The take() method of BlockingDeque returns and removes the head of the Deque container from it. The method throws an InterruptedException if it is interrupted while waiting.
Syntax:
public E take()
Returns: This method returns the head of the Deque container.
Exception: The function throws a InterruptedException if it is interrupted while waiting.
Note: The take() method of BlockingDeque has been inherited from the LinkedBlockingDeque class in Java.
Below programs illustrate take() method of BlockingDeque:
Program 1:
// Java Program to demonstrate take() // method of LinkedBlockingDeque import java.util.concurrent.LinkedBlockingDeque; import java.util.concurrent.BlockingDeque; import java.util.*; public class GFG { public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException { // create object of BlockingDeque BlockingDeque<Integer> BD = new LinkedBlockingDeque<Integer>(); // Add numbers to end of BlockingDeque BD.add( 7855642 ); BD.add( 35658786 ); BD.add( 5278367 ); BD.add( 74381793 ); // print Deque System.out.println( "Blocking Deque: " + BD); // removes the front element and prints it System.out.println( "Head of Blocking Deque: " + BD.take()); // prints the Deque System.out.println( "Blocking Deque: " + BD); } } |
Output:
Blocking Deque: [7855642, 35658786, 5278367, 74381793] Head of Blocking Deque: 7855642 Blocking Deque: [35658786, 5278367, 74381793]
Program 2: To demonstrate InterruptedException
// Java Program to demonstrate take() // method of BlockingDeque import java.util.concurrent.LinkedBlockingDeque; import java.util.concurrent.BlockingDeque; import java.util.*; public class GFG { public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException { // create object of BlockingDeque BlockingDeque<Integer> BD = new LinkedBlockingDeque<Integer>(); // print Dequeue // the Deque is empty System.out.println( "Blocking Deque: " + BD); try { // throws error as the list is empty // and it is interrupted while waiting System.out.println( "Head of Blocking Deque: " + BD.take()); } catch (Exception e) { System.out.println( "Exception: " + e); } } } |
Runtime Errors:
Max real time limit exceeded due to either by heavy load on server or by using sleep function.
