        • Create a new node.
        • Assign the temporary old data to the new pointer.
        • Assign NULL to the link of temporary new pointer.

        • Assign “temp_ptr_new” to “back”.

    • Give definition for the destructor.
      • Declare a variable “next”.
      • Do till the queue is empty.
        • Remove the items using “remove ()” method.
    • Give definition for “empty ()” to check if the queue is empty or not.
      • Return “back == NULL”.
    • Give definition for the method “add ()”.
      • Check if the queue is empty.
        • Create a new node.
        • Assign the item to the data field.
        • Make the front node as null.
        • Assign front as the back.
      • Else,
        • Create a new pointer.
        • Create a new node.
        • Assign the item to “temp_ptr->data”.
        • Assign “NULL” to “temp_ptr->link”.
        • Assign temporary pointer to the link.
        • Assign temporary pointer to the back.
    • Give definition for the method “remove ()”.
      • Check if the queue is empty.
        • Print the message.
      • Store the value into the variable “result”.
      • Create an object “discard” for the pointer “QueueNodePtr”.
      • Assign “front” to “discard”.
      • Assign the link of front to “front”.
      • Check if the front is null.
        • Assign null to the back.
      • Delete the object “discard”.
      • Return “result”.

PriorityQueue.h:

  • Include required header files.
  • Create a namespace named “queuesavitch”.
    • Declare a class “PriorityQueue”.
      • Inside “public” access specifier,
        • Declare the constructor and destructor.
        • Declare the virtual function.

PriorityQueue.cpp:

  • Include required header files.
  • Create a namespace named “queuesavitch”.
    • Declare the constructor and destructor.
    • Give function to remove items.
      • Check if the queue is empty.
        • Print the messge.
      • Assing “front->data” to “smallest”.
      • Assign “NULL” to “nodeBeforeSmallest”.
      • Assign “front” to “previousPtr”.
      • Assign the link of front to “current”.
      • Using while condition “current != NULL”,
        • Check if the data is smaller.
          • Assing “current->data” to “smallest”.
          • Assign “previousPtr” to “nodeBeforeSmallest”.
        • Assign “current” to “previousPtr”.
        • Assign “current->link” to “current”.
      • Create an object “discard”.
      • Check if the node is null.
        • Assign “front” to “discard”.
        • Assign the link of front to “front”.
      • Check if the link is equal to back.
        • Assign “back” to “discard”.
        • Assign “nodeBeforeSmallest” to “back”.
        • Assign “NULL” to “back->link”.
      • Else,
        • Assign “nodeBeforeSmallest->link” to “discard”.
        • Assign “discard->link” to “nodeBeforeSmallest->link”.
      • Check if front is equal to null.
        • Assign “NULL” to “back”.
      • Delete the object “discard”.
      • Return the smallest item.

main.cpp:

  • Include required header files.
  • Inside the “main ()” function,
    • Create an object for “PriorityQueue”.
    • Add the integers to the queue using “add ()” method.
    • While “(!que.empty())”,
      • Call the function “que.remove()”.
    • Declare a character variable.
    • Get a character.
    • Return the statement.

C++ A queue is essentially a waiting list. It’s a sequence of elements with a front and a back. Elements can only be added to the back of the queue and they can only be removed from the front of the queue. Elements are kept in order so that the first element to enter the queue is the first one to leave it.
Part 3: Building a Point of Sales (POS) linked list data structure. In a POS system, a transaction is based on items purchased by the customer. The following is an example of a customer transaction receipt, where the prices shown in the receipt are GST inclusive.   Write a linked list classes (one class for Node and another class for List), which store the items in the transaction. Test the classes by printing the items in the linked list and show the total price of the transaction. The following listing is the sample output for your reference:   ============================== BC Items                                    Price ============================== 10 Pagoda Gnut 110g              3.49 11 Hup Seng Cream Cracker   4.19 12 Yit Poh 2n1 Kopi-o              7.28 13 Zoelife SN & Seed               5.24 14 Gatsby S/FO Wet&Hard    16.99 15 GB W/G U/Hold 150g         6.49 ============================== Total (GST Incl.)                        43.68…
C++ programming design a class to implement a sorted circular linked list. The usual operations on a circular list are:Initialize the list (to an empty state). Determine if the list is empty. Destroy the list. Print the list. Find the length of the list. Search the list for a given item. Insert an item in the list. Delete an item from the list. Copy the list. Write the definitions of the class circularLinkedList and its member functions (You may assume that the elements of the circular linked list are in ascending order). Also, write a program to test the operations of your circularLinkedList class. NOTE: The nodes for your list can be defined in either a struct or class. Each node shall store int values.
