Runtime Complexity of Java Collections

Below are the Big O performance of common functions of different Java Collections.

Thanks for this. One correction ..... For Queue, I am pretty sure it is "peek" and not "peak". Cheers.

PriorityQueue remove() without arguments, it calls poll() which is same as o(log n), and remove(Object) internally calls its private methods which uses comparator so it is also O(log n)

Isn't ArrayDeque array based? Specifically, circular array. If it's LinkedList based, you can just use Linked List as object type for Deque.
