The addFirst(E e) method of LinkedBlockingDeque inserts the element passed in the parameter to the front of the Deque if there is space. If the LinkedBlockingDeque is capacity restricted and no space is left for insertion, it returns an IllegalStateException.
Syntax:
public void addFirst(E e)
Parameters: This method accepts a mandatory parameter e which is the element to be inserted in the front of the LinkedBlockingDeque.
Returns: This method does not returns anything.
Exception:
- IllegalStateException: if the element cannot be added at this time due to capacity restrictions
- NullPointerException: if the specified element is null
Below programs illustrate addFirst() method of PriorityBlockingQueue:
Program 1:
// Java Program Demonstrate addFirst()// method of LinkedBlockingDeque  import java.util.concurrent.LinkedBlockingDeque;import java.util.*;  public class GFG {    public static void main(String[] args)        throws IllegalStateException    {          // create object of LinkedBlockingDeque        LinkedBlockingDeque<Integer> LBD            = new LinkedBlockingDeque<Integer>();          // Add numbers to front of LinkedBlockingDeque        LBD.addFirst(7855642);        LBD.addFirst(35658786);        LBD.addFirst(5278367);        LBD.addFirst(74381793);          // before removing print queue        System.out.println("Linked Blocking Deque: " + LBD);    }} |
Output:
Linked Blocking Deque: [74381793, 5278367, 35658786, 7855642]
Program 2:
