Queue Linked List

This document defines functions to implement a queue using a linked list data structure in C. It defines a node structure with data and pointer fields, and global front and rear pointers. The main function contains a menu loop that calls functions to insert, delete, and display queue elements. The insert function allocates a new node, adds to front or rear, and updates pointers. The delete function removes the front node and frees memory. The display function traverses the list and prints elements.
