这里为什么用while 不用 if ?

public class BoundedQueue<T> {
private Object[] items;
// 添加的下标，删除的下标和数组当前数量
private int addIndex, removeIndex, count;
private Lock lock = new ReentrantLock();
private Condition notEmpty = lock.newCondition();
private Condition notFull = lock.newCondition();
public BoundedQueue(int size) {
items = new Object[size];
}
// 添加一个元素，如果数组满，则添加线程进入等待状态，直到有"空位"
public void add(T t) throws InterruptedException {
lock.lock();
try {
while (count == items.length)
notFull.await();
items[addIndex] = t;
if (++addIndex == items.length)
addIndex = 0;
++count;
notEmpty.signal();
} finally {
lock.unlock();
}
}
// 由头部删除一个元素，如果数组空，则删除线程进入等待状态，直到有新添加元素
@SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
public T remove() throws InterruptedException {
lock.lock();
try {
while (count == 0)
notEmpty.await();
Object x = items[removeIndex];
if (++removeIndex == items.length)
removeIndex = 0;
--count;
notFull.signal();
return (T) x;
} finally {
lock.unlock();
}
}
}
