LinkedTransferQueue poll() method in Java

Last Updated : 14 Sep, 2018

The java.util.concurrent.LinkedTransferQueue.poll() method is an in-built function in Java which retrieves and remove the head of the queue if the queue is non-empty.

Syntax:

LinkedTransferQueue.poll()

Parameters: The function does not accept any parameter.

Return Value: The function returns the head of the queue if the queue is non-empty, otherwise it returns null.

Below programs illustrate the LinkedTransferQueue.poll() method:

Program 1:

/* Java Program Demonstrate poll() 
   method of LinkedTransferQueue */
  
import java.util.concurrent.LinkedTransferQueue; 
  
class LinkedTransferQueuePollExample1 { 
    public static void main(String[] args) 
    { 
        // Initializing the queue 
        LinkedTransferQueue<Character> queue =  
                       new LinkedTransferQueue<Character>(); 
  
        // Adding elements to this queue 
        for (char ch = 'A'; ch <= 'Z'; ch++) { 
            queue.add(ch); 
        } 
  
        // Printing the head of the queue 
        System.out.println("The head of the queue is " 
                                           + queue.poll()); 
  
        // Printing remaining elements of the queue 
        System.out.println("The elements in the queue :"); 
        for (Character i : queue) 
            System.out.print(i + " "); 
    } 
} 

Output:

The head of the queue is A
The elements in the queue :
B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

Program 2:

/* Java Program Demonstrate poll() 
   method of LinkedTransferQueue */
  
import java.util.concurrent.LinkedTransferQueue; 
  
class LinkedTransferQueuePollExample2 { 
    public static void main(String[] args) 
    { 
        // Initializing the queue 
        LinkedTransferQueue<Integer> queue =  
                     new LinkedTransferQueue<Integer>(); 
  
        // Adding elements to this queue 
        for (int i = 10; i <= 50; i += 10) 
            queue.add(i); 
  
        // Printing the head of the queue 
        System.out.println("The head of the queue is " 
                                           + queue.poll()); 
  
        // Printing remaining elements of the queue 
        System.out.println("The elements in the queue :"); 
        for (Integer i : queue) 
            System.out.print(i + " "); 
    } 
} 

Output:

The head of the queue is 10
The elements in the queue :
20 30 40 50
