Algorithm and Data Structure

Call add() method for addition of the elements to Queue. This is an inherited type of method of Collection interface.

Different elements are added to a Queue which is explained by this given code.

Java Code: This is the code to explain add operation in Java Queue

Queue myQueue = new LinkedList();
myQueue.add("element 1");
myQueue.add("element 2");
myQueue.add("element 3");

In a Queue, added elements get stored in internal order and they are dependent upon implementation. Same happens with element retrieval.

To get 1st element from queue, use this code:

Java Code: This is the code to get first element of Java Queue

Object firstElement = myQueue.element();

For removing or taking the 1st element, removal method is used. Following code explains it.

Java Code: This is the code to remove elements from Java Queue

Queue myQueue = new LinkedList();
myQueue.add("element 0");
myQueue.add("element 1");
myQueue.add("element 2");

//access via Iterator
Iterator iterator = myQueue.iterator();
while(iterator.hasNext(){
  String element = (String) iterator.next();
}

//access via new for-loop
for(Object object : myQueue) {
    String element = (String) object;
}
