    public String toString(){
        return this.grocery_item;
    }
}
public class ArrayBlockingQueueRemoveExample2 {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        int capacity=100;
        Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);
        List list1 = new List("Cake");

        List list5 = new List("Basmati Rice");
        List list6 = new List("Aata");
        ArrayBlockingQueue<List> queue = new ArrayBlockingQueue<List>(capacity);
        queue.add(list1);
        queue.add(list2);
        queue.add(list3);
        queue.add(list4);
        queue.add(list5);
        queue.add(list6);
        for (List xyz:queue){
            System.out.println(xyz);
        }
        queue.remove(list4);
