrayDeque: " + de_que);
    }
}

Output:

ArrayDeque: [Welcome, To, Geeks, 4, Geeks]

Program 2: Adding Integer elements into the Deque.

// Java code to illustrate add()
import java.util.*;
  
public class ArrayDequeDemo {
    public static void main(String args[])
    {
        // Creating an empty ArrayDeque
        Deque<Integer> de_que = new ArrayDeque<Integer>();
  
        // Use add() method to add elements into the Deque
        de_que.add(10);
        de_que.add(15);
        de_que.add(30);
        de_que.add(20);
        de_que.add(5);
  
        // Displaying the ArrayDeque
        System.out.println("ArrayDeque: " + de_que);
    }
}
