import java.util.LinkedList;
import java.util.Queue;

public class QueueDemo {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
	//
	// Create an instance of a queue, ere we use the LinkedList class which 
	// implements the Queue interface. Add some elements to the queue using 
	// the offer method. 
	//
	Queue queue = new LinkedList();
	queue.offer("First visitor");
	queue.offer("Second visitor");
	queue.offer("Third visitor");
	queue.offer("Fourth visitor");

	//
	// Let see the size of our queue
	//
	System.out.println("Size: " + queue.size());
	
	//
	// The peek and element method read the head of the queue without removing
	// the element. The difference is, if the queue is empty peek method 
	// return null while element method throws a NoSuchElementException
	// exception.
	//
	System.out.println("Queue head using peek   : " + queue.peek());
	System.out.println("Queue head using element: " + queue.element());
	
	//
	// The poll method retrieves and then removes the head of the queue.
	// On the next code will process all the element of the queue. When no
	// item in the queue the poll method will return null.
	//
	Object data;
	while ((data = queue.poll()) != null) {
	    System.out.println(data);
	}
    }
}
