## Class CircularFifoQueue<E>

- java.lang.Object
- - java.util.AbstractCollection<E>
  - - org.apache.commons.collections4.queue.CircularFifoQueue<E>

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    Serializable, Iterable<E>, Collection<E>, Queue<E>, BoundedCollection<E>

      public class CircularFifoQueue<E>
      extends AbstractCollection<E>
      implements Queue<E>, BoundedCollection<E>, Serializable

  CircularFifoQueue is a first-in first-out queue with a fixed size that replaces its oldest element if full.

  The removal order of a `CircularFifoQueue` is based on the insertion order; elements are removed in the same order in which they were added. The iteration order is the same as the removal order.

  The `add(Object)`, `remove()`, `peek()`, `poll()`, `offer(Object)` operations all perform in constant time. All other operations perform in linear time or worse.

  This queue prevents null objects from being added.

- - ### Constructor Detail

    - #### CircularFifoQueue

          public CircularFifoQueue()

      Constructor that creates a queue with the default size of 32.

    - #### CircularFifoQueue

          public CircularFifoQueue(int size)

      Constructor that creates a queue with the specified size.
      Parameters:
        `size` - the size of the queue (cannot be changed)
      Throws:
        `IllegalArgumentException` - if the size is < 1

    - #### CircularFifoQueue

          public CircularFifoQueue(Collection<? extends E> coll)

      Constructor that creates a queue from the specified collection. The collection size also sets the queue size.
      Parameters:
        `coll` - the collection to copy into the queue, may not be null
      Throws:
        `NullPointerException` - if the collection is null

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### size

          public int size()

      Returns the number of elements stored in the queue.
      Specified by:
        `size` in interface `Collection<E>`
      Specified by:
        `size` in class `AbstractCollection<E>`
      Returns:
        this queue's size

    - #### isEmpty

          public boolean isEmpty()

      Returns true if this queue is empty; false otherwise.
      Specified by:
        `isEmpty` in interface `Collection<E>`
      Overrides:
        `isEmpty` in class `AbstractCollection<E>`
      Returns:
        true if this queue is empty

    - #### isFull

          public boolean isFull()

      Returns true if this collection is full and no new elements can be added.

      A `CircularFifoQueue` can never be full, thus this returns always `false`.

      Specified by:
        `isFull` in interface `BoundedCollection<E>`
      Returns:
        always returns `false`

    - #### maxSize

          public int maxSize()

      Gets the maximum size of the collection (the bound).
      Specified by:
        `maxSize` in interface `BoundedCollection<E>`
      Returns:
        the maximum number of elements the collection can hold

    - #### clear

          public void clear()

      Clears this queue.
      Specified by:
        `clear` in interface `Collection<E>`
      Overrides:
        `clear` in class `AbstractCollection<E>`

    - #### add

          public boolean add(E element)

      Adds the given element to this queue. If the queue is full, the least recently added element is discarded so that a new element can be inserted.
      Specified by:
        `add` in interface `Collection<E>`
      Specified by:
        `add` in interface `Queue<E>`
      Overrides:
        `add` in class `AbstractCollection<E>`
      Parameters:
        `element` - the element to add
      Returns:
        true, always
      Throws:
        `NullPointerException` - if the given element is null

    - #### get

          public E get(int index)

      Returns the element at the specified position in this queue.
      Parameters:
        `index` - the position of the element in the queue
      Returns:
        the element at position `index`
      Throws:
        `NoSuchElementException` - if the requested position is outside the range [0, size)

    - #### offer

          public boolean offer(E element)

      Adds the given element to this queue. If the queue is full, the least recently added element is discarded so that a new element can be inserted.
      Specified by:

      Parameters:
        `element` - the element to add
      Returns:
        true, always
      Throws:
