# Queue<E> class Null safety

A Queue is a collection that can be manipulated at both ends. One can iterate over the elements of a queue through forEach or with an Iterator.

It is generally not allowed to modify the queue (add or remove entries) while an operation on the queue is being performed, for example during a call to forEach. Modifying the queue while it is being iterated will most likely break the iteration. This goes both for using the iterator directly, or for iterating an `Iterable` returned by a method like map or where.

isEmpty → bool
  Returns `true` if there are no elements in this collection. [...]
  read-only, inherited
isNotEmpty → bool
  Returns true if there is at least one element in this collection. [...]
  read-only, inherited

## Methods

add(E value) → void
  Adds `value` at the end of the queue.
addAll(Iterable<E> iterable) → void
  Adds all elements of `iterable` at the end of the queue. The length of the queue is extended by the length of `iterable`.
addFirst(E value) → void
  Adds `value` at the beginning of the queue.
addLast(E value) → void
  Adds `value` at the end of the queue.
any(bool test(E element)) → bool
  Checks whether any element of this iterable satisfies `test`. [...]
  inherited
cast<R>() → Queue<R>
  Provides a view of this queue as a queue of `R` instances, if necessary. [...]
  override
clear() → void
  Removes all elements in the queue. The size of the queue becomes zero.
contains(Object? element) → bool
  Returns true if the collection contains an element equal to `element`. [...]
  inherited
elementAt(int index) → E
  Returns the `index`th element. [...]
  inherited
every(bool test(E element)) → bool
  Checks whether every element of this iterable satisfies `test`. [...]
  inherited
expand<T>(Iterable<T> f(E element)) → Iterable<T>
  Expands each element of this Iterable into zero or more elements. [...]
  inherited
firstWhere(bool test(E element), {E orElse()}) → E
  Returns the first element that satisfies the given predicate `test`. [...]
  inherited
fold<T>(T initialValue, T combine(T previousValue, E element)) → T
  Reduces a collection to a single value by iteratively combining each element of the collection with an existing value [...]
  inherited
followedBy(Iterable<E> other) → Iterable<E>
  Returns the lazy concatentation of this iterable and `other`. [...]
  inherited
forEach(void f(E element)) → void
  Applies the function `f` to each element of this collection in iteration order.
  inherited
join([String separator = ""]) → String
  Converts each element to a String and concatenates the strings. [...]
  inherited
lastWhere(bool test(E element), {E orElse()}) → E
  Returns the last element that satisfies the given predicate `test`. [...]
  inherited
map<T>(T f(E e)) → Iterable<T>
  Returns a new lazy Iterable with elements that are created by calling `f` on each element of this `Iterable` in iteration order. [...]
  inherited
noSuchMethod(Invocation invocation) → dynamic
  Invoked when a non-existent method or property is accessed. [...]
  inherited
reduce(E combine(E value, E element)) → E
  Reduces a collection to a single value by iteratively combining elements of the collection using the provided function. [...]
  inherited
remove(Object? value) → bool
  Remove a single instance of `value` from the queue. [...]
removeFirst() → E
  Removes and returns the first element of this queue. [...]
removeLast() → E
  Removes and returns the last element of the queue. [...]
removeWhere(bool test(E element)) → void
