ArrayDeque
    open class ArrayDeque<E : Any!> : AbstractCollection<E>, Cloneable, Deque<E>, Serializable
    
    Resizable-array implementation of the Deque interface. Array deques have no capacity restrictions; they grow as necessary to support usage. They are not thread-safe; in the absence of external synchronization, they do not support concurrent access by multiple threads. Null elements are prohibited. This class is likely to be faster than Stack when used as a stack, and faster than LinkedList when used as a queue. 
    Most ArrayDeque operations run in amortized constant time. Exceptions include #remove(java.lang.Object), removeFirstOccurrence, removeLastOccurrence, #contains, #iterator, and the bulk operations, all of which run in linear time. 
    The iterators returned by this class's #iterator() method are fail-fast: If the deque is modified at any time after the iterator is created, in any way except through the iterator's own remove method, the iterator will generally throw a ConcurrentModificationException. Thus, in the face of concurrent modification, the iterator fails quickly and cleanly, rather than risking arbitrary, non-deterministic behavior at an undetermined time in the future. 
    Note that the fail-fast behavior of an iterator cannot be guaranteed as it is, generally speaking, impossible to make any hard guarantees in the presence of unsynchronized concurrent modification. Fail-fast iterators throw ConcurrentModificationException on a best-effort basis. Therefore, it would be wrong to write a program that depended on this exception for its correctness: the fail-fast behavior of iterators should be used only to detect bugs. 
    This class and its iterator implement all of the optional methods of the Collection, SequencedCollection, and Iterator interfaces. 
    This class is a member of the  Java Collections Framework.

                    | Deque<E> | reversed()
                         Returns a reverse-ordered view of this collection. The encounter order of elements in the returned view is the inverse of the encounter order of elements in this collection. The reverse ordering affects all order-sensitive operations, including those on the view collections of the returned view. If the collection implementation permits modifications to this view, the modifications "write through" to the underlying collection. Changes to the underlying collection might or might not be visible in this reversed view, depending upon the implementation. |  |

      remove
      
      open fun remove(): E
      Retrieves and removes the head of the queue represented by this deque. This method differs from #poll() only in that it throws an exception if this deque is empty. 
      This method is equivalent to #removeFirst.

      remove
      
      open fun remove(element: E?): Boolean
      Removes a single instance of the specified element from this deque. If the deque does not contain the element, it is unchanged. More formally, removes the first element e such that o.equals(e) (if such an element exists). Returns true if this deque contained the specified element (or equivalently, if this deque changed as a result of the call). 
      This method is equivalent to removeFirstOccurrence(java.lang.Object).

Returns true if this deque contained the specified element (or equivalently, if this deque changed as a result of the call).

More formally, removes the last element e such that o.equals(e) (if such an element exists). Returns true if this deque contained the specified element (or equivalently, if this deque changed as a result of the call).

      toArray
      
      open fun toArray(): Array<Any!>
      Returns an array containing all of the elements in this deque in proper sequence (from first to last element). 
      The returned array will be "safe" in that no references to it are maintained by this deque. (In other words, this method must allocate a new array). The caller is thus free to modify the returned array. 
      This method acts as bridge between array-based and collection-based APIs.
      
        
          
            | Return | 
          
            | Array<Any!> | an array containing all of the elements in this deque | 
        
      
     
    
      toArray
      
      open fun <T : Any!> toArray(a: Array<T>): Array<T>
      Returns an array containing all of the elements in this deque in proper sequence (from first to last element); the runtime type of the returned array is that of the specified array. If the deque fits in the specified array, it is returned therein. Otherwise, a new array is allocated with the runtime type of the specified array and the size of this deque. 
      If this deque fits in the specified array with room to spare (i.e., the array has more elements than this deque), the element in the array immediately following the end of the deque is set to null. 
      Like the toArray() method, this method acts as bridge between array-based and collection-based APIs. Further, this method allows precise control over the runtime type of the output array, and may, under certain circumstances, be used to save allocation costs. 
      Suppose x is a deque known to contain only strings. The following code can be used to dump the deque into a newly allocated array of String: 
      <code>String[] y = x.toArray(new String[0]);</code>
 Note that 
toArray(new Object[0]) is identical in function to 
toArray().

            | a | Array<T>: the array into which the elements of the deque are to be stored, if it is big enough; otherwise, a new array of the same runtime type is allocated for this purpose | 
        
      
      
        
          
            | Return |
