Java LinkedList offer() Method
Example
Add an item to the end of a list:
import java.util.LinkedList;
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
LinkedList<String> cars = new LinkedList<String>();
cars.add("Volvo");
cars.add("BMW");
cars.offer("Ford");
System.out.println(cars);
}
}Definition and Usage
The offer() method adds an item to the end of the list.
It works like add(). The name comes from queues (lists where items are added at the end and taken from the front), where offer() is the usual way to add an item.
Tip: Use the poll() method to take the first item out of the list.
