Choose a random element from Java.util.Deque

Question

Usually I use the Deque for it's intended purpose but infrequently I need to choose a random element from it. I use the below code to do so, but it requires iterating through the Deque. Is there a more efficient way to do it?

Iterator<T> iterator = mDeque.iterator();
int target = mRand.nextInt(mDeque.size());
while (iterator.hasNext()) {
    if (target == 0) {
        chosenElement = iterator.next();
        break;
    } else {
        iterator.next();
        target--;
     }
 }

Answer 1

您可以使用ArrayDeque ，使用toArray ，然后直接使用索引（您的示例为[target] ）
