Program Plan Intro

Linked implementation of queue:

  • A linked list is used to implement a queue and it requires two references to mark two ends of the queue.
  • The first reference is “front” and it is used to mark the head of the list from where the item is removed.
  • The second reference is “rear” and it is used to mark the end of the list from where the items are added to the queue.

  • In the linked list implementation of queue, the front and rear will have same value when there is only one element in the list and also when the queue is empty.
