Difference Between ArrayBlockingQueue and ArrayDeque
ArrayBlockingQueue stores elements in FIFO order. Insertion of element always happened at the tail of the queue and removal of the element always happened from the head of the queue. It is thread safe and It is bounded array queue therefore once created, the capacity cannot be changed. It is the implementation of the Blocking queue.
As per Java Docs −
Resizable-array implementation of the Deque interface. Array deques have no capacity restrictions; they grow as necessary to support usage. They are not thread-safe; in the absence of external synchronization, they do not support concurrent access by multiple threads. Null elements are prohibited. This class is likely to be faster than Stack when used as a stack, and faster than LinkedList when used as a queue.
Sr. No. | Key | ArrayBlockingQueue | ArrayDeque |
---|---|---|---|
1 |
Basic |
It implements BlockingQueue interface |
It implements Deque interface |
2 | Bounded |
It is bounded array queue. Therefore Once created, the capacity cannot be change |
It is resizable-array implementation of the Deque |
3 | Thread Safe |
It is thread safe |
It is not thread safe |
4 |
Insertion /Removal |
Insertion of element always happened at the tail of the queue and removal of the element always happened from the head of the queue |
It supports element insertion and removal at both ends |
