Java ArrayBlockingQueue removeAll() Method

The removeAll() method of Java ArrayBlockingQueue class removes the elements of the ArrayBlockingQueue which are contained in the specified collection.

Syntax:

Parameters:

Here, the parameter c is the collection containing elements to be removed from ArrayBlockingQueue.

Specified By:

The removeAll () method of ArrayBlockingQueue class is specified by:

removeAll in interface Collection<E>.

Return Value:

The removeAll () method returns a Boolean value 'true' if the collection has changed as a result of the call, else it returns 'false'.

Throws:

It throws NullPointerException, if the specified collection does not support null elements or it contains one or more null elements.

Example 1

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.concurrent.ArrayBlockingQueue;

public class ArrayBlockingQueueRemoveAllExample1 {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException {
        List<Integer> list = new ArrayList<Integer>();
        int capacity = 100;
        ArrayBlockingQueue<Integer> queue = new ArrayBlockingQueue<Integer>(capacity);
       for (int i=1;i<11;i++){
        queue.add(i);}
        System.out.println("Total no : "+ queue);
        for (int i=1;i<11;i++){
            i=i+1;
            list.add(i);}
     //removes all the elements int the queue which are present in list
       queue.removeAll(list);
        System.out.println(" Even no : "+list);
        System.out.println(" Odd no : "+queue);
    }
}

Output:

Total no : [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]
Even no : [2, 4, 6, 8, 10]
Odd no : [1, 3, 5, 7, 9]

Example 2

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.concurrent.ArrayBlockingQueue;

class Patients{
    String Pname;
    public Patients(String pname) {
        Pname = pname;
    }
    public String toString(){
        return this.Pname;
    }
}
public class ArrayBlockingQueueRemoveAllExample2 {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Patients patient1 = new Patients("Megha");
        Patients patient2 = new Patients("Reema");
        Patients patient3 = new Patients("Supriya");
        Patients patient4 = new Patients("Anoop");
        Patients patient5 = new Patients("Sonia");
        Patients patient6 = new Patients("Tejashvi");
        List<Patients> list = new ArrayList<Patients>();
        int capacity = 100;
        ArrayBlockingQueue<Patients> queue = new ArrayBlockingQueue<Patients>(capacity);
        queue.add(patient1);
        queue.add(patient2);
        queue.add(patient3);
        queue.add(patient4);
        queue.add(patient5);
        queue.add(patient6);
        list.add(patient1);
        list.add(patient2);
        list.add(patient3);
        list.add(patient4);
        System.out.println("Total Patients = "+queue.size());
        for(Patients xyz : queue){
            System.out.println(xyz);
        }
        System.out.println();
        System.out.println("Patients recovered and discharged : "+list);
        System.out.println();
        //removes all the elements int the queue which are present in list
        queue.removeAll(list);
        System.out.println("Patients left in the hospital = "+queue.size());
        for (Patients xyz : queue) {
            System.out.println(xyz);
        }
    }
}

Output:

Total Patients = 6
Megha
Reema
Supriya
Anoop
Sonia
Tejashvi

Patients recovered and discharged : [Megha, Reema, Supriya, Anoop]

Patients left in the hospital = 2
Sonia
Tejashvi

Example 3

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.concurrent.ArrayBlockingQueue;

public class ArrayBlockingQueueRemoveAllExample3 {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        List<Integer> list = new ArrayList<Integer>();
        int capacity = 100;
        ArrayBlockingQueue<Integer> queue = new ArrayBlockingQueue<Integer>(capacity);
        queue.add(123);
        queue.add(56);
        queue.add(100);
        System.out.println("Queue = "+queue);
        queue.removeAll(null);
        System.out.println("List = "+list);
    }
}

Output:

Queue = [123, 56, 100]
