The
removeIf() method of
java.util.concurrent.LinkedTransferQueue is an in-built function is Java which is used to remove all of the elements of this queue that satisfies a given predicate filter which is passed as a parameter to the method.
Syntax:
public boolean removeIf(Predicate filter)
Parameters: This method takes a parameter filter which represents a
predicate which defines the filtering criteria for elements to be removed.
Return Value: This method returns a boolean value depicting if some the specified element has been removed. It returns True if the predicate returns true and the elements have been removed.
Exceptions: This method throws
NullPointerException if the specified filter is null.
Below program illustrates the removeIf() function of LinkedTransferQueue class :
Program 1:
Java
// Java code to illustrate
// removeIf() method of LinkedTransferQueue
import java.util.concurrent.LinkedTransferQueue;
import java.util.*;
public class GFG {
public static void main(String[] args)
throws InterruptedException
{
// create object of LinkedTransferQueue
LinkedTransferQueue<Integer> LTQ
= new LinkedTransferQueue<Integer>();
// Add numbers to end of LinkedTransferQueue
// using add() method
LTQ.add(6);
LTQ.add(3);
LTQ.add(5);
LTQ.add(15);
LTQ.add(20);
// Print the LTQ
System.out.println("Linked Transfer Queue initially: "
+ LTQ);
// Remove all multiple of 3
// using removeIf() method
if (LTQ.removeIf(n -> (n % 3 == 0)))
System.out.println("Multiples of 3 removed.");
else
System.out.println("No element removed.");
// Print the LTQ
System.out.println("Current Linked Transfer Queue: "
+ LTQ);
}
}
Output:
Linked Transfer Queue initially: [6, 3, 5, 15, 20]
Multiples of 3 removed.
Current Linked Transfer Queue: [5, 20]
Program 2: To demonstrate NullPointerException
Java
// Java code to illustrate
// removeIf() method of LinkedTransferQueue
import java.util.concurrent.LinkedTransferQueue;
import java.util.*;
public class GFG {
public static void main(String[] args)
throws InterruptedException
{
// create object of LinkedTransferQueue
LinkedTransferQueue<Integer> LTQ
= new LinkedTransferQueue<Integer>();
// Add numbers to end of LinkedTransferQueue
// using add() method
LTQ.add(6);
LTQ.add(3);
LTQ.add(5);
LTQ.add(15);
LTQ.add(20);
// Print the LTQ
System.out.println("Linked Transfer Queue initially: "
+ LTQ);
try {
// Remove all multiple of 3
// using removeIf() method
System.out.println("Trying to remove null.");
LTQ.removeIf(null);
}
catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println(e);
}
}
}
Output:
Linked Transfer Queue initially: [6, 3, 5, 15, 20]
Trying to remove null.
java.lang.NullPointerException
