LinkedBlockingDeque poll() method in Java

Last Updated : 14 Sep, 2018

The poll() method of LinkedBlockingDeque returns the front element in the Deque container and deletes it. It returns null if the container is empty.

Syntax:

public E poll()

Parameters: This method does not accept any parameters.

Returns: This method returns front element of the Deque container if the container is not empty and deletes it. It returns null if the container is empty.

Below programs illustrate poll() method of LinkedBlockingDeque:

Program 1:

   // Java Program Demonstrate poll() 
// method of LinkedBlockingDeque 
  
import java.util.concurrent.LinkedBlockingDeque; 
import java.util.*; 
  
public class GFG { 
    public static void main(String[] args) 
  
    { 
  
        // create object of LinkedBlockingDeque 
        LinkedBlockingDeque<Integer> LBD 
            = new LinkedBlockingDeque<Integer>(); 
  
        // Add numbers to end of LinkedBlockingDeque 
        LBD.add(7855642); 
        LBD.add(35658786); 
        LBD.add(5278367); 
        LBD.add(74381793); 
  
        // Print the queue 
        System.out.println("Linked Blocking Deque: " + LBD); 
  
        System.out.println("Front element in Deque: " + LBD.poll()); 
  
        // One element is deleted as poll was called 
        System.out.println("Linked Blocking Deque: " + LBD); 
    } 
} 
 
  

Output:

  Linked Blocking Deque: [7855642, 35658786, 5278367, 74381793]  Front element in Deque: 7855642  Linked Blocking Deque: [35658786, 5278367, 74381793]

Program 2:

   // Java Program Demonstrate poll() 
// method of LinkedBlockingDeque 
// when Deque is empty 
  
import java.util.concurrent.LinkedBlockingDeque; 
import java.util.*; 
  
public class GFG { 
    public static void main(String[] args) 
  
    { 
  
        // create object of LinkedBlockingDeque 
        LinkedBlockingDeque<Integer> LBD 
            = new LinkedBlockingDeque<Integer>(); 
  
        // Add numbers to end of LinkedBlockingDeque 
        LBD.add(7855642); 
        LBD.add(35658786); 
        LBD.add(5278367); 
        LBD.add(74381793); 
  
        // Print the queue 
        System.out.println("Linked Blocking Deque: " + LBD); 
  
        // empty deque 
        LBD.clear(); 
  
        System.out.println("Front element in Deque: " + LBD.poll()); 
    } 
} 
 
  

Output:

  Linked Blocking Deque: [7855642, 35658786, 5278367, 74381793]  Front element in Deque: null
