Interface ShortPriorityQueue

All Superinterfaces:
PriorityQueue<Short>
All Known Implementing Classes:
AbstractShortPriorityQueue, ShortArrayPriorityQueue, ShortHeapPriorityQueue, ShortPriorityQueues.SynchronizedPriorityQueue

public interface ShortPriorityQueue
extends PriorityQueue<Short>

A type-specific PriorityQueue; provides some additional methods that use polymorphism to avoid (un)boxing.

Additionally, this interface strengthens comparator().


Method Summary
 ShortComparator comparator()
          Returns the comparator associated with this sorted set, or null if it uses its elements' natural ordering.
 short dequeueShort()
          Dequeues the first element from the queue.
 void enqueue(short x)
          Enqueues a new element.
 short firstShort()
          Returns the front element of the queue.
 short lastShort()
          Returns the rear element of the queue, that is, the element the would be dequeued last (optional operation).

Method Detail

enqueue

void enqueue(short x)
Enqueues a new element.

Parameters:
x - the element to enqueue..

dequeueShort

short dequeueShort()
Dequeues the first element from the queue.

Returns:
the dequeued element.
Throws:
NoSuchElementException - if the queue is empty.

firstShort

short firstShort()
Returns the front element of the queue.

Returns:
the front element.
Throws:
NoSuchElementException - if the queue is empty.

lastShort

short lastShort()
Returns the rear element of the queue, that is, the element the would be dequeued last (optional operation).

Returns:
the rear element.
Throws:
NoSuchElementException - if the queue is empty.

comparator

ShortComparator comparator()
Returns the comparator associated with this sorted set, or null if it uses its elements' natural ordering.

Note that this specification strengthens the one given in PriorityQueue.comparator().

Specified by:
comparator in interface PriorityQueue<Short>
Returns:
the comparator associated with this sorted set, or null if it uses its elements' natural ordering.
