* A collection designed for holding elements prior to processing. |

* Besides basic {@link Collection} operations, queues provide |
| 12 |

* <p>Queues typically, but do not necessarily, order elements in a |
| 15 |
|
* FIFO (first-in-first-out) manner. Among the exceptions are |
| 16 |
|
* priority queues, which order elements according to a supplied |
| 17 |
< |
* comparator, or the elements' natural ordering. Every Queue |
| 18 |
< |
* implementation must specify its ordering guarantees. |

* comparator, or the elements' natural ordering, and LIFO queues (or |
| 18 |
> |
* stacks) which order the elements LIFO (last-in-first-out). |
| 19 |
> |
* Whatever the ordering used, the <em>head</em> of the queue is that element |
| 20 |
> |
* which would be removed by a call to {@link #remove() } or {@link #poll()}. |
| 21 |

* Every Queue implementation must specify its ordering guarantees. |

|
* |
| 23 |
|
* <p>The {@link #offer(E)} method adds an element if possible, otherwise |
| 24 |
|
* returning <tt>false</tt>. This differs from the {@link |
| 25 |
|
* Collections#add(Object)} method, which throws an unchecked exception upon |
| 26 |
|
* failure. It is designed for use in collections in which failure to |
| 27 |
|
* add is a normal, rather than exceptional occurrence, for example, |

| 32 |

* Exactly which element is removed from the queue is a |
| 33 |
|

| 33 |
< |
* are not limited to) first-in-first-out (FIFO), last-in-first-out |
| 34 |

* implementation to implementation. The <tt>remove()</tt> and |
| 35 |
|
* <tt>poll()</tt> methods differ only in their behavior when the |
| 36 |
|
* queue is empty: the <tt>remove()</tt> method throws an exception, |
| 37 |
|
* while the <tt>poll()</tt> method returns <tt>null</tt>. |
| 38 |
|
* |
| 39 |
< |
* <p>The {@link #element()} and {@link #peek()} methods return but do |
