The Java.util.ArrayDeque.offer(
Object element) method in Java is used to add a specific element at the end of the Deque. The function is similar to the offerLast() method of ArrayDeque in Java.
Syntax:
Array_Deque.offer(Object element)
Parameters: The parameter
element is of the type ArrayDeque and refers to the element to be added at the end of the Deque.
Return Value: The function returns True if the element is successfully added into the deque else it returns false.
Exceptions: The method throws
NullPointerException if the passed parameter is NULL.
Below programs illustrate the Java.util.ArrayDeque.offer() method:
Program 1: Adding String elements into the Deque.
Java
// Java code to illustrate offer()
import java.util.*;
public class ArrayDequeDemo {
public static void main(String args[])
{
// Creating an empty ArrayDeque
Deque<String> de_que = new ArrayDeque<String>();
// Use add() method to add elements into the Deque
de_que.add("Welcome");
de_que.add("To");
de_que.add("Geeks");
de_que.add("4");
de_que.add("Geeks");
// Displaying the ArrayDeque
System.out.println("Initial Deque: " + de_que);
// Using offer() to add elements
de_que.offer("Hello");
de_que.offer("World");
// Displaying the ArrayDeque
System.out.println("Final Deque: " + de_que);
}
}
Output:
Initial Deque: [Welcome, To, Geeks, 4, Geeks]
Final Deque: [Welcome, To, Geeks, 4, Geeks, Hello, World]
Program 2: Adding Integer elements into the Deque.
Java
// Java code to illustrate offer()
import java.util.*;
public class ArrayDequeDemo {
public static void main(String args[])
{
// Creating an empty ArrayDeque
Deque<Integer> de_que = new ArrayDeque<Integer>();
// Use add() method to add elements into the Deque
de_que.add(10);
de_que.add(15);
de_que.add(30);
de_que.add(20);
de_que.add(5);
// Displaying the ArrayDeque
System.out.println("Initial Deque: " + de_que);
// Using offer() to add elements
de_que.offer(1658);
de_que.offer(2458);
// Displaying the ArrayDeque
System.out.println("Final Deque: " + de_que);
}
}
Output:
Initial Deque: [10, 15, 30, 20, 5]
Final Deque: [10, 15, 30, 20, 5, 1658, 2458]
