ArrayBlockingQueue remove() method in Java

The remove() method of the ArrayBlockingQueue class in Java is used to remove a single instance of the specified element from this queue.

The syntax is as follows

boolean remove(Object ele)

Here, ele is the element to be removed from the queue. To work with ArrayBlockingQueue class, you need to import the following package

import java.util.concurrent.ArrayBlockingQueue;

The following is an example to implement remove() method of Java ArrayBlockingQueue class

Example

 Live Demo

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Iterator; import java.util.concurrent.ArrayBlockingQueue;
public class Demo {
   public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException {
      ArrayBlockingQueue<Integer> q = new ArrayBlockingQueue<Integer>(10);
      q.add(120);
      q.add(10);
      q.add(400);
      q.add(450);
      q.add(500);
      q.add(550);
      q.add(700);
      System.out.println("ArrayBlockingQueue = " + q);
      q.remove();
      System.out.println("Updated ArrayBlockingQueue = " + q);
   }
}

Output

ArrayBlockingQueue = [120, 10, 400, 450, 500, 550, 700]
Updated ArrayBlockingQueue = [10, 400, 450, 500, 550, 700]
