Pictorial Presentation

Example: Java ArrayDeque Class: offer() Method

import java.util.ArrayDeque;
import java.util.Deque;

public class Main {
   public static void main(String[] args) {
      
      // Create an empty array deque 
      Deque<Integer> deque = new ArrayDeque<Integer>(8);

      // Use add() method to add elements in the deque
      deque.add(20);
      deque.add(30);
      deque.add(40);
      deque.add(35);        
      
      // Print all the elements of the original deque
      System.out.println("Elements of the original deque:");
      for (Integer n : deque) {
         System.out.println(n);
      }

      // Insert 50 at the end of the deque using offer() method.
      deque.offer(50);

      // Print all the elements available in deque
      System.out.println("Elements of the deque after insert an element at the end of the deque:");
      for (Integer n : deque) {
         System.out.println(n);
      }
   }
}

Output:

Elements of the original deque:
20
30
40
35
Elements of the deque after insert an element at the end of the deque:
