Study Notes
Queue Data Structure
- A queue is a linear data structure that follows the FIFO (First-In, First-Out) principle.
- Elements are added to the rear (back) of the queue and removed from the front (head).
- Common operations:
- Enqueue: Adding an element to the rear of the queue.
- Dequeue: Removing and returning the element from the front of the queue.
- Applications:
- Call centers
- Printing jobs
- Managing tasks in a system
Queue Operations
-
Enqueue (Adding):
- Adds an element to the rear (back) of the queue.
- If the queue is full, indicates that the queue cannot accept any more elements.
-
Dequeue (Removing):
- Removes and returns the element from the front (head) of the queue.
- If the queue is empty, displays a message indicating that the queue is empty.
- IsEmpty: Checks if the queue is empty.
- IsFull: Checks if the queue is full.
-
Peek/Front:
- Returns the data from the front of the queue without removing it.
- It just retrieves the value.
Two Main Queue Implementation Types
-
Array-based Queue:
- Elements are stored in an array.
- Operations can be performed in O(1) time.
- May require fixed-size allocation.
-
Linked-List Based Queue:
- Elements are stored in a linked list
- Operation are performed in O(1) time.
- No fixed-size limitation, elements added as needed.
