Java ConcurrentLinkedQueue removeIf() Method

The removeIf() method of ConcurrentLinkedQueue class removes the elements of this queue that satisfies the given predicate filter.

Syntax:

Parameters:

The parameter filter is a predicate which returns true for the elements to be removed.

Specified By:

The removeIf() method of ConcurrentLinkedQueue class is specified by:

removeIf in interface Collection<E>.

Return Value:

The removeIf () method returns a Boolean value 'true' if the collection has removed any element, else it returns 'false'.

Throws:

It throws NullPointerException if the specified filter is null.

Example 1

import java.util.concurrent.ConcurrentLinkedQueue;
import java.util.function.Predicate;
public class ConcurrentLinkedQueueRemoveIfExample1 {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        ConcurrentLinkedQueue<Integer> queue = new ConcurrentLinkedQueue<Integer>();
        for (int i=1;i<21;i++){
            queue.add(i);}
        System.out.println("Total no : "+ queue);
        //removes all the elements which satisfies the predicate filter
        Predicate<Integer> pr= a->(a>10);
        queue.removeIf(pr );
        System.out.println(" Number less than 11 = "+queue);
    }
}

Test it Now

Output:

Total no : [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20]
 Number less than 11 = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]

Example 2

import java.util.concurrent.ConcurrentLinkedQueue;
import java.util.function.Predicate;
public class ConcurrentLinkedQueueRemoveIfExample2 {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        ConcurrentLinkedQueue<IsVoter> queue = new ConcurrentLinkedQueue<IsVoter>();
        IsVoter isVoter1 = new IsVoter("Reema",18);
        IsVoter isVoter2 = new IsVoter("Raj",7);
        IsVoter isVoter3 = new IsVoter("Kajol",37);
        IsVoter isVoter4 = new IsVoter("Ravi",47);
        IsVoter isVoter5 = new IsVoter("Varun",17);
        queue.add(isVoter1);
        queue.add(isVoter2);
        queue.add(isVoter3);
        queue.add(isVoter4);
        queue.add(isVoter5);
        //removes all the elements which satisfies the Predicate filter
        Predicate<IsVoter> pr= (IsVoter age) ->(age.age < 18);
        queue.removeIf(pr );
        System.out.println(" People eligible to vote : ");
        for (IsVoter xyz : queue ){
            System.out.println(xyz);
        }
    }
}
class IsVoter {
    String name;
    int age;
    public IsVoter(String name, int age) {
        this.name = name;
        this.age = age;
    }
    public String toString() {
        return "Name = " + this.name + "  Age = " + this.age;
    }
}

Test it Now

Output:

People eligible to vote : 
Name = Reema  Age = 18
Name = Kajol  Age = 37
Name = Ravi  Age = 47
