Hierarchy

Constructors of LinkedBlockingQueue

LinkedBlockingQueue(): This will create a BlockingQueue with an initial capacity of Integer.MAX_VALUE.

We created a Linked Blocking Queue in this article, added some integers, and printed the output.
 

LinkedBlockingQueue(int capacity): This will create a LinkedBlocklingQueue with the given fixed capacity passed as a parameter.

LinkedBlockingQueue<E> lbq = new LinkedBlockingQueue(int capacity);

In this example, we have created a Linked Blocking Queue and used some methods to add the elements and print the output.

Methods of Linked Blocking Queue

Basic Operations

Adding Elements

The function add(E e) in the Linked Blocking Queue which inserts the element passed as a parameter. It adds the elements at the tail of this Linked Blocking Queue.

Code

import java.util.concurrent.LinkedBlockingQueue;
public class AddElements {


public static void main(String[] args) {
int capacity = 10;
  
    LinkedBlockingQueue<Integer> lbq = new LinkedBlockingQueue<Integer>(capacity);
  
        lbq.add(1);
        lbq.add(2);
        lbq.add(3);

        System.out.println("LinkedBlockingQueue:" + lbq);
    }
}

Run Code

Output

LinkedBlockingQueue:[1, 2, 3]

In this example, we have used an inbuilt method to add the elements in the linked blocking queue.

Removing Elements

The remove(Object e) is the method that removes only one instance of the given object which is passed as a parameter.

Code

import java.util.concurrent.LinkedBlockingQueue;
public class RemoveElements {


public static void main(String[] args) {
int capacity = 15;


        LinkedBlockingQueue<Integer> lbq = new LinkedBlockingQueue<Integer>(capacity);
  
        lbq.add(1);
        lbq.add(2);
        lbq.add(3);


        System.out.println("LinkedBlockingQueue:" + lbq);


        lbq.clear();


        System.out.println("LinkedBlockingQueue:" + lbq);
    }
}

FAQs

1. What is LinkedBlockingQueue in Java?
   It is an optionally bounded blocking queue that is based on Linked nodes.
    
2. What is a blocking queue in Java?
   A blocking queue indicates that the Queue accessing the thread is full or becomes empty.
    
3. What happens when a thread is blocked in a Queue?
   A thread tries to enqueue an element in a full queue that is blocked until some or another thread makes space in the Queue.
