Program Plan Intro

Queue:

  • The queue is a linear data structure used to store a set of data.
  • The queue is a collection of data that are accessed in FIFO (first-in-first-out) order for performing the operations.
  • A queue is opened at both its ends. One end is for inserting items to the queue and the other end is for removing the items from the queue.
  • The two basic operations performed on queue are,
    • enqueue() – add an item to queue.
    • dequeue() – remove an item from the queue.
  • Queue does not have fixed size.
