ArrayDeque

public class ArrayDeque extends AbstractCollection implements Serializable, Cloneable, Deque
Resizable-array implementation of the {@link Deque} interface. Array deques have no capacity restrictions; they grow as necessary to support usage. They are not thread-safe; in the absence of external synchronization, they do not support concurrent access by multiple threads. Null elements are prohibited. This class is likely to be faster than {@link Stack} when used as a stack, and faster than {@link LinkedList} when used as a queue.

Most ArrayDeque operations run in amortized constant time. Exceptions include {@link #remove(Object) remove}, {@link #removeFirstOccurrence removeFirstOccurrence}, {@link #removeLastOccurrence removeLastOccurrence}, {@link #contains contains}, {@link #iterator iterator.remove()}, and the bulk operations, all of which run in linear time.

The iterators returned by this class's iterator method are fail-fast: If the deque is modified at any time after the iterator is created, in any way except through the iterator's own remove method, the iterator will generally throw a {@link ConcurrentModificationException}. Thus, in the face of concurrent modification, the iterator fails quickly and cleanly, rather than risking arbitrary, non-deterministic behavior at an undetermined time in the future.

Note that the fail-fast behavior of an iterator cannot be guaranteed as it is, generally speaking, impossible to make any hard guarantees in the presence of unsynchronized concurrent modification. Fail-fast iterators throw ConcurrentModificationException on a best-effort basis. Therefore, it would be wrong to write a program that depended on this exception for its correctness: the fail-fast behavior of iterators should be used only to detect bugs.

This class and its iterator implement all of the optional methods of the {@link Collection} and {@link Iterator} interfaces.

This class is a member of the Java Collections Framework.

param
the type of elements held in this collection

Fields Summary
private transient E[]
elements
The array in which the elements of the deque are stored. The capacity of the deque is the length of this array, which is always a power of two. The array is never allowed to become full, except transiently within an addX method where it is resized (see doubleCapacity) immediately upon becoming full, thus avoiding head and tail wrapping around to equal each other. We also guarantee that all array cells not holding deque elements are always null.
private transient int
head
The index of the element at the head of the deque (which is the element that would be removed by remove() or pop()); or an arbitrary number equal to tail if the deque is empty.
private transient int
tail
The index at which the next element would be added to the tail of the deque (via addLast(E), add(E), or push(E)).
private static final int
MIN_INITIAL_CAPACITY
The minimum capacity that we'll use for a newly created deque. Must be a power of 2.
private static final long
serialVersionUID
Appease the serialization gods.
Constructors Summary
public ArrayDeque()
Constructs an empty array deque with an initial capacity sufficient to hold 16 elements.

        elements = (E[]) new Object[16];
    
public ArrayDeque(int numElements)
Constructs an empty array deque with an initial capacity sufficient to hold the specified number of elements.

param
numElements lower bound on initial capacity of the deque

        allocateElements(numElements);
    
public ArrayDeque(Collection c)
Constructs a deque containing the elements of the specified collection, in the order they are returned by the collection's iterator. (The first element returned by the collection's iterator becomes the first element, or front of the deque.)

param
c the collection whose elements are to be placed into the deque
throws
NullPointerException if the specified collection is null

        allocateElements(c.size());
        addAll(c);

return
true (as specified by {@link Collection#add})
throws
NullPointerException if the specified element is null

        addLast(e);
        return true;

param
numElements the number of elements to hold


    // ******  Array allocation and resizing utilities ******

                            
        
        int initialCapacity = MIN_INITIAL_CAPACITY;
        // Find the best power of two to hold elements.
        // Tests "<=" because arrays aren't kept full.

            if (initialCapacity < 0)   // Too many elements, must back off
                initialCapacity >>>= 1;// Good luck allocating 2 ^ 30 elements
        }
        elements = (E[]) new Object[initialCapacity];
    
private voidcheckInvariants()

	assert elements[tail] == null;
	assert head == tail ? elements[head] == null :
	    (elements[head] != null &&
	     elements[(tail - 1) & (elements.length - 1)] != null);
	assert elements[(head - 1) & (elements.length - 1)] == null;
    
public voidclear()
Removes all of the elements from this deque. The deque will be empty after this call returns.

        int h = head;
        int t = tail;
        if (h != t) { // clear all cells
            head = tail = 0;

                i = (i + 1) & mask;
            } while (i != t);
        }
    
public java.util.ArrayDequeclone()
Returns a copy of this deque.

return
a copy of this deque

        try {
            ArrayDeque<E> result = (ArrayDeque<E>) super.clone();
            result.elements = Arrays.copyOf(elements, elements.length);
            return result;

