FIFOQueue

java.lang.Object
- ptolemy.actor.util.FIFOQueue

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.lang.Cloneable
```
public class FIFOQueue
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.lang.Cloneable
```
A first-in, first-out (FIFO) queue with variable capacity and optional history. Objects are appended to the queue with the put() method, and removed from the queue with the take() method. The object removed is the oldest one in the queue. By default, the capacity is infinite, but it can be set to any nonnegative size. If the history capacity is greater than zero (or infinite, by setting the capacity to INFINITE_CAPACITY), then objects removed from the queue are transferred to a history queue rather than simply removed. By default, the history capacity is zero.

```
public FIFOQueue()
```
    Construct an empty queue with no container.

    Parameters:
    
    model - The queue to be copied.
- Method Detail
  - clear
```
public void clear()
```
    Remove all items currently stored in the queue and clear the history queue. The queue capacity, history capacity and container remain unchanged.
  - clone

public java.lang.Object clone()
                       throws java.lang.CloneNotSupportedException
```
    Clone this queue. The cloned queue has no container. The objects in the queue themselves are not cloned.
    
    Overrides:
    
    clone in class java.lang.Object
    
    Returns:
    
    A clone of this queue.
    
    Throws:

  - elements
```
@Deprecated
public java.util.Enumeration elements()

```
public java.lang.Object get(int offset)

    Return an object in the queue or history. The object is not removed from the queue or history. If the offset argument is zero, return the oldest object in the queue. If the offset is 1, return the second oldest object, etc. If there is no such object in the queue (the offset is greater than or equal to the current queue size), throw an exception. If the argument is -1, return the most recent object that was put in the history. If the argument is -2, return the second most recent object in the history, etc. If there is no such object in the history (the history capacity is zero or the absolute value of the offset is greater than the current size of the history queue), throw an exception.
    
    Parameters:
    
    offset - The position of the desired object.
    
    Returns:
    
    The desired object in the queue or history.

```
public void setCapacity(int capacity)
                 throws IllegalActionException

    Set queue capacity. Use INFINITE_CAPACITY to indicate unbounded capacity (which is the default). If the current size of the queue exceeds the desired capacity, throw an exception.
    
    Parameters:
    
    capacity - The desired capacity.
    
    Throws:

  - setHistoryCapacity
```
public void setHistoryCapacity(int capacity)
                        throws IllegalActionException
```
    Set the capacity of the history queue. Use 0 to disable the history mechanism and INFINITE_CAPACITY to make the history capacity unbounded. If the size of the history queue exceeds the desired capacity, remove the oldest objects from the history queue until its size equals the proposed capacity. Note that this can be used to clear the history queue by supplying 0 as the argument.
    
    Parameters:
    
    capacity - The desired capacity of the history queue.
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalActionException - If the desired capacity is illegal.
    
    See Also:
    
    getHistoryCapacity()
  - size
```
public int size()
```
    Return the number of objects in the queue.
    
    Returns:
    
    The number of objects in the queue.
  - take
```
public java.lang.Object take()
                      throws java.util.NoSuchElementException
```
    Remove the oldest object from the queue and return it. If there is no such object in the queue (the queue is empty), throw an exception. If the history mechanism is enabled, then put the taken object in the history queue. If the capacity of the history queue would be exceeded by this, then first remove the oldest object in the history queue.
    
    Returns:
    
    An object from the queue.
    
    Throws:
    
    java.util.NoSuchElementException - If the queue is empty.
