/**
 * Resizable-array implementation of the {@link 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
 * {@link Stack} when used as a stack, and faster than {@link LinkedList} when used as a queue.
 *
 * <p>
 * Most <tt>ArrayDeque</tt> operations run in amortized constant time. Exceptions include {@link #remove(Object)
 * remove}, {@link #removeFirstOccurrence removeFirstOccurrence}, {@link #removeLastOccurrence removeLastOccurrence},
 * {@link #contains contains}, {@link #iterator iterator.remove()}, and the bulk operations, all of which run in linear
 * time.
 *
 * <p>
 * The iterators returned by this class's <tt>iterator</tt> method are <i>fail-fast</i>: If the deque is modified at any
 * time after the iterator is created, in any way except through the iterator's own <tt>remove</tt> method, the iterator
 * will generally throw a {@link 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.
 *
 * <p>
 * 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
 * <tt>ConcurrentModificationException</tt> on a best-effort basis. Therefore, it would be wrong to write a program that
 * depended on this exception for its correctness: <i>the fail-fast behavior of iterators should be used only to detect
 * bugs.</i>
 *
 * <p>
 * This class and its iterator implement all of the <em>optional</em> methods of the {@link Collection} and
 * {@link Iterator} interfaces.
