DelayQueue peek() method in Java with Examples

The peek() method of DelayQueue is used to retrieve head of the DelayQueue, but does not remove it, as in case of poll() method where head is removed from the DelayQueue.

Syntax:

public E peek ()

Parameters:
This method does not accept any parameter.

Returns:
This method returns the head of the DelayQueue and does not remove it from this DelayQueue.

Exception:
Null Pointer Exception: if head is not present, this function will return null.



Below program to illustrate DelayQueue peek() in Java:

Example 1:

        // peek() method for returning head of the DelayQueue
  
        System.out.println("Head of the DelayQueue: "
                           + DQ.peek());
        // print DelayQueue
        System.out.println("\nAfter peek() method, DelayQueue: "
                           + DQ);
    }
}

                        filter_none









Output:


Original DelayQueue: [
{ A, time=1545817334485}, 
{ B, time=1545817334486}, 
{ C, time=1545817334487}, 
{ D, time=1545817334488}]

Head of the DelayQueue: 
{ A, time=1545817334485}

After peek() method, DelayQueue: [
{ A, time=1545817334485}, 
{ B, time=1545817334486}, 
{ C, time=1545817334487}, 
{ D, time=1545817334488}]
