Code: FIFO List in JavaFebruary 25th, 2006 One of the common questions I hear from Java newcomers is - where is a FIFO list in Java?
Java does have a FIFO list capability built-in with LinkedList and ArrayList, but they are not well advertized. A FIFO interface should at least have:
public interface FIFO {
/** Add an object to the end of the FIFO queue */
boolean add(Object o);
/** Remove an object from the front of the FIFO queue */
Object remove();
/** Return the number of elements in the FIFO queue */
int size();
}
A FIFOList class implementing the above would simply be:
public class FIFOList extends LinkedList implements FIFO {
public Object remove() {
return remove(0);
}
}
I prefer this setup instead of using a LinkedList.remove(0) directly.
