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

public class ArrayDequeDemo {
   public static void main(String[] args) {
      
      // create an empty array deque with an initial capacity
      Deque<Integer> deque = new ArrayDeque<Integer>(8);

      // use add() method to add elements in the deque
      deque.add(25);
      deque.add(30);
      deque.add(20);
      deque.add(18);        

      // this will insert 10 at the front
      deque.offerFirst(10);

      // printing all the elements available in deque
      for (Integer number : deque) {
         System.out.println("Number = " + number);
      }
