ConcurrentLinkedQueue isEmpty() method

Last Updated on March 11, 2022 by Ria Pathak

Introduction

ConcurrentLinkedQueue class in java extends AbstractQueue interface and implements Queue interface. This class was added in Java 5. ConcurrentLinkedQueue class is a member of the collections framework in java.

ConcurrentLinkedQueue class is a thread-safe queue which is unbounded. It is based on linked nodes. This queue follows the FIFO principle. This queue orders elements in FIFO (first-in-first-out) order.

Please check out this article to learn more about ConcurrentLinkedQueue.

ConcurrentLinkedQueue isEmpty() method

This method is used to check whether a queue is empty or not:

• If the ConcurrentLinkedQueue is empty (contain zero number of element), then it will return true.
• Else, it will return false.

Syntax:
public boolean isEmpty()

Return Value:
It will return true when the concurrentLinkedQueue is empty, otherwise false.

Example 1

import java.util.concurrent.*;

public class Prepbytes {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        ConcurrentLinkedQueue queue = new ConcurrentLinkedQueue();

        queue.add(1);
        queue.add(2);
        queue.add(3);
        queue.add(4);

        System.out.println("Original ConcurrentLinkedQueue: " + queue);


        boolean check = queue.isEmpty();

        System.out.println("Is Empty: " + check);
    }
}

Output

Original ConcurrentLinkedQueue: [1, 2, 3, 4]
Is Empty: false

Example 2

import java.util.concurrent.*;

public class Pepbytes {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        ConcurrentLinkedQueue queue = new ConcurrentLinkedQueue();

        System.out.println("Original ConcurrentLinkedQueue: " + queue);

        boolean check = queue.isEmpty();

        System.out.println("Is Empty : " + check);
    }
}

Output

Original ConcurrentLinkedQueue: []
Is Empty : true
