Example: Java ArrayDeque Class: peekLast() 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);
      }

      // Retrieve head of the queue
      int val = deque.peekLast();
      System.out.println("Retrieved Element is " + val);

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

Output:

Elements of the original deque:
20
30
40
