Interface BytePriorityQueue

All Superinterfaces:
PriorityQueue<Byte>
All Known Implementing Classes:
AbstractBytePriorityQueue, ByteArrayFIFOQueue, ByteArrayPriorityQueue, ByteHeapPriorityQueue, BytePriorityQueues.SynchronizedPriorityQueue

public interface BytePriorityQueue
extends PriorityQueue<Byte>

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

Additionally, this interface strengthens comparator().


Method Summary
 ByteComparator comparator()
          Returns the comparator associated with this sorted set, or null if it uses its elements' natural ordering.
 byte dequeueByte()
          Dequeues the first element from the queue.
 void enqueue(byte x)
          Enqueues a new element.
 byte firstByte()
          Returns the first element of the queue.
 byte lastByte()
          Returns the last element of the queue, that is, the element the would be dequeued last (optional operation).

Method Detail

enqueue

void enqueue(byte x)
Enqueues a new element.

Parameters:
x - the element to enqueue.

dequeueByte

byte dequeueByte()
Dequeues the first element from the queue.

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

firstByte

byte firstByte()
Returns the first element of the queue.

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

lastByte

byte lastByte()
Returns the last element of the queue, that is, the element the would be dequeued last (optional operation).

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

comparator

ByteComparator 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<Byte>
Returns:
the comparator associated with this sorted set, or null if it uses its elements' natural ordering.