        } catch (CloneNotSupportedException e) {
            throw new AssertionError();
        }
    
public booleancontains(java.lang.Object o)
Returns true if this deque contains the specified element. More formally, returns true if and only if this deque contains at least one element e such that o.equals(e).

param
o object to be checked for containment in this deque
return
true if this deque contains the specified element

        if (o == null)
            return false;
        int mask = elements.length - 1;
        int i = head;
        E x;
        while ( (x = elements[i]) != null) {
            if (o.equals(x))
                return true;
            i = (i + 1) & mask;
        }
        return false;
    
private T[]copyElements(T[] a)
Copies the elements from our element array into the specified array, in order (from first to last element in the deque). It is assumed that the array is large enough to hold all elements in the deque.

return
its argument

        if (head < tail) {
            System.arraycopy(elements, head, a, 0, size());
        } else if (head > tail) {

        }
        return a;
    
private booleandelete(int i)
Removes the element at the specified position in the elements array, adjusting head and tail as necessary. This can result in motion of elements backwards or forwards in the array.

This method is called delete rather than remove to emphasize that its semantics differ from those of {@link List#remove(int)}.

return
true if elements moved backwards

 	checkInvariants();
	final E[] elements = this.elements;
	final int mask = elements.length - 1;
	final int h = head;
	final int t = tail;
	final int front = (i - h) & mask;
	final int back  = (t - i) & mask;

	// Invariant: head <= i < tail mod circularity
	if (front >= ((t - h) & mask))
	    throw new ConcurrentModificationException();

	// Optimize for least element motion
	if (front < back) {
	    if (h <= i) {
		System.arraycopy(elements, h, elements, h + 1, front);
	    } else { // Wrap around
		System.arraycopy(elements, 0, elements, 1, i);
		elements[0] = elements[mask];
		System.arraycopy(elements, h, elements, h + 1, mask - h);
	    }
	    elements[h] = null;
	    head = (h + 1) & mask;
	    return false;
	} else {
	    if (i < t) { // Copy the null tail as well
		System.arraycopy(elements, i + 1, elements, i, back);
		tail = t - 1;
	    } else { // Wrap around
		System.arraycopy(elements, i + 1, elements, i, mask - i);
		elements[mask] = elements[0];
		System.arraycopy(elements, 1, elements, 0, t);
		tail = (t - 1) & mask;
	    }
	    return true;
	}
    
public java.util.IteratordescendingIterator()

        return new DescendingIterator();
    
private voiddoubleCapacity()
Double the capacity of this deque. Call only when full, i.e., when head and tail have wrapped around to become equal.

        assert head == tail;
        int p = head;
        int n = elements.length;
        int r = n - p; // number of elements to the right of p
        int newCapacity = n << 1;
        if (newCapacity < 0)
            throw new IllegalStateException("Sorry, deque too big");
        Object[] a = new Object[newCapacity];
        System.arraycopy(elements, p, a, 0, r);
        System.arraycopy(elements, 0, a, r, p);
        elements = (E[])a;
        head = 0;
        tail = n;
    
public Eelement()
Retrieves, but does not remove, the head of the queue represented by this deque. This method differs from {@link #peek peek} only in that it throws an exception if this deque is empty.

This method is equivalent to {@link #getFirst}.

return
the head of the queue represented by this deque
throws
NoSuchElementException {@inheritDoc}

        return getFirst();
    
public EgetFirst()

Returns true if this deque contains no elements.

return
true if this deque contains no elements

        return head == tail;
    
public java.util.Iteratoriterator()
Returns an iterator over the elements in this deque. The elements will be ordered from first (head) to last (tail). This is the same order that elements would be dequeued (via successive calls to {@link #remove} or popped (via successive calls to {@link #pop}).

return
an iterator over the elements in this deque

        return new DeqIterator();
    
public booleanoffer(E e)

        addLast(e);
        return true;
    
public Epeek()
Retrieves, but does not remove, the head of the queue represented by this deque, or returns null if this deque is empty.

This method is equivalent to {@link #peekFirst}.

return
the head of the queue represented by this deque, or null if this deque is empty

        return peekFirst();
    
public EpeekFirst()

        return elements[head]; // elements[head] is null if deque empty
    
public EpeekLast()

        return elements[(tail - 1) & (elements.length - 1)];
    
public Epoll()
Retrieves and removes the head of the queue represented by this deque (in other words, the first element of this deque), or returns null if this deque is empty.

This method is equivalent to {@link #pollFirst}.

return
the head of the queue represented by this deque, or null if this deque is empty

        return pollFirst();
    
public EpollFirst()

        int h = head;
        E result = elements[h]; // Element is null if deque empty
        if (result == null)
            return null;
        elements[h] = null;     // Must null out slot
        head = (h + 1) & (elements.length - 1);
        return result;
    
public EpollLast()

        int t = (tail - 1) & (elements.length - 1);

        elements[t] = null;
        tail = t;
        return result;
    
public Epop()
Pops an element from the stack represented by this deque. In other words, removes and returns the first element of this deque.

