Which Queue implementation to use in Java?
- by devoured elysium
I need to use a FIFO structure in my application. It needs to have at most 5 elements.
I'd like to have something easy to use (I don't care for concurrency) that implements the Collection interface.
I've tried the LinkedList, that seems to come from Queue, but it doesn't seem to allow me to set it's maximum capacity. It feels as if I just want at max 5 elements but try to add 20, it will just keep increasing in size to fit it. I'd like something that'd work the following way:
XQueue<Integer> queue = new XQueue<Integer>(5); //where 5 is the maximum number of elements I want in my queue.
for (int i = 0; i < 10; ++i) {
queue.offer(i);
}
for (int i = 0; i < 5; ++i) {
System.out.println(queue.poll());
}
That'd print:
5
6
7
8
9
Thanks
