Hi Turkhan, this mail belongs to core-libs-dev list. I have forwarded your mail 
to the right list.

Indeed, we should claim that peek() is equivalent to peekFirst(); the 
information in stack section should be a typo, as peek() being the same as 
peekFirst() is claimed by the deque section and the peek() specification.

I have created a ticket on the Java Bug System to track this issue: 
[JDK-8337205] Typo in Stack vs Deque Method table in Deque specification - Java 
Bug System (openjdk.org)<https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8337205>

Feel free to open a pull request to jdk to fix this bug.

Best, Chen Liang

Subject: Should the documentation state peekFirst() as equivalent to Stack's 
peek()?

Here is the table "Comparison of Stack and Deque methods" that lists equivalent 
Deque methods compared to Stack methods: 
https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/22/docs/api/java.base/java/util/Deque.html

At the moment, getFirst() is said to be equivalent to peek(). Since peek() 
doesn't throw an exception when the queue/stack is empty, peekFirst() could be 
a better equivalent because getFirst() throws.

In fact, the documentation of the peek() method itself says that this method is 
equivalent to peekFirst(): 
https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/22/docs/api/java.base/java/util/Deque.html#peek().

If this should be posted somewhere else, please let me know. I am still new to 
using mailing lists. Cheers.
