#DEFINATION OF QUEUE
• A queue is a linear data structure that is open at both ends and the operations are performed in
First In First Out (FIFO) order.
• We define a queue to be a list in which all additions to the list are made at one end, and all
deletions from the list are made at the other end. The element which is first pushed into the
order, the delete operation is first performed on that.
• A Queue is like a line waiting to purchase tickets, where the first person in line is the first person
served. (i.e. First come first serve).
• Position of the entry in a queue ready to be served, that is, the first entry that will be removed
from the queue, is called the front of the queue(sometimes, head of the queue), similarly, the
position of the last entry in the queue, that is, the one most recently added, is called the rear (or
the tail) of the queue
• There are basically two functions in queue:
• 1)ENQUEUE
• 2)DEQUEUE
#DIAGRAM OF QUEUE
#ENQUEUE
FUNCTION
->The enqueue function, also known as
"enqueuing" or "push" in some contexts, is a
fundamental operation in a queue data
structure. Its purpose is to add (or enqueue) an
element to the rear (end) of the queue.
->Enqueue() operation in Queue adds (or stores)
an element to the end of the queue.
The following steps should be taken to enqueue
(insert) data into a queue:

Step 1: Check if the queue is full.


Step 2: If the queue is full, return overflow error
and exit.
Step 3: If the queue is not full, increment the
rear pointer to point to the next empty space.
Step 4: Add the data element to the queue
location, where the rear is pointing.
Step 5: return success.
#DEQUEUE
FUNCTION
The "dequeue" function in the context of a queue
typically refers to the operation of removing an
element from the front of the queue. It's a
fundamental operation in a queue data structure
and helps maintain the FIFO (First-In-First-Out)
order of elements in the queue.
It Removes (or access) the first element from the
queue.
The following steps are taken to perform the
dequeue operation:
Step 1: Check if the queue is empty.
Step 2: If the queue is empty, return the underflow
error and exit.
Step 3: If the queue is not empty, access the data
where the front is pointing.
Step 4: Increment the front pointer to point to the
next available data element.
Step 5: The Return success.
#TYPES OF QUEUE
• There are 4 types of queue:
• Simple Queue: The basic queue where elements are enqueued at the
rear and dequeued from the front.
• Priority Queue: Elements have associated priorities, and higher-
priority elements are dequeued first.
• Double-ended Queue (Deque): Allows insertion and deletion of
elements from both the front and rear.
• Circular Queue: The rear and front pointers wrap around to the
beginning of the queue when they reach the end, creating a circular
structure.
Priority queue
A priority queue is an abstract data type
(ADT) that operates similar to a regular
queue or stack but with a distinct
characteristic: elements in a priority
queue are assigned a priority, and the
element with the highest priority is
always the next to be removed. Priority
queues are often used in situations
where elements need to be processed
based on their priority rather than their
order of insertion.
DOUBLE ENDED
QUEUE
A dequeue (double-ended queue) is
a linear data structure that supports
the insertion and removal of
elements at both the front and the
rear ends of the queue, providing
efficient access and modification to
elements at either end. It can be
thought of as a combination of a
stack (which allows elements to be
added and removed from one end)
and a queue (which allows
elements to be added at one end
and removed from the other).
CIRCULAR QUEUE
A circular queue, also known as a
circular buffer, is a data structure that
operates like a regular queue but with
the added feature that when the
queue becomes full, new elements
can wrap around and be added at the
beginning of the queue if space is
available. This circular behavior is
achieved by using a fixed-size array or
a linked list with a circular
arrangement.

#APPLICATIONS OF QUEUE
• 1. **Job Scheduling:** Queues are used in job scheduling algorithms, such as the scheduling of processes in
operating systems. The processes waiting to execute are placed in a queue, and they are executed in the
order they arrived.

• 2. **Print Queue:** In computer systems, print jobs are often managed using a print queue. Print jobs are
processed in the order they are received, ensuring fairness in printing.

• 3. **Breadth-First Search (BFS):** BFS, a graph traversal algorithm, uses a queue to explore nodes level by
level, making it useful for finding the shortest path in unweighted graphs.

• 4. **Task Management:** Queues are commonly used in task management systems, such as task scheduling
in multi-threaded applications. Tasks are added to a queue and executed by worker threads in a controlled
manner.

• 5. **Buffering:** Queues are used as buffers to temporarily store data when there is a difference in the rate
of production and consumption. This is common in scenarios like data streaming and communication
systems.
• 6. **Print Spooling:** In printing systems, a print spooler often uses a queue to manage print jobs. Print jobs are queued up and printed one after the other, maintaining
order.

• 7. **Call Center Systems:** In call centers, customer service requests are often placed in a queue and handled by customer service representatives in the order they were
received.

• 8. **Task Scheduling:** Queues are used in scheduling algorithms for CPU task management in operating systems. Processes in the ready state are placed in a queue and
scheduled for execution.

• 9. **Order Processing:** In e-commerce and retail systems, orders are often processed in the order they are received, using a queue to manage incoming orders.

• 10. **Browsing History:** Web browsers use a queue to keep track of the pages you visit. The forward and backward navigation buttons often rely on this queue to navigate
through your browsing history.

• 11. **Printers and Scanners:** Printers and scanners often have queues for incoming print or scan requests. This ensures that print or scan jobs are processed in the order
they are received.

• 12. **Simulations:** Queues are used in various simulations, such as simulating customer arrivals at a service center, traffic flow, and more.

• 13. **Task Synchronization:** Queues can be used for synchronization between different parts of a program, allowing one part to notify another when a certain condition is
met.

• 14. **Message Queues:** In distributed systems, message queues are used to exchange messages between different components or services asynchronously. This helps
decouple various parts of a system and improves scalability.

• 15. **Game Development:** Queues can be used in game development for managing actions or events that need to be processed in a specific order.