This method is equivalent to {@link #removeFirst()}.

return
the element at the front of this deque (which is the top of the stack represented by this deque)
throws
NoSuchElementException {@inheritDoc}

        return removeFirst();
    
public voidpush(E e)
Pushes an element onto the stack represented by this deque. In other words, inserts the element at the front of this deque.

NullPointerException if the specified element is null

        addFirst(e);
    
private voidreadObject(java.io.ObjectInputStream s)
Deserialize this deque.

        s.defaultReadObject();

        // Read in size and allocate array
        int size = s.readInt();
        allocateElements(size);
        head = 0;
        tail = size;

        for (int i = 0; i < size; i++)
            elements[i] = (E)s.readObject();
    
public Eremove()
Retrieves and removes the head of the queue represented by this deque. This method differs from {@link #poll poll} only in that it throws an exception if this deque is empty.

This method is equivalent to {@link #removeFirst}.

return
the head of the queue represented by this deque
throws
NoSuchElementException {@inheritDoc}

        return removeFirst();
    
public booleanremove(java.lang.Object o)
Removes a single instance of the specified element from this deque. If the deque does not contain the element, it is unchanged. More formally, removes the first element e such that o.equals(e) (if such an element exists). Returns true if this deque contained the specified element (or equivalently, if this deque changed as a result of the call).

This method is equivalent to {@link #removeFirstOccurrence}.

param
o element to be removed from this deque, if present
return
true if this deque contained the specified element

        return removeFirstOccurrence(o);
    
public EremoveFirst()

throws
NoSuchElementException {@inheritDoc}

        E x = pollFirst();
        if (x == null)
            throw new NoSuchElementException();
        return x;
    
public booleanremoveFirstOccurrence(java.lang.Object o)
Removes the first occurrence of the specified element in this deque (when traversing the deque from head to tail). If the deque does not contain the element, it is unchanged. More formally, removes the first element e such that o.equals(e) (if such an element exists). Returns true if this deque contained the specified element (or equivalently, if this deque changed as a result of the call).

param
o element to be removed from this deque, if present
return
true if the deque contained the specified element

        if (o == null)
            return false;
        int mask = elements.length - 1;
        int i = head;
        E x;
        while ( (x = elements[i]) != null) {
            if (o.equals(x)) {
                delete(i);
                return true;
            }
            i = (i + 1) & mask;
        }
        return false;
    
public EremoveLast()

throws
NoSuchElementException {@inheritDoc}

        E x = pollLast();
        if (x == null)
            throw new NoSuchElementException();
        return x;
    
public booleanremoveLastOccurrence(java.lang.Object o)
Removes the last occurrence of the specified element in this deque (when traversing the deque from head to tail). If the deque does not contain the element, it is unchanged. More formally, removes the last element e such that o.equals(e) (if such an element exists). Returns true if this deque contained the specified element (or equivalently, if this deque changed as a result of the call).

param
o element to be removed from this deque, if present
return
true if the deque contained the specified element

        if (o == null)
            return false;
        int mask = elements.length - 1;
        int i = (tail - 1) & mask;
        E x;
        while ( (x = elements[i]) != null) {
            if (o.equals(x)) {
                delete(i);
                return true;
            }

        }
        return false;
    
public intsize()
Returns the number of elements in this deque.

return
the number of elements in this deque

        return (tail - head) & (elements.length - 1);
    
public java.lang.Object[]toArray()
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
an array containing all of the elements in this deque

	return copyElements(new Object[size()]);
    
public T[]toArray(T[] a)
Returns an array containing all of the elements in this deque in proper sequence (from first to last element); 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 {@link #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:

String[] y = x.toArray(new String[0]);
Note that toArray(new Object[0]) is identical in function to toArray().

param
a 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
an array containing all of the elements in this deque
throws
ArrayStoreException if the runtime type of the specified array is not a supertype of the runtime type of every element in this deque
throws
NullPointerException if the specified array is null

        int size = size();
        if (a.length < size)
            a = (T[])java.lang.reflect.Array.newInstance(
                    a.getClass().getComponentType(), size);
	copyElements(a);
        if (a.length > size)
            a[size] = null;
        return a;
    
private voidwriteObject(java.io.ObjectOutputStream s)
Serialize this deque.

serialData
The current size (int) of the deque, followed by all of its elements (each an object reference) in first-to-last order.

        for (int i = head; i != tail; i = (i + 1) & mask)
            s.writeObject(elements[i]);
