Queue
FIFO (First In First Out)
Applications of Queue
In real world
The line at the supermarket
People line up or queue up for getting on a bus
Waiting at the bank

In Computer world
A List of Jobs Waiting to be Printed
Mouse Clicks
Key Stroke Buffer
Operating system process scheduling

Queue

Queue implementation
using arrays

return true;

}
bool enqueue ( int a){

return false;
}
arr[++rear] = a;
return true;
}
bool dequeue (){

return false;
}
for(int i=0; i<rear; i++){
arr[i]=arr[i+1];}

}

Circular Queue
Circular Arrays

rear
front
Problem.
rear = (rear + 1) % size
and front?
